There you go! When I trip to SoCal, I see a lot of people towing everything from classic cars to jeeps. That way you can take into the city and will only put maybe a couple hundred miles on it at most. Just make sure you put a club on it 🤣
I think the LX would be fun to drive around LA in also just because where we lived wasn't a heavy BOF SUV area, at all. I'd have to save up $200 a day in gas money, lmao. I couldn't even break 10mpg in the LS430, I can't even imagine the 5.7 in SoCal traffic.
Here every other car is an Escalade but out there at least our area we lived in they're mostly livery etc.
And oh yeah. It'd be fun to valet the Merc and watch them put it out front bc I'm sure they would. But I honestly don't even want valets touching that car.
SoCal has the best car **** in the world, specifically Los Angeles. It's the car capital of the universe.
been a long time since i was out there... but newport beach had crazy amount of exotic and very high end cars when i went there. i doubt that's changed.
I would DIE to be able to drive our Silver Arrow SL around LA and would drive it out there
because you want to be 'seen' in it? interesting. i couldn't care less about being seen or noticed. i've been surprised the few times someone gives thumbs up or comments about the lc500.

yup, but that would be one heck of a gas bill. having just been involved in having someone else's car transported from LA to florida twice (long story), i can tell you it's about $1200 each way.

It hasn't. LA is just next level with the cool cars. There's everything.

It's not that I want to be seen in it, but there are Mercedes freaks out there who would spot and know what a Silver Arrow is and appreciate it.

It'd be fun though, no way I would ever trust anyone to ship that car IDC who it is. This is one of the reasons I wanted a truck for us, hence LX. A capable truck opens up several doors for its owner.
Happy New year 👍
