Cool you guys will appreciate this..

I went to the casino yesterday and opted for the vallet parking. Asked for my member level (which is the lowest, gold) and he said, 'I'm gunna put diamond on here and we'll park it up top, nice car.' Then, on my way out there is a group of guys in their late twenties early thirties waiting for their car. Since mine is right by the entrance, I get my car in like a minute (there is a huge F*cking line for other people picking up their cars). As I'm standing behind these guys waiting they pull my car up and I hear:

Guy one: 'Man, check out this lexus'
Guy two: 'Oh, **** its a gs430, those things are fast'
Guy three: 'I've actually been looking at those'
Guy four: 'That mother f*cker has got some serious class'

All this happens, as I'm walking up and getting into my car right in front of them. hehe Its all under this huge stone canopy too, so the exhaust just sounds f*cking sweet!. All things considered, it really made up for the hundreds of dollars I lost playing carribean stud.

It always feels good when others appreciate our exceptional taste in cars. I have had comparable moments with mine and it always leaves me with a smile.

Damn I can't wait for my L-Tuned Grill and Skirts to get here!!! Of course, I already get a lot of this due to the Cinnabar color...



and I know what you mean about the exhaust... I like the L-Tuned more and more every day... just sounds MEAN.



P.S. We do need pics

It's always nice to hear people complimenting our cars.

I went up to the toll booth at the George Washington Bridge.
The lady said to me, "Very nice color!"

I was flattered.

Now imagine if your car (well my Aristo V300) is one of probably less than 20 Aristos rolling around in the streets of Jakarta of almost 15 million people! Even in stock form, I usually get questioning looks from EVERYONE. Even people who don't drive, people who are walking, lil boys and girls, everyone always stopped and pointed at my car without failure. I always get the best valet spot, always served first at an outdoor garden restaurants (or lounges) and usually gets the right to park next to exotics.

It's good to be me!

That sure must have made you feel good. I had two stories like that this week. I was driving on a main rd and these dudes pull up in a benz with 19's and they are all hanging out the window like daaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnn. Then on the same street this kid in this VW pulls up next to me honks and gives me the thumbs up. I was damn they really like it lol.
