Default LFA #247 Black everything with red calipers

It was parked at my local strip mall by the supermarket, in a tiny parking spot that is high risk for damage, any SUV or shopping cart would bang it up at anytime. This guy must be loaded to not care. I won't even leave my old clunker Lexus in that spot unattended:

The white 05' Corolla UL parked next to it, is my old clunker.

Seeing how close that corolla was parked next to him, he scooched over to the handicap side. It's probably safer too

I didn't parked close to it at all, that was how tiny those spots are.

There are so much ignorant people in that lot that can bang up that $20k bumper at anytime.

Nice pictures. Good I wish Lexus never bothered putting those winglets. Everytime I see them, I cannot get over the fact how out of place they are (I don't believe they offer more than marginal aero either).

The larger question is why would the owner bank at Wells Fargo

I ended up with them after Wachovia tanked and Wells bought their mortgage business

Example: To refi at x rate you need to have automatic payment set up. Here is the form to provide account info. I provided the info. Close to closing they come back and say your account is not with us. I say so what. They say if you use another bank the rate will be 0.25% higher so I was stuck setting up a Wells account and they like 2 branches in the Chicago area.

That owner wasn't there for banking, the bank closed more then an hour ago before I shot that pic.

Most exotic cars that parked in that lot is going to the luxury theater:
