Default Spotted LFA #186 story inside

So as I am heading back from my coffee run out of the corner of my eye I see a Black LFA. I almost spilled my coffee . So I decided I would follow it and see where it goes. I was in my moms Gx470 and not in my F. The car then takes a turn into my neighborhood so follow him to his house and turns out the guy lives like 500ft away from me. I walk up his drive way and he revs it a few times; I almost needed a change of pants.

He was pretty quiet guy, but was very careful while pulling the car up in his driveway and parking it. I hope he appreciates it. The car is beautiful. You would be amazed at how much swirling and holograms were on the car from factory. I know it was sitting at Charles Barker lexus for a long time but damn. It needs to be polished and protected as soon as possible. He got it like a week or two ago.

does anyone know anymore about #186?

O yeah and he let me sit in it

Awesome pictures!! Is that the owner sitting in the LFA?? He looks like he is in his 20s or something. He is young for such an expensive car.

Ooops. Sorry, I thought it was the owner.

That is cool that he let you sit in his car and took a picture.

Finally they sold it!!!!! That's good to know. Even though I loved looking at it and dreaming every time I had to go to the beach store. This is great news, especially since its a local guy

And those swirls are the product of wiping it down every once in a while. I guess, not the right way

yes I know that but they could have been a bit more careful. Looks to me like they were not using anything to lubricate and just dry wiping it.
