Default White LFA in Houston

Saw a white LFA cruising down Kirby Drive (River Oaks) on Friday. Looked amazing. Older white male driving.

So there is the first ever owner of the LFA in the US?? (since no prototype has white color).

Must be this one:

#4 was delivered to Houston so that's probably the one in the OP.

The video above was [EDIT: #6] in Oklahoma City, I think.

Gengar, you must take some high-quality shots when you get delivery and share. That's a spectacular combo you got coming!

Watching video of the owner of that silver LFA checking his LFA out made me feel so jealous. I was like "such a lucky bastard".

I'll definitely take pictures of delivery or will have someone take pictures, although I don't have any even half-decent cameras. I was actually thinking that if a Chicago-area CL photographer wants to make his/her way down to Merrillville that could be an option. My LFA won't hit port until the end of the month and unfortunately I'll be taking a lot of business trips in March so I have no idea when I'll actually take delivery (I have to revise my signature a bit). Weather may not cooperate either.

LoL Awesome!!!!

Can't wait to see when yours finally arrives...

Here's a question or two,

Do they assign a #0xx to your allocation once the build begins?
or
Do they even allow you to pick a number ??

I requested first available. I didn't find out my unit number (or even that it was being produced at all) until I did my factory tour and was shown my LFA in production. I don't know if they would have allowed the choice of number if I hadn't requested first available, or how they actually assign the production order.
