me inside the Lamborghini and Ferrari sections of the LA Autoshow

Courtesy of Nico's phone for the pics hah and of him, got into the private Bentley, Ferrari, and Lamborghini sections at the LA Autoshow.

It was great rolling up to their counters looking like an average fellow with some flip flops, a v-neck, and some jeans and saying "I'd like to come in please," and them saying "No, Im sorry....these are not open to the public," and then whipping out a set of keys to a Bentley and a Maserati and saying "No, I'd like to come in." .............haha and then of course they'd immediatley say "oh im sorry sir, come right in."

Got to sit in and had the keys of the Lamborghini Reventon handed to me and was able to turn the ignition on and play with the gauges. I was also able to fool around with the only 2 Ferrari F430 Scuderia's in the entire USA, and also got to play around with the Gallardo Superlaggera (no pics of me in the Reventon from what I remember, and the lambo i was inside in the pics is the Superlaggera one)

thats why the first thing in my thread says "Courtesy of Nico for the phone pics and of him"

He does have a Bentley........and my post says Maserati key, not Lambo key. So by showing these private sections a set of keys (or in this case, 2 keys) to cars like that or in the same price range, they know your for real and can afford it, so they let you in.
