2:14am. I am in Las Vegas, in a god damn penthouse suite at the Cosmopolitan. I'm tired. I just partied with Chum Lee from Pawn Stars and am currently awaiting room service to deliver my buffalo wings and orange juice. Freshly squeezed, of course. Earlier today, I rented a Ferrari 458 and took it on the Vegas Speedway for 7 laps. I have never driven a ferrari. I have never driven a mid engine car. I have never driven a super care designed to handle turns at speed. Let me tell you this.....God damn. I said god damn.

Ferrari, you may have a future customer. I'll post a more detailed story later. Peace and love my fellow Oppos.

Never realized how THICK these doors are. Oof. Side-crash test requirements... like, look at how thick the doors on a Testarossa were:

I had essentially the same reaction the first time I drove a F430. They aren't the most insane cars on the road, but compared to what I usually drive (a Jeep, a vintage BMW, or a Mini Cooper)... God damn. Absolutely bonkers. I don't think I could wipe the stupid smile off my face for days after a little too much fun in that car.

when I was with him he wasn't saying much, just kind of dancing and drinking. It must get annoying being recognized as much as he does. He was cool though, and he got real thin too

Exotics Racing, right? Great place, great fun. Completely agree about the stupid smile...for us non-1%ers it's a rare and amazing experience.
