This dude was trying to get girls to hop in his McLaren with him. He was 0 for 5 while I watched him.

Definitely a rental! I’d bet money on it. The kind of dudes who can afford these things don’t need to ask

Not sure why but reminded me of this

They had instant short supercar rentals dotted about while i was in paris. Like literally parked on the street waiting for punters.

McLarens seem like more of the kind of car you'd use to pick up other guys, whether you wanted to or not. "Duuuude, is that the 12C? Whoa, take a selfie with me!"

Does not work on Parisian girls

The kinds of guys who afford these things meet the girls at the fancy nightclub, then they get them in the car.

Yeah, the street in front of this one had Ferraris for rent. It was something like €90 for a spin around the block.

I honestly cant think of a worse place to drive a supercar... Other than like an off road course or something. Its just traffic and people walking on the road.

Right, you need to go italian, or at least german.

Could have been, but I've seen dudes with these kinds of cars solicit girls on several occasions. I had a dude solicit me for a ride in his yellow Ferrari at a Whole Foods in Phoenix. Just because you have a super car doesn't mean you know how to pick up girls.

Dude was clearly out of his element. Maybe he didn't want to show up at the club alone.

That guy typifies Lambo owners perfectly. What a douche bag.

Spot on. The only reason I noticed the guy is because I spotted the McLaren in a sea of Ferraris and Lambos. Dude was clearly using the wrong tool for the job.

Right? Probably one of the few areas where a Vespa would be more fun to drive than a supercar. Plus everyone would look at you like you’re a dickhead as they’re trying to eat and shop next to your loud ass car.

Agreed. Id definitely be back on a scooter if i lived there. Paris is fantastic but the people there dont tolerate anything out of the ordinary. My french is... almost non existent and even when i ordered a meal in broken french they seemed annoyed just because i was a foreigner.

She's obviously not Parisian as she isn't smoking. I honestly don't find Parisian girls to be very stuck up. Persian girls shopping in Paris though, holy shit. Fucking gorgeous though.

I speak almost no French. I’m staying at an apartment in a non tourist neighborhood and the local restaurants have all had very friendly wait staff as I struggle to order stuff. I also have young kids which doesn’t always help. Ive been here three times so I know what to expect. The vast majority of people have been very friendly.
I still feel like the city is a bit shell shocked. I was in NY a few months after 9/11 and it kind of has the same vibe. People seemed to have slowed down a bit. There’s also soldiers in full battle rattle walking around everywhere so the city definitely has a bit different vibe to it.

It was very bizarre, as the guy was pretty disheveled and didn't look like your typical Ferrrari owner. I was taking a pic of his car as he walked towards me and asked if I wanted to go for a ride with him. I thought he was some some rando making a joke so I laughed, then he unlocked it and asked me to hop in. I was like is this what Lapo Elkann looks like when he's done waaayyyyy too much coke? My wife was standing across the parking lot waiting for me and heard the whole thing. She was like what the fuck was that about?

Holy shit...that’s really a thing? I kind of feel ashamed just because there are guys that do this and I’m a guy

“non-tourist neighborhood” so that the waitstaff, store clerks, residents, et cetera are not fatigued/disgusted by dealing with hordes of tourists from various lands—and you likely don't act like a jet-lagged and/or stupid tourist.

Precisely.
