I'd have to say it would be like rolling around in a Gremlin. With a sponge-brushed paint job (like my dad and uncle did to theirs when they were in HS. With exterior house paint)

Saw one at Pebble Beach at the Lexus booth... but not in the wild. Odd, I've seen like 5 different Bugatti's in the wild, yet not a single LFA. I heard Lexus was only selling to people who'd get media attention for having one, not rich car guys.

I have seen a lot of really nice cars living in the pearl (NW Portland) Including an LFA. They are pretty eye catching.
