    Default Epic car sighting....

    So yeah.... today Jenn and I were heading back into Grand Junction, Colorado after a nice trip over to the Gateway Auto Museum (pics of that will be up later)..we came across this. When it passed us, we had to really ask eachother if that really did just happen. So I turned around and chased it down....and found it feeding on some liquid dinosaur...






    Yes...I have more pics that will get posted up later.
    Yes...it had some friends that were driving across the country with it
    Yes...they really are that small
    Yes...it was covered in dirt.

    That is most definitely an epic car! I especially loved the LM edition that was later released.

    Just in case you were wondering what makes the wheels so special...

    (taken from wikipedia)
    "The McLaren F1 uses 235/45ZR17 front tires and 315/45ZR17 rear tires.[7] These are specially designed and developed solely for the McLaren F1 by Goodyear and Michelin. The tires are mounted on 17x9 inches and 17x11.5 inches cast magnesium wheels, protected by a tough protective paint. The five-spoke wheels are secured with magnesium retention pins."

    ^I didn't say they did. I just said the they were special. F1 style, single lug, magnesium wheels are badass.

    On the other hand, the LM's wheels hot AND rare.

    Yes, it had a temp tag on it.

    Yesterday was epic car day for us. We also saw a one of a kind Bertone Mantide. Not to mention the amazing collection of classics at the auto museum.

    And to think, we were just talking about how we'd been to about a dozen states in the past couple of weeks and had barely seen any impressive cars. Oh how wrong we were... lol
