Just dusted a McClaren

Not really, but since you stopped in to read about it....
I did see one, of all places, in a Walmart parking lot.
It was parked next to a '69 Mustang, and I circled it twice, but the owner was no where in sight.
It was a beautiful orange and black, and the shine was ridiculous. The Mustang was gold and black.

Re: Just dusted a McClaren

By dusting it, you mean you threw dust on it as you circled it doing cookies?

Re: Just dusted a McClaren

You want pictures... Google it. My pics wouldn't be any different than anything found on the web.
I don't need to take a pic just because I seen it. What good is a pic going to do?
I looked at since there aren't many exotic type cars in this area, and if the owner would have been present, I would have talked to them.

Pics would prove that you saw a McClaren in a Walmart parking lot. Does Google have pics of that?
I saw a Delorean in the parking lot of Advance Auto parts. Nothing spectacular but I still took a pic of it. Took me 5 seconds...

Re: Just dusted a McClaren

I don't need to prove I seen it. I don't drive around with a camera at the ready.
If you, or anyone else, doesn't believe, it makes no difference in what I seen.
I just thought it was cool enough, to see it in person, rather than a pic on the internet....on a forum.

McClarens one of the few exotics I like...along with some older Nobles.

Why is he lying? Not everyones married to their celphones. We have a local female that owns 2 of them they are her dailies not hard to believe. Some have $ and drive them everywhere

Re: Just dusted a McClaren

I’ve only seen pics of McClarens on the internet in “advertising like” shots. I think it would’ve been cool to get a pic showing the Walmart sign in the background. This would show that people actually use these cars.

It was a joke. I guess we have now gotten to the point where people not only can't take a joke, but now they can't even realize when one is being told.
Are you now going to say I offended you in some way?
