When you post, go to the Additional Options box and click manage attachments. You can attach your pics from there.

And yes, I (we) would want pics.

http://media.putfile.com/SLRMcLaren that is one that i took of my dad taking it out for its initial test drive with my mom after we got home in it, September 2nd. It is a slow acceleration with just a tiny goose of the pedal. I have another one that was to prove my friends at school that my dad had one, its when i just sit in it and rev it up, which can be found in my next post in a few.

Damn straight i Have, its better than a fricken roller coaster. It seems like thier is no barrier at any speed i mean you punch the thing, and we usually have the windows down to hear those dual exhausts, and RIIIIIIIIIIP its so mean sounding. The brakes do squeak when they are cold, but all you have to do is do about 90, then slam on them brakes to bring up that rear air brake, and they will stop squeaking for a while. Carbon Ceramic, so it is normal, the dealer said. Any other questions, ask me, i was thier for the whole delivery, but i didnt get to see it come in on its truck .

He only lets me drive it when he is in the car with me, i mean we couldnt even find insurance for the thing on the day we were supposed to pick it up till later afternoon, when Hagerty told us they could, but only him and my mom are insured on it, i have to be 25 in order to be insured on it, wtf at that?

well it makes sense for insurance policies, but atleast you have one waiting in your driveway when you do turn 25. IT sounds like a dragon!

Very, very nice!!!

Although I'm almost certain Roger Penske has one at his home in MI. In early June, I saw him leaving our country club driving a silver one with private plates.
