Someone say Lambo?

This happened outside my office last Tuesday. Eurocar is across the street from us - as is Ferrari/Maserati of Newport Beach.

Wow, one hour. Is that even enough time to call your ins co to add on the car to your policy?

Glad no one was hurt.

And down to the 2nd page and not one "buff right out" comment, yet?

One of my car buddies said he heard that the Hellcat was being allocated to one car per state/province.

It is tall and evidently wont fit on the Viper platform. Would be perfect in a Jaguar.
