what's the point of "smoking out" your vehicle and then painting your brake calipers for attention?

Honestly, this smoking out stuff is getting out of hand...

I'm confused as to how you can say that's Wilshire and LaBrea when:

1) there's a sign that says "FAIRFAX" in the picture
2) LACMA is on the corner!

Its also a VERY interesting place to spot such a car, since the Petersen Automotive Museum is right across the street...

**EDIT**: I guess having drinks is an ok excuse, as long as (since its your "hood") you were drinking at Molly Malone's...

I don't like the calipers either. It's like all I noticed at first. And the lic plate sticks out like a sore thumb! Super white! Other than that the rest of the car is looks good.

*ahem* for the record, I was NOT drinking. Insomnia set in which is why I was up at 5 am - had I been drinking, I would've passed out already. Do you guys think I'm a big lush or something? Now if you'll excuse me I have a bottle of wine begging for my attention......

i park at the petersen for my job, and i tell you, when there's big events there, it's better than the auto show!

there's only a few IS's in the fairfax corridor. me, a AWD matador, and SGM, every day, same time.
