VISITING SALEEN IN IRVINE
I couldn't resist the invite to go with my friends to Saleen's facility in
Irvine, CA. Being eager, we got there a little early so had a chance to look around.
When, right there, parked in the garage was Saleen's new S7 $375K supercar. With the
driver side door open even!
I decided to step inside the driver seat despite my friend's protests.
Man is it nice and cozy in that pilot seat.
I got out, and I think a couple
of other guys decided to try it out too, but soon enough Saleen management got
wind of what was going on and prevented further intrusions into the vehicle for
the rest of the evening.
Here's the racecar version.
