So, yesterday I was goofing off, taking the long, scenic route back from our ancestral home (a few miles south of the LA airport) and I stopped at a cliff-top park overlooking the ocean in Rancho Palos Verdes.
As I walked back to my car from the lookout I saw a rather peculiar looking car doing a u-turn in the parking lot. It was completely covered in a patterned wrap. The pattern was little white swirls on a flat black background. It had no badging and the wrap covered all of the body panels but not the glass. The car looked to be a 2+2 coupe, about the size of the Jag XK I was sitting behind in traffic a little earlier.
My first thought was "some dude thought it would be funny to wrap his car to look like anti-paparazzi camo." (How and why automakers work hard to camouflage their cars)
Then, as I walked up to my car, a transit passenger van pulled into the space next to it and a bunch of Asian dudes in office-casual attire spilled out. They all walked toward the mystery car, which was now parked nose-to-tail between a Porsche 911 and a BMW 6 series, the occupants of which were all congregated around them having a discussion.
All the vehicles had Michigan plates.
I can't say for sure what the mystery car was. But seeing as how we were around the corner and up the hill from Toyota's US HQ complex....
