Sunday, February 25, 2007 - Shiny Black |
|
|
|
Ah, shiny black cars parked down on Melrose Avenue on a Sunday afternoon, owned by young men in their early twenties. These hollow-eyed fellows with shaved heads were covered in tattoos and sporting large diamond earrings - and they weren't too happy having anyone photograph their rides. Angry words were exchanged, and vows of some sort of retribution made - in quite questionable grammar, but clear enough. How they came by the funds for such vehicles is a mystery, or not. There are many ways for anyone to become amazingly wealthy in Los Angeles. The Maserati Quattroporte in context - |

Interestingly, an armored Quattroporte was donated to the President of Italy in 2004 in a special tone of blue - intended to recall the color of the Maserati Quattroporte the then President of the Italian Republic, Sandro Pertini, used as his official state car during his presidency in the mid-1980s - and a Maserati Quattroporte of the same color was purchased in 2005 by the Embassy of Italy to the United States for the official transportation of the Italian Ambassador. Out here they serve a different purpose. Something also shiny and black, just across the street - |
