Tom LaPointe's Exotic Car Lifestyle Notebook

Ramblings on exotic cars, the car market, and things with wheels overall. We especially love Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche, and all the events where you find them.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Dunedin, Florida, United States

I currently publish iParent Magazine in the Tampa Bay area and work as a freelance writer for Affluent Page Index, in NYC. I grew up in Michigan near the Motor City and finished high school in Fernley NV. After attending the University of Nevada as a music major, I joined the Marine Corps as a combat correspondent. As a writer and editor, I won many publishing awards for photography, writing and editing. What led me to the auto industry is simply this: I love cars. I have raced stock cars and sports cars and competed in Land Rover off-road competitions in Vermont and Colorado. I have been a pit official for the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, and a pit crewman for Indy and a Hooters Pro Cup races. I've served as a manager of both sales and service for one the largest luxury car groups in the world. I'm still active as an off-road instructor for Land Rover and HUMMER dealers and owners. I enjoy crawling an off-road vehicle through the most severe obstacles as much as heel-toeing sports cars into hairpin turns! I am also a freelance writer for several automotive publications.

Jay Leno video with the new McLaren MP4-12C - he loves it!

Check out this great video from my friends at duPont Registry of Jay Leno touring the McLaren facility and seeing how the new MP4-12C. From the racing side to how the carbon fiber tub is created for left- or right-hand drive.

Jay says he loves the car and gives us a walkaround tour of it, and hints clearly that he wants to have the first one। This car is going to be a superstar। Look for upcoming articles in which I detail different aspects of a product and brand that is sure to be a celebrity must-have. Read about Jay Leno and other celebrities and their cars.
