      Now, I'm no expert - hardly even a 'car guy', but if I was buying a vehicle expensive as a McLaren, I would hope there's some proprietary device in the key to keep some dummy from only having to call a locksmith to jack my 10m+ car. The trade-off being that McLaren will make that key very hard to obtain.

      That was a funny line, but on the topic;
      I personally don't think he'd have any issue with the Cartel when it comes to buying the car. Yeah you can't be stupid, you have to know how to move around them, but the cartel isn't usually an issue. Usually these areas are dangerous due to gangs (not usually related to cartels, which the cartels will go after).
      Chances are, he would get robbed by some gang and killed prior to ever getting to the cartel.
      While cartels CAN be dangerous and do go to war, you do have to understand that they own allot of the tourism businesses in Mexico, among many other regular businesses. Its not in their best interest to terrify people from going to Mexico. Plus, believe it or not, the Cartel does allot of its own policing among other things, they actually handle things as if they were leaders of a territory, not just a gang. They are respected businessmen and handle the situations as such. Allot of people view cartels as a problem, but allot also view cartels as their savior. If it wasn't from cartels, there may be no order or balance, or an economy at that.
      Cartels aren't savages. I'm sure if ed showed up and spoke with a respected higher-up at the cartel (Which I assume would be someone who would own the F1). I don't see him having an issue figuring out a transaction and leaving unharmed.
      Though, I doubt the cartel takes financing.

It was very distinctive with the gold rims and that odd color of brown. Of course Beltran was arrested again here in San Miguel several years later. Having lived in San Miguel since 2005 it is very normal to see rare cars in town.

    In the UK, when a car goes through an MOT(yearly test), they check the VIN, so i think this yellow car(P440CPJ) really is the #39
    What could have happened is that #39 was brought back to the UK in 2005 and the P440CPJ plate transferred(legally) back to it. Then it was painted to be a "replica" of the Harrods car #06R, which could be stored safely, being worth as much as 3 times the value of #06R

I was stuck in traffic on a paralleI lane when they slowly passed me on the left). I assume they belong to the same owner, seeing they were together on 2 flatbed trucks.

    Robachivas was riding around in his armored car when a hitman shot at him and Robachivas stopped and was laughing at the hitman but one of the bullets went through the key hole of the car and killed him 🤣

    Yoooooooooo, I went Los Mochis Sinaloa in 2013 to a couple festivals they had and through some friends of cousins I have out there ended up at a huge party at some ranch. Instantly knew it had to be someone from the cartel because of the magnitude of the party. They even had a couple famous Mexican artist performing there. Turns out it’s one of the higher ranks from the cartel de Sinaloa. And they had a car covered in one of the garages with the body of that mclaren. And it had those exact gold wheels. Didn’t see the car itself since it was covered but I do recognize those wheels. I’m willing to bet anything that that’s the damn car. All I was told was that I was an expensive car that el chapo owned which was passed down to a son which was then sold to the guy in the cartel. It has to be that car

    The owner of the Mclaren is somewhere, in a dark basement, looking at the car, sipping on some whiskey while watching this video.
