2012 Lexus LFA Road Trip: The Gun Store

By Josh Jacquot | April 13, 2011

In Vegas with an LFA, it doesn't take a long to degenerate to the basics: Fast cars, red meat and, well,...

The billboards for this place are every ten miles between LA and Vegas. They all have a picture of an automatic rifle and say "try one." We did. Sprayed lead everywhere. Even hit the zombie a few times.

Ben Stuart from The Gun Store likes the LFA. We don't blame him.

Back into the car now.

Should've brought some Stig posters along. That would've been great target practice.

Some say the Stig is too fast to be shot. Others say he is simply unaffected by mere ballistics. The only thing we know is that he doesn't drive for use anymore.

According to the US special, cardboard cutouts of him can be shot...especially in a drive-by!

You guys are definitely the only LFA drivers who will ever stop off at a gun store to fire some rounds.

This post will go over great with all the NASCAR fans who like the LFA.........oh wait!

You think firing off a few rounds is fun? You ought to take a road trip Knob Creek Gun Range for one of their Machine Gun Shoots; it's only about 45 minutes from my house: http://www.knobcreekgunsales.com/events/featured-events/machine-gun-shoot

I'm pretty sure the guys at the Gun Store would've happily taken you to a barren stretch of desert where you could've fired various high powered guns from the LFA while driving. Now *that* is a road test.

Badass cars and automatic rifles. I'm sure the past few days have been a highlight of your careers gentlemen.
