25 November 2014 Deadmau5: Driving at 1,000 BPMWhat is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you in a car? You know Steven Tyler, he’s also a big car guy, and he bought a Hennessey Venom GT. He keeps it around the Sunset Strip area. So I was in LA staying at this hotel near there, and I met up with him for lunch, and we started talking music stuff and car stuff. And he says he has the Hennessey with him and asked if I want to go for a ride. Of course, I did. And? The Venom GT is a loud, really low car. We’re driving it down La Cienega by the Beverly Center, where there’s a hill. And it’s just a terrible intersection. It sucks. So we’re stuck in traffic there and he decides to do a U-turn, and the car stalls. And he can’t get it started again. It’s actually a real pain to start that car. You have to wait for the pneumatic shifter to charge and all of this. So the traffic lights start going green, and we’re in the middle of the intersection blocking traffic. And first, people start with the anger honk. Then, people start to notice that it’s Steven Tyler. Then everyone is hanging out of their cars taking pictures. And we’re totally exposed in that car—it’s just the roll bar, there’s no roof. I totally have my face down. Now I’m talking to the Hennessey guys, and they want me to be the first guy in Canada to have their new F5. I said, ‘If you put some chains on the tires, maybe’. www.bbc.com/autos/story/20141124-deadmau5-driving-at-1000-bpm

A loud and outlandishly expensive car that with all the modern technology is a pain in the ass to start??? I'll stick to Audi or a Mercedes!
