Supercar driver barred from In-N-Out parking lot during Monterey Car Week
A man in a McLaren was denied entry to the Seaside In-N-Out parking area, prompting a filmed protest by him and his brother.
During Car Week 2026, two brothers pulled up to the Seaside In-N-Out on the Monterey Peninsula, where one was allowed into the lot and the other, driving a McLaren, was turned away by a security guard. The guard reportedly told the driver that his supercar could not be parked there, leading the driver to film the incident and claim the action was discriminatory toward high-performance vehicles. He criticized the presence of security before the event had even begun and suggested that the restaurant was banning supercars while allowing other sports cars inside.
The brothers then made noise with trucks outside, calling the parked drivers "idiots." The precise policy guiding the guard’s decision was not disclosed, and the incident occurred amid broader traffic-control measures for the week’s events.
Why it matters
It highlights how heightened security during major events can lead to disputes over vehicle access and perceived discrimination.
