Rich Kid in McLaren Denied Entry at Monterey In-N-Out

An exotic car driver was allegedly denied entry to a Seaside In-N-Out Burger parking lot during Monterey Car Week, according to a video captured by the driver’s brother, Fernando Barragan, and reported by KSBW. The Friday night incident unfolded on the Monterey Peninsula as local businesses and law enforcement maintained heightened security and traffic-control measures.

McLaren Driver Turned Away at Seaside Branch

Two brothers arrived at the Seaside In-N-Out branch on Friday when security at the entrance turned away the driver of a McLaren supercar, according to Fernando Barragan’s account. The driver, wearing a gray hoodie, claimed the security guard told him he could not park in the lot because “I have a McLaren,” as captured in the video footage. The man filming the interaction remarked, “That’s profiling. That’s racism towards cars.” The exact reason for the vehicle’s exclusion remains unclear, and it has not been confirmed whether the security guard acted under a specific In-N-Out corporate policy. Meanwhile, other sports cars were captured parked inside the same lot.

Monterey Car Week Security and Past Street Takeovers

The parking lot dispute occurred against a backdrop of strict traffic management across the Monterey Peninsula during Car Week. During the previous year’s event, the Seaside In-N-Out location drew hundreds of people and vehicles, turning the parking lot into an impromptu, late-night meetup spot for an illegal street takeover where owners showcased luxury and exotic vehicles. In response to the previous year’s crowds, heightened security was deployed to the fast-food chain’s entrance on Friday night. After being denied entry, the brothers filmed several trucks outside the restaurant making loud noises with their vehicles, asserting that “the actual idiots are in the trucks.” The California Post reached out to In-N-Out for comment regarding the security measures.
