A rich kid driving a McLaren was allegedly denied service at an In-N-Out Burger in California on Friday during Monterey Car Week, his brother has claimed.

Two brothers arrived at the Seaside branch on the Monterey Peninsula when one was allowed to enter the parking lot while the other — in the supercar — was turned away by security.

A video captured by one of the drivers and shared by KSBW shows a worker stationed at the entrance. “That’s profiling. That’s racism towards cars,” the driver said.

The man driving the McLaren, wearing a gray hoody, claimed the security guard told him that he couldn’t park in the lot because “I have a McLaren.”

The man filming could be heard in the video, saying, “This is crazy. There’s already security at In-N-Out. The party hasn’t even started for Car Week and there’s already security here?”

Moments later, he turns to the company’s sign and says, “For In-N-Out of Car Week 2026, they will not be letting any supercars in.

“They were gonna let me in because I don’t have a supercar but they weren’t gonna let my brother in because he’s in a McLaren.”

The exact reason the McLaren was turned away remains unclear, as does whether the security guard was acting on a specific In-N-Out policy.

The brothers went on to capture several trucks just outside the burger joint, making loud noises with their vehicles, claiming that “the actual idiots are in the trucks.” They also captured a handful of sports cars parked inside the parking lot of the In-N-Out.

The incident occurred amid heightened security and traffic-control measures by local businesses and law enforcement across the Monterey Peninsula for Car Week 2026.

This comes after Car Week 2025 when the In-N-Out Burger location in Seaside became an unofficial, late-night impromptu meetup spot for supercar owners and car enthusiasts.

Hundreds of people and cars swarmed the parking lot for an illegal street takeover as car owners showed off their luxury and exotic vehicles.
