BUDGET CAR RENTAL SUPPLIER ARGUS CAR HIRE: CRUISING LOS ANGELES IN A BLUE CONVERTIBLE! FUNNY NEW VIDEO.
Introducing our lovely new friend: Argus Car Hire! The Ireland-based supplier let Japanese celeb Sebastiano Serafini and me play with a Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible during our Hollywood Invasion. A dream vehicle for cruising around LA… and the blue color even matches Seba’s (un-Photoshopped!) eyes.
Unlike your typical rental car company, Argus has incredible customer service — there’s always someone with a friendly Irish accent to help you, at any hour. The website is easy to navigate, and works with over 550 suppliers worldwide — such as Alamo, Enterprise, National and Thrifty. Meaning that wherever you are, you’ll be sure to get a sweet car to fit your budget!
In our new video, you can see the fun we had riding in the convertible. Sebastiano fills the gas for the first time (with some difficulty). He answers questions about why he became a model, and what’s his ethnic background. (Maybe…)
We wound up in silly situations, such as driving on the highway with the top down. Come see the action in the new video on YouTube and above. Be sure to watch the art film at the end!
Leopard print clothes and Seba’s necklace: gifted from Like Atmosphere (He models for them)
Carmina’s Swarovski pearl imitation necklace: gifted from Grotan (Japanese designer — buy it here)
Carmina’s black necklace: gifted from RJ 1959 (Seba’s their model)
Cut-out boots: on sale at Marui One Shinjuku (these got a lot of attention in LA)
The next time you’re travelling and need a rental vehicle, give Argus Car Hire a looky-loo — they’ll hook you up with real-time access to the world’s cheapest all inclusive deals. We encourage you to add our lovely new friends on Facebook and Twitter.

I love that color too! We had a bit too much fun ahah
I already saw that you had a lot of fun XDDD the art film is lovely even without the music ^_^ (I already read about it in a post)
hehe :) I can’t wait to edit the rest of the videos!
I have a weakness for guys with cute Engrish *Flails over Sebastiano’s Engrish*
:O that is a pretty car~
watching this vid just reminded me how much I want summer to be here….. It’s freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing cold here ='(. That car is absolutely adorable XP. Sweet boots btw Carmina, and Seba stop stealing her clothes!!! =D
How the fuck can you ask if this guy is Japanese? He looks 100% White.. You people.. ==
He’s not, though…
What the fuck is he then?
*headdesk*
Who cares what he is??
they taste like.. pork? O_O
i had fun watching your video. hehehe
did sebastiano really eat dogs?O_O
omg dog!! ewww
Sebastiano’s voice is soo sexy <3
and carmina is so cute perfect couple ^_^
yahhh so cute
Meow he is cute! Something about that guy is extremely likable. Those cut out shoes are jack worthy.
you guys are the cutest. love.
Yup! Isn’t it funny that people are talking about if Sebastiano is gay or bi or what? Arent they a couple, with the shared hotel room and all?
he’s a half and half ( halfling?) part japanese and part Italian
?/? haha
?/? haha
The both of you are so adorable!! XD _> those people were so slow…
Oh yea I had no idea Seba was half Japanese… right? Keke he’s so cute either way lol
Yeahhh I’ve had horrible lineups at rental car places in the past.. >_<
Would have been funny if the art film had silent film music playing. XD
Ah, I can’t put music in my videos for copyright reasons (as a YouTube partner, I can’t revenue-share if there’s anything I don’t own in there)
Crazy people XD
You bet!
oh he is to adorable who cares?
Sebastiano is Sebastianese- he is himself and (hopefully) doing his own thing to make himself happy and satisfied in life. The way I see it, it’s sorta like Mana: is Mana hetero or not? Does it make a difference if you’re not in a relationship with him?
I 100% agree with you. He’s a great model so I think it doesn’t matter if he’s Japanese or not. I can’t understand why people react like that.
How can someone think that guy is japanese!
Awww!! Seeing the video made me miss my friends in Italy! You two are too funny. Glad you had fun!
We may have adventures in Italy soon… ooohh stay tuned!!
Lol what an adventure. “Iku iku” hahahahahaha. And repeat: *Serafini w/ ta ta ta ta* lol.
When I used to go on vacations with my parents, they always got a rental car. Or at least 9/10 times. Of course, we didn’t get a convertible…we always got sedans and occasionally SUVs.
I remember having a bad experience in Hawaii. We just landed, and we had to pick a rental car. My dad ended up picking the first car in a ROW of cars he could choose from. I kind of wondered why.
The key thing to remember was that the cars weren’t under a big lamp light or anything. So that night when we left and went to the hotel, we noticed a big huge bump on the side of the car.
We figured the people at the rental place already knew about it.
But no, 5 days later (when we were heading out for another island)…the people were basically planning to penalize us for “damaging” the car. But then we only questioned about what the guy who always inspects the car, before we leave the car rental place actually “inspected.” Couldn’t he see that the car was damaged before we left?
Their answer: “Oh no he was just checking if the car was driveable.” I swear at 15 years old I GOT SO F***ING PISSED OFF! In the end, we didn’t pay for the damage, because something happened (I’m not sure what, but possibly my dad wrote an angry letter)
But I’ll be sure to check this rental service out! If I ever do go on vacation again…but with what’s going on in college it doesn’t seem likely…
hahahaha you’re the first one to comment on the Iku Iku! I guess not everyone gets that ;)
Augh, what a nightmare! Car suppliers have a reputation for shadiness… >_<
A person can learn a whole lot by watching half of Miike’s filmography lol…
haha so true… Ichi the Killer!!
Woa I love that car!!! *___*<3<3<3
Your videos are hilariously yummy and as intended-very cute! Thanks for sharing!
Hahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahha …. Hahahahahha …. Hahahahahha hohohohoohoo hehehehhe that was funny looool xD Tah Tah Tah
Bwaaah~ you guys would seem like so much fun to hang out with!! xD
Whats Japan like? Oh and J-rock concerts, what are they like, too? o:
i donmt understand how hes a model if he covershis face beneath allthe hair. he needs to part it away from his eyes so we can clearly see a face. he looks 100 perecent italian to me. italians dont all generally look white. there are darkm skinned euros out there
The debate continues… :)
You two are so cute!
Meow!! :)
I want the kitty shirt! <3
That’s MY cat sweater… he stole it ;__;
More pics of the sweater here http://lacarmina.com/2010/11/harajuku-punk-leopard-fashion-listen-flavor-cat-sweater-animal-print-leggings-big-eyes-japanese-makeup-techniques/
lol stealing your clothes :P
Aww! Well both of you look cute in it :3
i love his boots 0.0
The boots are from Marui (Japanese department store)
I don’t give a high falutin’ hoot about his ethnicity–my gods, that man makes me tremble inside! I haven’t gotten this goofy over a guy since seeing Orlando Bloom as Legolas. I’m hopeless.
Awwww!! :) You’re the cutest!! Many more pics coming up heheh
Ottimo!! Che bell’avventura!!
I learned a few Italian words… like Boh! and Ehyyy! and Peh! (ok not really…)
I still use Boh even when speaking English!
The first words I was taught were, “Sei la mia troia preferita!” while in a dance club yeeears ago. I was told to say it to another friend as a prank, so needless to say he was shocked. Ha ha. Do not say it to someone unless they know it’s just a joke!!
ahah I should say that to… somebody.. .while wielding the whip ;)
I can’t ride a car T_T lessons an exams are expensive in The Netherlands… There might be a possibility to get a licence in the US at the end of the year, but I’m not sure it’s really possible yet. So I need to sort that out.
OMG I can’t believe my mom just drank most of the wine here… (sorry I’m a bit drunk now… please excuse me :0 )
So, I’m dying to know.. Is Seba gay or bisexual? I’m not really sure, because my gaydar says bisexual but the context in your posts says he’s gay and/or occupied. I’d really like to know..
Contradictions move me. But in reality: I want to know the truth. And THAT is the contradiction I am…
There’s no way in hell he’s straight, right? ;) ;)
I never even think of these things :] I’m convinced that everyone would be much happier if they worried less about arbitrary labels, but it’s cute that people are concerned–they must want Sebatiano all to themselves! Obviously all this controversy is because everyone wants a piece of him. And why not, he’s adorable? And so are you! <3

i love how his hair is like perfectly tosseled
You know he belongs to us because we (Italians) are just too cool. LOL X°D
>:)
many more photos and videos coming up!
Hahahahahaha “IKUIKU!”
I don’t know why it isn’t obvious to people out there. Sebastiano is obviously from a nomadic Mongolian tribe. In fact, doesn’t his name means ‘He Who Herd Horses along MooCows Pastures and Leave People Confuse by His Sexuality’? I thought I might put it out there because it seems life-and-death to some people to know the irrelevant details of his person. I apologize for breaking the code of silence.
Moving on, you two are dorks, haha. But er, what happens when you try to put your luggage in the boot? Maybe I missed the explanation…
Epic comment!! I don’t know why my comment filter held it up. (Too much awesome? haha)
Yes, we are very cool. The luggage thing… we couldn’t fit everything into the trunk so we put it in the back, and then thought we lost a few pieces…
guys really? who gives a …well, an anything, if Seba’s gay? Or bi? Or tri? lol he’s a pretty man either way. you CAN think gay guys are hot you know. there’s nothing wrong with it.
