Eh... that Lambo's lip, side cowl cover, spoiler, and rims are rice

With that kind of money, you'd expect them to have some taste. But I guess people like the Unique Auto/Pimp My Ride look.

There is guy at my work who drives a grey Ferrari F430 and another guy who drives a dark grey Aston Martin Vantage. They both drive their cars to work! They both park at the 2nd floor parkade. When I get out of my car, I'll usually hear a very distinctive roar and I'll know right away that it's the Ferrari guy entering the parkade. No one drives a Lambo at my work but once in a while, I'll see one on the residential streets going at insane speeds - freaks the crap outta me! I swear there was one Lambo who did over 130 MPH in a 30 mile zone. I almost had a heart attack when it passed my car!

I'm sure some people who drive these very high end sports cars can't really afford it. They usually have very big egos, self-esteem problems, other issues that they think a Lambo would solve in their life. A billionaire semi-celeb gentleman showed up at my work and I was kinda surprised that he showed up with an ordinary domestic luxury car.

People don't buy supercars -> They lease them. So 3k a month to get laid every weekend + have an ego boost + ride around in a hot car is worth it to some douchebags

Ahh.. I saw a lambo earlier today and couldn't get a decent pic of it for the life of me. The thing is this, I have no idea what kind of lambo it was. It looked like a gallardo, but it had HUGE air intake scoops on both sides of the car. It wasn't modded, it still had paper tags, and it had dual center exit exhaust, unlike the exhaust setup (dual infused to single exhaust, center exit) that the new gallardo's and murcieliago's have. I thought at first it was an lp640, after spraying my steering wheel with baby batter for 20 minutes I came to the conclusion that it wasn't that at all.

I'm so lost.

To boot, the best pic that I could get.. about 6 seconds later he was doing somewhere close to 120mph



One more thing to add.. this was in the ghetto of Dallas, Tx. This neighborhood was single-handedly blamed for Dallas' outrageous crime rate in the past few years that made it the highest crime city in America.

Maybe Marc or KingMarine can step up and help me figure this one out. You can faintly see the intakes up and behind the door that I haven't seen on the new lambo's.

On Friday afternoon there was a neon green lambo trying to parallel park outside of the Carter Honda dealer here in Vancouver. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me.

Looked like this one.

That's a plain-jane Lamborghini Murcielago.
