Very nice! Which color are you thinking about buying?

I'll say this, I'm a Porsche guy because I'm not a modern lambo or Ferrari guy. Sure the engine sounds are intoxicating but a TTS flat 6 isn't exactly a Prius in any regard.

I prefer to arrive in a low(er) key manner

The one they have in stock is white huracan with titanium wheel and green calipers. The only downside is its rotors (fronts are aluminum cast, backs are steel). I really wanted the ceramic (CCB).

Congrats, with just 2 sentences, you successfully made yourself look like a dork LOL

And sorry dewinator, I don't talk to non-paid member with attitude, especially nobody elected you to represent the whole rennlister. People here know about cars and seems to be less prejudice about other brands, which is why I still hang around here for almost 10 years now.

I have an idea. Don't click the thread.

I've quite enjoyed the discussion and clearly many others have as well.

Haters gonna hate!

Love these first world problems threads! They are inspiring, actually. I would be hard pressed to pass on 458 ferrari. It is just gorgeous and for that money I wouldn't mind the attention from an exotic.

How come when you post on the Turbo forum, you own a couple Ferraris as well, but on here if you buy a Lambo, you have to give up the 991 because of yearly inspection costs?

Because F cars are collectable & hold their value well vs taxes unlike my C2? Like I said I don't talk to non-paid member with attitude

Ignore him. Some people can't fathom that you're considering another brand. I went through the same thing @ Audi forum when I was switching to BMW. But people are much better here than over at Audizine. It's a cult over there.

Nah, I don't care about them at all. I think it's just pure jealousy from human nature hiding behind Internet and I don't blame them for that. People aren't perfect.

Anyway, just a few things to tidy up now, will take a trip to the dealer again sometimes this week to take some pics of the new car. Once it's in my garage (prob takes 2-3 weeks for prep & reg), I'll put up some more photos.

Couldn't have done this without you guys, I truly appreciate your thoughts. If I don't like the lambo eventually, I can always trade it for tts and returns to the community.

On public roads, sadly nope without risking of chopping someone or going over the cliff...But, that is what so good about the car, it sounds awesome even at slow speed. I am thinking to take it to fuji speedway or suzuka circuit for some drifting once I have done the breakin period.
