Default My New Ride(pics)
What a way to start the day! Bright and early this morning the truck and trailer pulled up with my new Gallardo.
I'd like to publicly thank Steve Jones at http://www.sportauto.cc/index.html
for making the trade-in of my turbo and the purchase of the Lambo one of the most enjoyable car buys I've ever had.

That's awesome.

How does it drive? Are you completely happy with the car.

How's the maintainence cost on one of those babies?

So far,it's everything I had hoped for.It's only got 300 miles on it so I didn't take it up to redline yet.But it's fast and it sounds amazing.The handling is very precise and solid.I was doing 3 figures and it seemed like about 50.
According to many of the owners I talked to,maintenance is on par with the turbo.

a lambo? what? are you kidding me dude. that's a lamborghini for god's sake! are you sure? a lambo? what the hell is going on around here? a YELLOW lamborghini! i don't understand...a 911 was one thing. a turbo is another. but both of those cars are somewhere within the startosphere. a gallardo? something is very different. if this isn't a joke- then i might need to be considering what has happened here. the next level has just been introduced. we're all here comparing floor mats and wondering why our steering wheels shimmy at 50mph- and oh- where's the cheapest place to buy a bottle of mobil 1...and you- you pull the curtain on a yellow lambo?

so...when is the first track day?
