Thanks, you just reminded me I need to get in my lotto picks for tonight ....

[truthandjustice1]

I'll take my 2001 Triple Black Corvette just the same. It's a quarter of the price and, at 060 in 4.7 seconds, a good, fast ride.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Witness the Murciélago, a handsomely chiseled hunk that can exert a 580-horsepower measure of authority to muscle its way past 200 miles an hour.

What a name!

"The Murciélago sticks to the road like mucilage!"

?

[dagnabbit]

View to the rear is hindered by the small back window, making lane changes an act of faith.

Like someone is going to be keeping up with you

What's the movie where the guy rips the rear-view mirror out of his car, and exclaims "What's behind me is not important!"

[RightWhale]

The roads are wet ice. How does the wondercar do?

[ekyjim]

That would be "The Gumball Rally"

[Archangelsk]

The roads are wet ice. How does the wondercar do?

Considering the price tag, the wondercar stays in the heated garage and the owner takes the Audi A8 to work.

[FreedomPoster]

Correct! And the A8 has the winter wheels with the Blizzaks on it.

[Archangelsk]

Goes without saying. :-)

[FreedomPoster]

Mine, last Spring.

Love the new ones. Saving my pennies for the new-style S8. ;-)

[Hot Tabasco]

No one doubts that Lamborghini, based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, can craft strikingly bold machines that simultaneously stop traffic and deliver phenomenal performance

I do! I'll challenge this piece of Euro-trash to a winner take all race from my house to work (approx. 16 miles) in 6 inches of new snow and bumper to bumper traffic any day any time.......

The Euro-junk won't have to worry about stopping traffic, it will already be stopped....

[Archangelsk]

You're under the assumption that the owner of such a car 'commutes' with his underlings. How droll. /class warfare wit off

[tet68]

Only folks who can afford to support two Italian Mechanics full time can drive this car everyday.

Hell, the people who drive these live in their own countries and drive on roads they own themselves.

[Merdoug]

I'd rather have one of these:

[Mr. Mojo]

Here's my favorite Lamborgini, the P400 Miura S/V (from the early 70's).

[Mr. Mojo]

Lamborgini = Lamborghini

[dogbyte12]

Does it have drink cup holders though?

[longtermmemmory]

cars are like women, they need curves.
