That's why I love Ferraris.
To be fair there are more and more Lambos being tracked but there is no way Gary Blinger Sheffield will ever track it.

I wish Lambo would put some corporate effort behind racing. Both the Murci and Gallardo are terrific cars. Until then they will always be behind Ferrari in my eyes.

Chrome is not a factory option, the spoke portion of the wheels look like LP640 stock but I don't recall the factory wheels having the bolts around the edge, so I'm not sure if those are stock or if I just never noticed since they're normally dark in color and wouldn't stand out.

If you drive with the top mounted, it's like you have to run with your pants down.
Not just recommended, the roadster top is not rated for more than 100 mph, it's really only there to put on in weather emergencies, although you better have one slow f'ing emergency since the stupid design of the top requires about 10 minutes to put it on correctly. Most Lambo owners call it the toupee top since it's ugly as hell. LOL

It's just a car for showing off how much money you've got and making people turn their heads to look at you.

Plus, I wouldn't want the kind of gold-diggers a car like that attracts so there goes the pussy magnet aspect out the window. I'm rather anti-skank.
Only thing impractical about it is it being a roadster and this being Florida where rain can come out of nowhere.

I drive mine all the time and park it in public all the time. The only thing you really have to worry about with a car like that, which mine doesn't have, is a clear engine bonnet. Exotic cars with clear bonnets attract people to lean over the back of the car and next thing you know someone's belt buckle drags across your rear quarter panel.

They're not stock wheels, it's a somewhat similar design as the stock wheels but they're not stock...

Your car looks better.
But....... I don't think I would say no to driving around the LP640 in the OP... lol

It's clean right now too, which is rare for my car. Was out at Channelside and Hard Rock Saturday night, no problems to report.

I didn't get there until about 3:30 AM so your parents must be party animals.
