And Because We Like Cars

Whew! That’s gonna be a bill.
Broke down right off the dealership lot? Crazy, that’s worse than the hand built ones from the 70’s.

 

Might be an out for the van driver.

 

Still, possible the Lambo stopped suddenly with no brake lights. Lorry driver had no time to react or insufficient distance to brake.

Or the Lambo cut him off but stalled instead of accelerating. How many times have we seen 4 wheelers shoot the gap.

Hey, just to throw this out there, what if the new Lambo “broke” because the driver tried to floor it and instead activated some sort of power reducing stability control? Oh sorry mate, you’re not gonna be able to shoot that gap after all.

 

Lambos have become a status/gangsta/rapper car. Sure, they still go like hell, but most owners are about being seen along with their D&G clothing, Rolex, etc.

I recently went for a ride on a favorite twisty road and there was a Lamborghini club out for a drive as well... clogging up the road. #moremoneythanskill

I don't really like any of the Lamborghinis built in the last 30-ish years. I definitely like the early ones, some real ground-breaking and performance icons. Ironically, the bike brand I ride is owned by Lamborghini (via Audi, VW), but mine predates the great corporate takeover.

 

I’m gonna throw cold water over all this real quick:

Post a picture of a winning Lamborghini racing team,,,,

I’ll wait.

Yeah. Admittedly since they got some VW $ to play with they’ve actually competed in GT & Lemans a few times now, but they’re mid-pack at best. No stand outs. No Schumacher, Gurney, Fittapaldi. All it’s existence Lambo has been “the Italian sports car that’s not Ferrari”. They’ve been on posters since the 70’s, but why? They’re fast, but don’t win races. They’re expensive, but don’t hold value. (When compared to Ferrari & Porsche.)

Lambo has always been a sort of weird status car that happens to be fast.

As opposed to Aston Martin which makes fast cars for discerning clients that don’t stand out much but are stunningly beautiful. Also, they have room in the truck for the trophy’s they won.

(I should start another thread: if cars were women.)

Lambo: that insanely hot girl you picked up in the beach club at Ibiza in the day-glo bikini who sexed you until sunrise, but can’t cook, slept until 2, and can’t hold a conversation.

Corvette: that girl from the wrong side of town, who’s not overly attractive (but not bad either) who turns out is a champion horse rider, can weld steel, rebuild an edlebrock, has an old Mack V12 cabover her uncle owned she wants to rebuild, and belches when she drinks beer.
