    Do you live right along there? It is fun to let it scream I'll admit.

    .

    do you have a lambo G?

    the stock exhaust sounds fabulous.. so much so, i looked to see if the exhaust was an aftermarket.

    i luv driving under bridges and and along walls because it creates a wonderful echo..

    the canyons of the city and LSD are SO much fun as well.


    there aren't many things better than a high performance engine breathing as it was designed.

    That's embarrassing. I think it's interesting how non-car people always assume Ferraris are 3x as expensive as they really are, but then underestimate the price of Veyrons (they kept saying it was a "million dollar car", I also heard that when there was a Veyron on one of our cruises in Indianapolis)

    Some Veyron's ARE under a mil. $1mm could be an overestimation.

    It might not have been a test drive.. Could've just been a porter.

    It was a test drive customer bought the car porters arent as stupid as the customers buying. The car damage was nothing more than a rub and came off with a little wax. I like how people always jump to conclusions also anyone that has driven a Veyron knows that the car has some serious blind spots and is not the easiest car to drive let alone how nervous you are.

    Err.. there are plenty of porters who f around with cars.. I remember back in high school doing 100+ in Porsche's, Benz's, etc.. with a couple porters I knew. I'm sure that hasn't changed. Nonetheless it wasn't a conclusion, just an alternate theory. Kudos to the guy that bought it. (Also I'm aware of the blind spots, that's what the backup camera is for :) )

    Cheating, yes, as these are from Ft. Lauderdale!
    Not pictured is the 1976 LP400 from Motorcar Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale... red, brown. I was told it is the "most photographed car in the world". Apparently the first countach in the western hemisphere. Was on the cover of all the car mags, the original Lambo poster car. Very cool, and unfortunately going to Mexico

    the odd colored 430, boxer were at F of Fort Lauderdale

    (yes, a real Statos, and an M1 - one of 2 they had at Motorcar Gallery!)

    Thanks for sharing. Love'em all. Particularly the Stratos. And that Jalpa wing, to die for!

    PS: I thought the most fotographed car was Tony Tiger's 360. Or was the most photographed chest? I'm confused. :)

    I think the weird colored 430 is a Hamann edition...
