    The interior can be done in a very stunning fashion, however, most buyers have opted to keep the interior simple. Lambo offers some really nice contrasting color combos, and now a carbon fiber interior package. The CF looks amazing in that car.

    Thanks for the information. It' such a stunning design. I find it much more attractive than the Murci.

    Do you have any pics of more creative interiors on the G? Or do you know where I could find some?


    Many thanks,


    Cavallini

    I can vouch for Matt's Supra, for the nay-sayers. Plus there's a pic of him in the Gallardo.

    Forza,

    You gotta love this line of thinking...IMAGINE what they used to say about Danica Patrick when she was "younger"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand your point Robiferretti, but on the other hand, I think that no two young drivers (or old drivers for that matter) are the same. You never know what someone's history (with speed) is and in this case, he has not bothered to elaborate.

    A close friend of mine has a son that he literally raised go-carting, slowly moving him up "the ranks". The kid will never be another prodigy like Danica, but he can really roll. If you have a kid like that, who is also responsible, why would they be any worse off driving an exotic than someone twice their age with half the experience and a false belief because of their age/maturity that "they can handle it"???

    Once again, I understand your point, but there are exceptions!

    Cheers

    Congrats on the ride. Forget about what the others say. I know people your age who have had more expensive cars and I know a 17 year old race car driver who has been racing way before he had a license.

    What about all the 18 year old troops in Iraq? Are they too young to be responsible?

    Man...that rocks!! Congrats!! I got my first ride in a Murcielago a couple of weeks ago. Loved it. How do you like your CTS-V? I drove one at GM's Autoshow in Motion. I liked it a lot. Anyways....not trying to hijack the thread.

    Keep looking and lovin' 'em. You'll get one soon :)

    Saying "I got to drive it for about 10 minutes" and "his meeting which was 20 miles away" isn't exactly facts.... I live near Boston and I say its about 20 miles away. I've never measured it, so if someone told me it was actually 35 miles, or actually 17 miles, I would say "oh really? cool" and that would be that. I also say it takes about 15 minutes for me to get to work, but I noticed last week it actually takes me 23 minutes.

    Most people aren't exact in such statements, *especially* when they are talking about a car they just drove. The guy posted pics, why jump on his ass about some inane details that don't matter one bit? If he says it was closer to 17 miles and 14 minutes, with a blast to 140, would we then need to ask him about how many offramps and stoplights he had to pass to get to his destination, to ensure he isn't BSing us????

    Massive, massive overenthusiasm to shoot a hole in someones story.

    ^Wow. Congratulations dude. I wish I was lucky as you.

    I've never even sat in a Lambo or F-car....just had the meager joy of looking at them. :(

    maybe, but there are too many b*ll****ters on the internet so every now and then I feel the need to question someones story. ;)

    If they are telling the truth then they have no need to be worried, and I didn't criticise him personally - just asked a few questions out of curiosity ;)

    ^You're right dude. Too many of them. But look at it this wayL If a loser comes on here and talks about his five cars he owns (at age 18, mind you), including the makes of BMW, Cadillac, and a Corvette, and that his Dad buys them for him, and this guy doesn't really have all this....he's only fooling himself.

    Anyway, if Dadddy bought all those cars for him, he's needs to wake up. Even Donald Trump made his kids work for this things they have. I.'m just old fashioned like that, I guess. Instilling a bit of responsibility in kids..that's all. :)

    Well I appreciate everyone who has been not downing me.

    You are jumping to conclusions yet again. I did say he paid for them, but I never said I didn't work...And what gives you the right to say I have no responsibilities? You really know nothing about me! All I wanted to do was just post something about an amazing experience that I was so fortunate to have and yet it has to blow up in my face.

    Also, I am not your typical 18 yr old driver. I have been to road races at TWS in which I did have have a trainer with me, and I do have a lot more experience than a typical 18 yr old. There are also a lot more things I have done. And I have a 800+rwhp supra. I don't know of many 18 yr olds that can control that, now do you? But, I am done trying to explain myself.

    To those who do care, THANK YOU!

    Y'know, I hate this little rich kid types....they really get on my nerves. Why the heck does an 18 yr old need all the cars that has? Seems ridiculous to me.

    I am 20 years old, an a businessman myself, and I aspire to get a L-car/F-car one day for myself....but I wasn't raised where mommy and Daddy bought everything that popped in my little head.

    I have learned that I have to work hard and smart to get the things I desire. I am breaking the cycle of poverty that exists in my family generation..opening up my own office, building a business, and networking with professionals in the business world.

    I don't think this guy's Dad should have bough him those cars.....if he really has them.

    Don't explain yourself. Enjoy your stuff. It may be that there're a few solid contributors on here with some pretty serious machinery who might not have it were it not for their predecessor(s). No logical reason why you shouldn't be able to kick in your take on things w/out being glossed a daddy stocker - though going inventory on the internet's gonna invite a question or two, so none of this stuff should come as a grand surprise.

    Wow, you have a big ****ing mouth. Your opinion on what someone else deserves is unwarranted. If his parents can afford it, more power to him. You should be the last person talking (especially after your "introduction" to this site, most of what you say it probably BS anyways). You claim to have an office... Claiming you're a webdesigner with an HTML site a 6th grader wrote and sprinkled with copyrighted photos you stole is hardly working smart!!!

    Matt, Tennay is a SMART man. Do not explain yourself and ignore these idiots claiming you don't deserve this or didn't work from that. They are just jealous and happen to be the same reason I don't visit this site as much as I used to! All of us are not so fortunate - some choose to look negatively at that. For some reason ferrarichat attracts them.

    Once again, CDAllen, STFU!!!

    Like Brother Bruce told you, keep your trap shut and learn from your mistakes. You sound like you have some serious problems.

    weren't you the kid who apparently has some BS company in Texas?

    guys, chill out on questioning the stories. we're a small, crazy group of people who LOVE cars.....most of my car stories my "normal" friends can't even begin to fathom....don't ruin a forum where we can discuss these amazing experiences with those who can appreciate them

    ^Hey guys...Im really sorry about the "little rich kid" comments.I really am sorry for the awful stuff I said.

    I will not let this happen again...and I hope this doesn't retract anyone's memory of meeting me personally and being a nice guy.

    Sorry again...please forgive me. If there is anything I can do to make it ip to you, please let me know.

    If I had the money, I would give this guy a Lambo just to make it up to him. I really mean that!
