How do you like the Lamborghini?
It's pretty fun. It's got a hell of a lot of grunt, but not an excessive amount of grunt. It handles well, considering 3/4 of the body structure is missing (it's a convertible, and the roof/sides are major structural components - and the sides don't tie into the roof). It's still fairly stiff but it dives into corners just fine and holds the road well.
It's dated and old, and the electronics show that. The tires on it could be replaced and I'll probably have them replaced when I send it back to the barn. It's a bit louder than I'd expect for a grand touring convertible, it's not really a track car. Even for an old Lamborghini, it stands out. People notice that it's something special and try to get a look at it. Then they want pictures, which is a bit invasive when you've got the top down.
Fortunately, it's a car that people look at. If I drive some cars, people are more interested in who is driving. Other cars, it's the car itself that's at the center of attention. Like, if I drive my G Wagon people are curious about who is inside, and they'll try to pull alongside so that they can look in the windows. But, if I'm driving a loud Ferrari people are more interested in the car.
Cool. It sounds awesome. If I see a really cool car I like to take a closer look if I can
I don't mind. Just don't tailgate me or pull alongside on a two lane highway. Also, don't drive really close to me when you do pull alongside, don't dive in front of me, and don't try to race me. I'm not going to race your Honda Civic on the street. I value my license and the lives of other people more than my ego. My ego just isn't that frail.
Now, if you want to meet at the track and put some money on a race...
