Looks great! Funny to see how low that car is. The garage interior photo with Urus and door show the scale and proportion.

tell me about it.....I knew him when he a little paint ball store and selling school supplies on the side.

He left $15M in the business and took a check for $72M for the rest of it....

Happy for him, but man I am a wee bit jealous

It’s growing on me but I kinda hate the screens and would rather have an SVJ/Ultimae for the same money. That brown interior is not what I’d go with on any Lambo, but that’s just me.

Pass. Mediocre car, mediocre spec, nice house though. Good for your buddy.

As long as it's what he likes.

Mediocre 1001 hp car that goes 0-60 in 2.3 seconds with an exposed v12 ...

I don't like the coffee interior personally, but I love the white with carbon

He says it embarrasses his other fun car.... Mac 765LT Spider

Right place right time.....took advantage of a situation when his supplier tried to rip him off, so he became his own supplier....the rest is history

I am always torn with Lambo, I mean if i had the money. I do appreciate how wild they look but they are so damn big. NA V12 would have to be the way to go though if one was to buy one surely?

I gotta say, I actually prefer the look of the McLaren.

Oh and nothing wrong with being a bit jealous, we all get that way but then I remember some people cannot feed themselves and shut myself down.

Same.

Good for him and his hard work reward.
But imo, that is a hot mess. Can't unsee C8ness.
Different strokes.

Lambo was easily one of my favorite car companies growing up. Having said that, the new ones don't do much for me. I'd so much rather take a Diablo SV (in yellow please!) over any of these new Audi era ones. Not that I'll be in that position to do so
