  1. Yeah man they hide in some pretty bizarre places too! There is like an inlet type deal in a wall that was I suppose was probably was going to be another housing development right down the road from my house. Thankfully I was doing the speed limit that day but it perfectly hid an SUV just sitting there with a radar.
  2. So to keep the post relatively short the TLDR of this is that apparently being in rural KS with a Murci get quite a bit of attention from the wrong places. Here is the link to the article:Rural Police Get Curious About A Murci
  3. Thanks for all of the well wishes! I am still in disbelief that this is all possible. That is correct it is Phuc's old car from West Palm Beach. At first I wasn't sure about having the wheels two different colors but upon seeing it in person it's actually pretty damn cool in my opinion. For the time being I am going to leave it as it is until I decide otherwise. I'm more interested in just enjoying the car more than anything. He brought up an interesting point when he said "Have you seen both sides of your car at the same time?". The car is in absolutely incredible shape and you could tell that he really loved this car. Great seller and all around fantastic person to work with.
  4. Hello everyone this is my first post on this forum so I apologize for any errors and so on but simply put......I'm a new owner! I was previously the owner of a few different Nissan GTR's and I have to admit it was very difficult for me to find a platform that just speaks to me the way the GTR did. I had seen people go from the GTR to the Audi R8 for years only to come back to the GTR a year later with disappointment. The challenge was finding a vehicle that performance wise, was in a similar class as the GTR (very hard to do and certainly not in the same price point) while looking absolutely insane. I did a lot of soul searching and looked at other manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Porsche, and Ferrari before arriving at the conclusion that nothing other than a Lamborghini would suffice. The next task at hand was figuring out WHICH ONE, the Gallardo seemed to be the logical choice due to the initial entry point at the prices that we are seeing today for a manual, however, I have a few friends that already currently own Gallardo's in town including a UR Superleggera which is reportedly 1 of 10 in that color in the US. I knew that if I was going to do this that it NEEDED to be something outlandish, something rare that hasn't been seen often in this town. I started doing a bit more digging and stumbled upon the Murcielago which at first seemed as if was something that would have been a pipe dream when I was growing up and instantly it clicked in my head that I HAD to have one. Now, I know what you may be thinking, that "this guy is nuts" but I purchased my first GTR sight unseen using a satellite phone in Afghanistan on deployment to wire money etc and arrange a flight from Hawaii to pick it up upon my safe return home and I loved every bit of that car to the very last day of ownership. I was not aware of how difficult it would be in order to purchase such a vehicle and all of the necessary steps to properly do so outside of just handing over a bag full of cash without any thought of what you're getting into. Lamborghini of Palm Beach's service manager, Chris, was awesome in helping out with the inspection and giving me insight to tendencies and service history of Murci's in general. That ultimately made the dream REAL and I decided to pull the trigger. The Murci has not disappointed in any way, shape or form. It is everything that I had hoped it would be and then some. I love the quirks of the car and find myself exploring and learning new things about it every week. It is the iconic V12 Lamborghini that I had hope for and man is it the equivalent of a UFO siting while driving in Wichita, KS of all places. I can't think of a time where I have driven it so far that the windows have been up because the sound is just absolutely incredible. It amazes me how planted the car is even at speeds that I won't mention in a public setting. It's hard not to put a huge smile on your face when you park somewhere and lift the door up. It has that "wow factor" that in my opinion just can't be found anywhere else. I haven't owned the vehicle very long but can say without a doubt that I don't imagine myself ever searching for something else. The Murci is hands down the be all, end all that I was hoping for. Here are a few pictures of "The Money Badger": Delivery Interior Debut at a meet Finally at home My Dad came into town and we learned take out is pretty hard to order at a window let alone finding space to get it home without wearing it Engine Bay Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing from you guys! If you have any suggestions or things that I should know please by all means give me a shout!
