Restaurants: Bandera (great place) Brentwood (highly recommend) Houston's (same owner as Bandera) Santa Monica Mastros (Beverly Hills) Dan Tana's (West Hollywood) Bars: The Huntley Hotel (Santa Monica) Must go. The London Hotel (Sunset Strip) Polo Lounge (Beverly Hills Hotel) Chateau Marmont (Sunset Strip) There are a bunch in Downtown LA too, but it's really better at those above.. -Steven

Can I make a suggestion for you Rory and the team at Lpower.. Anyone in DevOps or IT infrastructure would cringe at making site changes to a production environment without testing/QA in a staging environment prior. I know I posted in the other thread about making backups before you guys took this site offline for 2 weeks, but I doubt that happened, which is why there are lost posts etc.. My suggestion would be to put an identical version of this site (on a different database) so you can test your changes on say dev.lambopower.com (create an ACL so it doesn't get indexed or accessed by anyone except for you and the other admins) before propagating them to prod. Additionally, you should always have backups and a regression plan in the event things go south like they clearly did the past few weeks. If you want some help, let me know. -Steven

Looks great Allan, congrats.. How long ago did you do the epoxy? I did it for my garage a long time ago (maybe 6-7 years ago) and after say a year or so the tire marks from the cars showed on it.. So I'm wondering if the epoxy has gotten more durable, or just my installer sucked! -Steven

Our cars are twins! -Steven

Hey Adam, Love the car.. Was this the one at Lambo Newport Beach? -Steven

I think the value varies greatly. I remember being on a run in LA which was a CHP run to benefit the 11-99 foundation. One of the cars got pulled over by a sheriff on PCH. Actually, I seem to recall 4 of them did, all got tickets.. I don't want to speculate on how they were driving, but since the CHP was with us, I don't think it mattered one iota.. -Steven

Matt, It's been a few days, we all know you're not working, so let's have it... Bring on the videos! See you in Miami in June ? -Steven

Car looks sick, how does it handle bumps in the road/steeper driveways ? My SL isn't lowered or anything and I have so little clearance sometimes.. -Steven

Allan, There had to be something wrong with either the car, or the seller. I don't know any 2011 SuperGs going for that, unless there is a firesale or salvage.. -Steven

In all seriousness, AMEX runs promotions to transfer points to airlines. With 1mm in spending, sometimes they offer big time rewards like 50% bonus to BA transfer, or 35 or 40% bonus to KLM etc. So 1mm will get you ~ 10 international business class RT tickets, but with the 50% bonus, it's like 15 business class RT tickets easily worth 2k each, thus 2007gallardo's post about the 24k worth of tickets.. -Steven

I have an LP570 with the RSC exhaust. I'll try to make it to the sunday car show on topanga if you want to listen to it.. -Steven

You just got shafted.. I live in hollywood hills, called up verizon, told them I'm a long time customer and never had good cell phone reception near my house, they send me the network extender for free.. Setup was super easy too, hook unit to router, place near a window, turn power on, wait 4 hours for the signals to update, and done. Now I have 5 bars, and service is fine.. -Steven

That looks like my old car The matte black callistos and yellow calipers are sexy! -Steven

I'm totally down.. -Steven

Took a few pics the other day -Steven

I tried to do that with the deep sounding exhausts. Someone can do that for the F1 sounding ones and we can make a master thread -Steven

Thanks bud! Feel free to post it anywhere -Steven

Hey Guys, Just did a video of the startup with the RSC exhaust. It's very loud, and I love it It makes me feel like I'm driving a beast, not a hybrid.. Video taken from my iphone, can someone upload to youtube and post the link? No youtube account here.. -Steven Lambo_Startup.MOV

HAHA, nice work Nathan, I have the clear side markers going on next week. I was wondering if I should paint the rims black or not... Calipers will probably stay Orange, or maybe Red, and Ron's car is super sweet... -Steven

Labs are really the best breed, they are so loving, so patient, so happy, and just overall amazing. Yes, the dog's name is Lambo as well ! -Steven

It's been a while since there has been a posting of man's best friend and favorite car!! So , here are a few pics of 2 of my most treasured babies.. -Steven

Love how fast you guys are, thanks! -Steven

Cheers Adam +1 for reading my post BTW, I went with the RSC exhaust, I should be getting my car back later today I'll post some sound clips as well. -Steven

I want to get clear side markers for my LP570. When I was at the dealer, we looked at the part numbers, and it's a different model number than previous gallardos... Does anyone know of a place to get them specifically for the 570? -Steven

Thanks, that's my old car! The OP already PM'd me and I gave him my $.02... When I purchased the car, I didn't want the clear bonnet because I didn't want people walking up to the car, leaning over to look at the engine, then scratching the car with their jeans etc... It's a personal choice... Car is super clean... -Steven
