Haters

This is great. Going to have to write it down because I know I will screw it up badly if I try to remember it.

 

I do have this "gift" of coming up with smartass comments at the right time, I only know how many times my grandmother used her slipper on me

LP is a double edged sword. I learn alot from well experienced elders/ but I am online many times when I should be working.

 

I know you have never said what you do, I thought for sure thats what you were part of. Now I have no idea.

 

Congrats on your success.

 

That is where most of the wealthy here do they make their money - but there is plently opportunity elsewhere.

I'm glad I have that cleared up now.

 

Thanks again!

yip gas,

 

as lambo-g-car said precisely - not to mention that i am not affiliated with the mining industry at ALL.

 

an exige s here costs 100k USD, you can imagine what an f430 etc. is going for then

 

Good on you Mike! I knew when I started my search to learn about Lambo's and figure out what I'd buy that on a true Lamborghini site there would be real players here. The personalitites on this site have made me enjoy this site beyond just research about the car.

 

I think the true haters, like what has been said, are the ones that have tunnel vision. The fact is that being assoiated with winners is a good way to learn and become a winner onesself. I continue to be impressed with you guys that have achieved so much wealth, especially the ones that remain cool. It would be so easy to become egomaniacal when you became a player, but the true great ones are the ones that remain cool despite the wealth and power.

That's the attitude to have! Frankly I don't give a damn about the attention the car gets - I just purely love the everything about these machines. The art in curves and angles. The sounds.... everything. I could talk hours upon hours about cars.

I'm very fortunate to be in a position to be able to have all these under my roof and I can enjoy them when time allows me. This is my passion and I will keep going as long as I can.

I have to admit here that I do enjoy the attention I get in it but more over I love it for what it is, the way it performs, this forum.

Beachbummed that's hilarious =)

 

On another note, I went to look at a house today. I'm not supposed to view it until Wednesday but I was in the area and figured I'd go look at it from the outside. I ran into a few of the neighbors. I was in the Gallardo SL and one of the neighbors comes up and says "Can I please sit in your car? I'm a HUGE Lamborghini fan". I say sure, then as he proceeds to get into the car he goes "Is this the Countach?". I thought it was a bit funny.

Not HUGE but MEGA!

Where I live we don't see too many haters, most of the responses are very positive. Thumbs up, nice car comments, people taking pictures, all the usual nice car stuff. I have had hater comments and one road rage incident that made the whole experience of having a Lamborghini questionable, but then a new day with wind in my hair and the roar of the v10 made it all go away.

 

I have said time and time again that Lamborghini's are MAGIC, they make so many people happy and smile and for me I'm fortunate enough to drive one and I try to share the magic as much as I can with others. We will always have haters but I'm sure most will agree that percentage wise there are far more lovers than haters.

 

Enjoy!

what kind of road rage are we taking about? cut off? or follow home?

what kind of road rage are we taking about? cut off? or follow home?

 

It was a guy in a pickup truck he was riding my tail and signaling to get out of the car, he was putting on leather gloves and kept signaling that he wanted to fight, giving the finger and yelling, he followed me for quite a while before I lost him at a off ramp that I took at the last second. Best part was the whole time he was flying off the handle his ~10 year old girl was telling him to stop... great role model! Poor girl.

 

I have had many people follow me and I have learnt to make sure that no one is around when I'm near the house or circle the area a few times till they leave. Once I had to litterally take 1/2hr detour away from my house and use the power to loose the guys that were following. Most of the time I think people just want to see the car so they follow you a little ways.

Did you do anything to make this guy that mad?

Not sure, I know that I did pass him and the G is loud when the exhaust valve is open, he was in the left lane on a two lane freeway, then he was inches away from my bumper giving me the finger. I did make the mistake of tapping the brakes, of course didn't help the situation. Anything like that happens now I just move over and keep happy, I don't need any additional pyscho attention.

I did that once too and was almost killed. I was driving on a major highway in Miami on a nice Sunday afternoon, and I am in the far left lane, there is a car pacing me right besides me, and a cop in the lane next to him a little to the front of us. This black range rover with quad exhaust tips comes up and almost touches my bumper. So I stick my hand out of the car and point to the cop to show him that I am not getting a speeding ticket so he can get by me. He keeps flicking his brights and gets closer to me. I SLAM on my brakes, and he swerves to avoid me. The cop gets off at the next exit. I am on a 1 lane off ramp with a breakdown lane to the right, and a small cliff to the left. I see the guy speeding up, so I slow down to see if he wants to do something about it. He gets next to me and swerves at my car. Luckily I was in a BMW with superb braking, and was able to avoid it and stop. We follow him and throw all the change I had in my car at his, and try to get him to pull over and he was lucky enough to get off at the next exit where I wasn't able to follow him. It was probably a 40-50 foot ditch, and it could have killed me. Lucky for him, I didnt have a weapon with me at the time or I would have been writing this from jail.

an exige s here costs 100k USD, you can imagine what an f430 etc. is going for then

 

You've got it good in South Africa then. A new Exige S with decent options is $160,000 Australian Dollars after taxes and on-road costs, which is about $150,000 US Dollars!
