Thread: The driving experience?

Okay this might be silly...but I'm genuinely curious what the entire experience of driving a Lambo is like. I'm 21, and have been completely infatuated with super cars of all kinds since I knew what a car was, especially Lamborghini's. I've not been blessed with the privilege of even stepping foot in one however. Although as of late, the career I'm pursuing has been looking up and I could very well come into a sufficient amount of money to accommodate a Lambo owning lifestyle within the next couple years or even sooner. So all this has gotten me massively excited that the moment I've waited for my whole life, may very well be just around the corner, and I find myself daydreaming sometimes...what exactly is it like to own, and pilot one of these works of art. From the moment you open the door and step inside, to the moment you arrive at your destination. Down to every last detail. I don't mean any specific model, although the LP560-4 spider has been what I've wanted since the day it was released. Just thought it might be something fun to talk about, amongst people who actually do own a Lambo. I guess kind of your own personal reviews but not in such a techie, numbers on paper, sense.

Indescribable. But if you need me to specify, I'd probably say fvcking awesome! Good luck with your new career.

It is great if you don't look at how people react to you driving fast or just being in a bull. For every thumbs up, there are nine middle fingers pointing towards you that you do not see. Some, maybe you do..... It was one of the slowest "fast" cars I had driven though (Gallardo spyder) so speed wasn't the fun part

Yeah that is a given and honestly...I couldn't give a crap what people thought. I know it must hurt but I've always been a bit of a loner, and wouldn't have it any other way. If someone has a problem with the car I drive, then that isn't really the kind of person I want in my life anyway.

What is the driving position like in a Gallardo? For say an average height guy, is it hard to see out of?

My helmet is rubbing (while slouching) the roof and i'm 6ft. I don't know HOW NBA players own (well, drive) lambos.

Congrats on your new career. Welcome to the 4 and enjoy your stay.

Thanks much! You guys are a friendly group I like it here! I've worked really hard, and sacrificed a lot since I was about 14 to make this work, so I'm happy it all could very well pay off soon. Hopefully within a year or so I'll have some pics for you guys.

I also enjoy myself as a loner too. As for the view, not so great. I sat really low to wear a hat and avoid it from blowing off and could see about an inch above the wheel, I had good visibility out of the sides and I am 5' 10" which I consider average. When I sat normally things were fine as you can sort of see in the old pic

This was taken prior to her burning alive at the gas station. RIP Summer 2008

This pic may be a better representation of what I look like next to a friend's G coupe. I was close to hitting the roof by about 2 inches. With no seatbelt on going over a speed bump, I would hit the roof.
These pics are all a couple of years old

Shaq custom made a stretched blacked out lamborghini (unfortunately i forget the model) when he played with the Phoenix Suns. He then sold this stretch lamborghini when he got traded to Boston and i don't know what ever happened to this car. I have a picture of it and i will try to post it when i can.
