My dad has been after his dream car for a year now. I’ve been looking to no avail, until we found this bad boy. Came down to West Palm and bought her today. She gets shipped back this week so I’ll update some more photos, but I will say seeing him finally get this is a feeling I’ve never had. He’s insanely happy. And I drove this baby, it’s unreal. Has a bunch of big money parts too including a badass exhaust, so it’s loud as hell. So here’s a photo. And one of the dealership which was also insane. Dude inside had a Lamborghini Miura which was crazy clean and insanely valuable. Enjoy the pics, stats below. And when you see it, it’ll be my bad ass dad with a mullet, give him a :tup: Cheers -Lamborghini Gallardo -2004 -yellow -19k miles -stick -jic coils -forgestar wheels -fabspeed exhaust -carbon bits -etc etc [![http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/651AA2DD-5E40-4004-8527-1EFEDBC4ED53_zps0jinccqv.jpg](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/651AA2DD-5E40-4004-8527-1EFEDBC4ED53_zps0jinccqv.jpg)](http://s120.photobucket.com/user/steve2k1116/media/651AA2DD-5E40-4004-8527-1EFEDBC4ED53_zps0jinccqv.jpg.html) [![http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/EED024FD-0F40-42E2-A9CF-968D230880EB_zps2hus6tbj.jpg](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/EED024FD-0F40-42E2-A9CF-968D230880EB_zps2hus6tbj.jpg)](http://s120.photobucket.com/user/steve2k1116/media/EED024FD-0F40-42E2-A9CF-968D230880EB_zps2hus6tbj.jpg.html) And this is the new baby [![http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/E3C90BBA-3D66-4ED6-A5EF-FBEA64012EA2_zpslfenemw7.jpg](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/E3C90BBA-3D66-4ED6-A5EF-FBEA64012EA2_zpslfenemw7.jpg)](http://s120.photobucket.com/user/steve2k1116/media/E3C90BBA-3D66-4ED6-A5EF-FBEA64012EA2_zpslfenemw7.jpg.html) Typical 90s pose because Lambo [![http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/E38405EF-E55E-4F78-BBE3-78C6197215AF_zps8wizpluj.jpg](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/E38405EF-E55E-4F78-BBE3-78C6197215AF_zps8wizpluj.jpg)](http://s120.photobucket.com/user/steve2k1116/media/E38405EF-E55E-4F78-BBE3-78C6197215AF_zps8wizpluj.jpg.html) ---

you (your dad) got the yellow gallardo in manual? i say that’s awesome. also, i’m a guy that likes to see other people ball the fuck out… and a lambo is a pure fuck-you car to haters… so i like this double. - - - Updated - - - incidentally, when i was at Top Speed in DFW the other day they had a Gallardo spyder and a Murci spyder… i guess the Merci’s are surging in value because there was actually quite low production on them. It took longer for the older V12 Lambos to pop in value because they are actually shit to drive whereas the murci is slightly less shitty to drive. have you had the chance to drive the Gallardo? I always found Lambo interiors to be very disappointing but i’ve never driven one. ---

I always found Lambo interiors to be very disappointing but i’ve never driven one. haha yeah it’s the yellow one. And yeah I drove it. It was unreal. Shifts so smooth, and the v10 sounds unreal. I wasn’t bothered by the interior at all. Thought it was quite nice, I mean it’s basically an audi interior but I like it. I sat in that yellow Merc in the pic above and I’ll agree. It felt super old and shitty. Come south and check it out at a cars and coffee. It’ll be there ---

Awwsome! Even if a murci interior is out dated, i think it looks better and it sounds a little better. I do love gallardos, too not hating at all! I drove one in vegas, had E-gear. Was a blast to downshift andhear the engine blip and perfectly downshift. Congrats! Living the dream! ---
