Hola fellow 10 banger!

I drove an M6 before leaving Texas, they are sweet but I’d want to make it fast. Can’t justify spending 50K at UGR to make it more fun to drive lol. :tup:

Yeah I don’t get them. Guess it was an LP option? They’re aftermarket either way and only vinyl so it’ll be a quick removal. She’s currently in route to buffalo as we speak.

Thought the same to be honest until I saw it in person. Never been a fan, but I actually like it. Regardless, my dad likes it so that’s that haha.

I’ll make sure I park my Mustang next to it so I can slide down the side of it when I burn out of the parking space when I leave.

Really glad he got a stick, screw the e gear clutch life issues. I pretty extensively researched a LP560-4 or LP550-2 and the premium on the manual over the e gear is too extreme to justify the purchase in my opinion - and if I’m going auto, I’ll go dual clutch.

He can enjoy one of the last of a dying breed - the big ol’ naturally aspirated manual transmission supercar.

Couldn’t agree more. Essentially his thought process. And for what he paid for it, he’ll never lose a dime I guarantee that.

Not shitting on it at all, but a '04 Gallardo is not “I own a yacht to watch the Monaco Grand Prix from the deck of my boat” rich. It’s definitely “I have been relatively successful, especially in Buffalo” rich. This is probably sarcasm, but I get pissed when people think a low seven figure net worth is “rich”.

Better to be wealthy than rich, but that’s a debate for another thread.

aaaanddd you sound like a douche. To the vast majority of the population, that is rich. And if that’s what it takes to piss you off then you’re awfully small minded.

my dad is hardly rich. I get what you’re both saying but he’s nearly 60, owns his own business and works his ass off. A sub $100k car in my mind doesn’t make you “rich” he just worked hard enough and saved enough to buy it that’s all.

hoping so. Plan is for it to be here tomorrow or Friday. Then my dad has to get it on the road. The 911 should be there, hoping this can be too. If not, it’ll be at the next one for sure. He intends to drive the piss out of it. Won’t be a garage queen.
