I’ve owned a 2004 Gallardo in orange, and a 06 Gallardo Spyder in yellow as well. I won’t keep this car forever, I had no intention of even owning this one, but the guy I bought it from was in a lot of trouble for unpaid taxes and literally needed to fire sale it, so I offered him just $500 more than Lambo Las Vegas and another dealer was going to pay him for it. Now that I’m out of the exotic car rental business I won’t have more than one exotic at a time, at least until I’m worth $50M plus. Lol… I’m going to be 30 this month, so still have plenty of time to keep going. Once the 458 Spiders become more available, I will buy one. Right now the first guys to take deliveries are getting upwards of $100G-$150G over MSRP after they put 3k miles on them. I refuse to pay the premium, and since I’ve only owned one other Ferrari (a F355 Spider), I can’t get on the list to order new. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-member-back-pt-in-cap-region-exotics/264899)._
