24hrs w/ 100 free miles at $1450. Booked it through AMEX and they negotiated every additional mile down to $1/mile for me. Big whoop i guess.

cruising the strip at night was a rush.

the 360 Modena is nice…but wanted the more powerful Gallardo.

Also, something i forgot. The automatic cooling fans seems annoying loud while sitting at idle. I thought it was a bus behind me.

Could of got this and picked up every hooker on the strip.

[http://www.dreamcarrentals.com/cars-minivans.php](http://www.dreamcarrentals.com/cars-minivans.php)

When I was in Monaco I could have rented a F360 for $60 for 30 mins to drive the grand prix and roll up in front of the casino, i regret not doing it.

haha…many other things on my list before any kind of exotic.

Quite simply, it was fun and a great experience. I’m glad i did it, but wouldn’t do it again.

The car isn’t in my opinion. It confirmed my desire for a DB9/DBS some day. Many other cars are on my list for the price of that new. Personally i wouldn’t want to pay over $120K for it.

Thats funny that they only include 50 miles with them. They have to make a fortune on people with these things. How the hell are you gonna drive around in a Lambo and not go cruising. Haha.

these cars are ‘detuned’ for the fleets anyways… i bet it’s running a more conservate fuel map, traction control locked on, etc. etc.

i know when i rented the Shelby GT convertible a couple years ago it had a bunch of tweaks to keep the renters in line.
