2 lambo sighting

BRPORSCHE · 01-29-2006, 04:28 PM

Ok I don't know how copmmon this is in other big cities, but this is extremely rare in the bustling metropolis of Baton Rouge. I saw a yellow lambo gallardo yesterday and a silver murci today. is this common to see these type of cars in other cities? baton Rouge really isn't the finacial center of the united states. Guess it must be the oil money. Waiting still to see the cgt I saw at the dealership.

Lambos are more of a Miami car....

Definitely not Pacific Northwest style....

I saw a white one south of DC on sat. Stunning and bold works of art imo

You see them in L.A. on the Westside from time-to-time, but more Ferraris, Maseraties, Rolls, and lots of pcars, mostly water pumpers, in fact you see that stuff every day.

Quite frequently...Enzos, run of the mill Ferraris, Loti, Maseratis, Lambos, yada yada yada...I live on Sunset Blvd right by Pacific Coast Highway...so there ya go.

I've seen the same silver Lambo Murcielago in Studio City and Hollywood. You definitely hear it before you see it. The thing's wicked fast.

As far as common - yeah, L.A. has a few running around.

The neighbors down the street used to have this Lamborghini come over every once in a while:

Plenty of those in Scottsdale.

Hell, I work with a guy who just sold his Diablo...

I used to see them in Boston on Newbury Street every once in awhile. Ferraris, Porsches, Vipers, and NSXs were far more common, though.

Just got back from Westwood and went to the gym, saw a Lambo, a big ole' Rolls (I mean big big), a GT3, a Saleen...and a bunch of the biggest ego car on the scene, the Prius.

Everyday here in London. Lots in Riyadh, Dubai and elsewhere in the middle east. Blue is correct, see them often in Snottsdale...

I just thought this was kind of weird since I never see a lambo and now two and two days. I usually freak out when I just see a sc.

Hate them. Well, not the cars, necessarily, but the holier-than-thou drivers behind the wheel.

saw this Lambo on a group drive a few months back. That's my kid behind trying to get his camera phone to work though he looks like he's taking a leak on the bumper.

Here's another view. My Carrera is in the background next to a Lotus Espirit and Testarossa.

I have no idea what model Lambo this was though.

Cantdrive55,

That was a Gallardo. That car would not survive some of the frost-heaved roads around here. Dramatic to look at though!

I know what you mean Tom... small towns very seldom see any nice cars. I saw a Lambo Countach at the Home Depot in Houma, La the other day. Didn't have my camera but got a shot with my cell phone. the next day saw a new Lotus in Lafayette. Then a few days later I got to play with a Testarossa near Franklin. A guy I've become friends with recently asked me to help him find a water leak. He said once it's repaired... I get to have some fun in it. can't get the picture to post though. The SOB has 3 Ferraris, several Porsches and many other fine cars . .

Come to Michigan. You'll poop your pants anytime you see an exotic.
We gots lots of Mustangs, Camaros, and trucks though.

Jims5543 · 01-30-2006, 05:10 AM

Miami is like LA. Go to a place called Cocowalk and Porsches are like Hondas there. I lost count after 50 sightings in 45 minutes, no joke.

Procon - Please tell me your joking with the General Lee paint job.

Jims5543 · 01-30-2006, 05:15 AM

These are from Sept. '04 in Key Biscayne when we were at the Ritz for a weekend.

Some "low end" cars parked to the side.

Paul,

I didn't open the video, (dial up

), but the kind of roads I'm talking about will rip up the undertray on a VW Jetta. A friend of mine had to terminate the lease on his Jetta a few years back, because of the condition of the roads near his home. I went through there in the old E around the same time and scraped the front pan (normal suspension height) on a combination of high areas between the wheel tracks and frost heaved spots... maybe I should have slowed down. The Lambo might be able to handle the rough stuff, but if you are hung up on the belly-pan, you are still stuck.
Don't get me wrong. Most of the roads around here are fine, but some of the 'interesting' back roads, (that only get re-surfaced every 15 years or so) can be a challenge. 'Euro-height' 911s need not apply!
