This sucked because the car ended up sitting more often than not, which seemed like a waste. My solution was not to sell it, but to save and wait and add a p-car back to the stable when I could, so I could still enjoy fun drives when the time didn't feel "right" to pull out the lambo (i.e., driving to work...I did that one time and it was a huge mistake as I work at a big company with lots of pay stratification, and it was not a wise move).

So, if you can only swing one "fun" car, you may be disappointed with an Italian, as I found that they are just not as "useable." Not because they can't be used, but because, for me at least, I just didn't use it like I could a p-car. .

The Gallardo is really German and an Audi anyways - so don't feel too bad.
