I guess I just don't understand all the hostility towards it.
It's not some blasphemous Mapplethorpe thing designed to elicit emotional outrage in people of faith and believers in dogmas.
It's a car, it's making a statement that someone either commissioned or self funded.
The Joplin Porsche, John Lennon's Rolls-Royce, any of the BMW commissions and all the amateur art cars that we ever see on the road are basically the same thing - an interesting car that the owner has personalized outlandishly for reasons known to themselves.
What if there were ten Lamborghinis buried to the cowl out in the middle of Texas instead of a bunch of Cadillacs that were then covered in of graffiti over the decades?


I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to belittle anyone here who has a strongly negative opinion, I'm just trying to understand why. (Realistically, that makes the Gallardo of the OP a successful installation, because it's got people talking, right?)
