After a while they got ready to leave, they had to boost one of the Lambos and then they were on their way with much fanfare.
They are all beautiful cars and I'm sure a hoot to drive, but not the kind of car you can or would drive to work on a nice day or jump in and drive to the lake on a beautiful summer day for the weekend.

I will take my 911 and drive it, something I think you would do alot less of with a Ferrari or Lambo.
... 10 months for a part that seldom breaks or doesn't cripple the car is reasonable for an exotic IMO.

... $20,000 service? What did they do for $20k? What would it cost to do the same DIY? How much of that $20k was repairing stuff that had been "deffered"?

... The Boosted Lambo? Maybe the guy that owns it should replace the battery, have his alternator rebuilt and renew the drive belt. Also.. he could install a kill switch to isolate the battery when he's not driving it.
