Dragoneye you might surprise yourself. I went back to school and made a few smart investments. You can do the same thing. Don't sell yourself short.

No, no... that's not what I meant: I know myself well enough to realize that if I had too much money, I'd become a totally different person. I like me the way I am. I don't want to be able to afford one of those...

Sometimes I ache for it...but it's all good.

I Love Lamborghini (always have).... but i'm not a fan of this new take on what IMO is a very nice car... the LP640 is Fantastic, i recently got to drive one around Thruxton race track in the UK and the power delivery is brutal, as was the sound of the E-Gear system's change down

(nothing quite like that V12 behind your ear, gave me a ahem, well moving on:o ... this does seem a little bit like Lambo's trying to hard... it's like the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
They should of (IMO) kept the original styling.

Yeah they actually printed what a 44 year old guy (with a good driving history and full no claims bonus) would have to pay in a reasonable area... well it came out at £23,500 ($47,488.66) per year with a £25,000 ($50,519.85) excess.
Coupled with servicing i'd expect to be between £30,000 ($60,623.82) to maybe £60,000 ($121,247.64) per year and the price of fuel in the UK currently at around £4.50 ($9) per gallon damn that'd be expensive to own..... it's the kind of car that if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
