2007 Lamborghini Gallardo AWD

My GF's Sisters Husband owns this car. We went over to their house to see their new born baby and say congrats etc. I was talking to my GF's brother in law and just casually asked "so, when are you gonna let me check out the Lamborghini?" He says "Lets go check it out." As soon as we go to the garage he opens the garage door and says "Wanna take it for a spin", so of course I say Yeah! He pulls it out of the driveway to make sure it doesnt scrape, gives me a quick run down of how the paddle shifters work etc and then says "have fun see you soon" I was like "aren't you gonna go with me?" he says "no, don't worry about it, but make sure to go get on the freeway and open it up a bit."
Long story short I drove around for about 15 miles with one freeway trip and opened up a lot on the freeway [Smile]

Ya I'd like to see this thing with a power adder for sure. Revving up to 8k on the freeway was pure insanity in this car. Not quite as fast as I had imagined, but it was no slouch

I would have never let you romp on my Lambo, go ahead and make 200k first before you drive.

I'm surprised you didn't come back with 1 bitch in your lap and 2 in the passenger seat! [Cool]

Why not? For some people 150k is chump change.

Yeah fortunately he's very generous and makes really good $, so he wasn't too worried about it. He told me specifically to open it up. I told him how fast I went and he was like "Man I never had the balls to go that fast" and then he proceeded to ask me all about it lol how smooth was it going that fast etc

My gf has a huge family and are more traditional to their culture which is mien. He's chinese, and I'm white, so I'd gather that they like him better, but then again they don't speak english, so I have no clue. They don't seem like the type of people that care too much about money. They care a great deal about family etc

I thought about it, but seeing as how I was driving a car that goes for $150k I didn't even want to look at my phone while driving. I was a littler nervous at first because everything was so much different than I'm used to. I've had quite few cars, but none exotic. Several Mustangs(71 Mach 1,78 Mach 1,87 GT T-Top,88 GT Vert,89 Coupe,91 GT,2-92 Coupes,& 93 Coupe) 95 Dodge Neon, 05 Dodge Neon SRT-4, 84 CRX 1.5, 78 Camaro Z-28 Type LT etc
So I drove it around some back roads for awhile to get used to it. By the time I hit the freeway it felt like I had been driving it for years already. The paddle shifters were pretty cool and it has what almost feels like a stall converter. While sitting at a light in 1st you can let your foot off the brake and the car won't go anywhere. Gotta give it some gas and rev it before it'll start to move.

Thanks. I never in a million years thought I'd get to. Any other time I've seen a lamborghini it's been at a car show on the other side of the ropes that keep you away right next to the signs that say don't touch.

I was actually thinking how much nicer he is than I am. Made me feel like an ass because I was just sitting there thinking "man I probably wouldn't have let him drive my 5.0 unattended"

So can I test drive your car?lol [Big Grin]

Posted by FivePTSlow (Member # 7682) on :

I forgot to mention the sound of it too. I've seen many on videos, on tv and in movies. None of those even almost compare to the real sound of this machine. I can't even begin to describe it, but you can tell it's meant to go. It's really strange hearing the gear box switching for you when hitting the paddles, or downshifting what seemed like each individual gear when coming to a stop just to make sure you're always in the correct gear if you need to go.

Posted by FivePTSlow (Member # 7682) on :

He's also agreed to go with me to sac raceway once I finish my new engine for my 5.0 he's not a very aggressive driver and no way he'd drag launch it, so I should have a pretty good shot at beating him down the 1/4 mile

A lot of us feel the same way. I don't let anyone drive my car. Heck, my husband has only driven it a few times and I've had it for 5 years [Smile]
