thanks for sharing B4TM4N, the gallardo spyder is my fav. car, that's a coupe, nice nonetheless. I love those cars, they sound so nice with an aftermarket exhaust.

I would be doing backflips too if I had a chance to ride/drive that beast. Your orion blue SLK looks good, nice house too, your family's?

too bad you couldn't share a sound clip of the exhaust. there are few sounds as sweet as a lambo exhaust.

Thanks for sharing, after seeing some nicely spec'd Gallardo Spyders and a Superleggera here I am starting to like the Lamborghini.

What I noticed its quiet small compared to other supercars and has a rearview camera to park it in smaller parking spaces.

However, I cannot make my mind which sounds better the F430 or the Gallardo. The F430 sounds sweet when the valves open like a Mega Bomb were it sounds very very loud and can be heared from far away.

I love the Gallardo. It's a great looking piece of machinery. I think there's very little that looks as good.

Such nice colors! The Orian Blue on the SLK is so beautiful!

The Audi is nice, especially in the red with red / black interior. We have tons of them here. Mostly in yellow, green and silver.

They are a dissapointment to me. If you want an easy to drive mid-engine car, get an Acura NSX. Lambo's should be loud, hot and hard to drive at low speeds.

We even have a VW Veyron here.

I do not think the V-10 has that sweet of an exhaust note. Find a Murcialago and listen to the V-12 instead.

OMG Ynot that is THE SWEETEST PICTURE of the Lime Green Gallardo I've ever seen in my life!!!

You've officially given me a new reason to excell in life...

If you have anymore (or if not even, just that pic) can you email the full-res pics to me?! I would love you (more than I already do) forever!!

You've officially given 1000 future people future jobs. You should thank yourself for being a humanitarian. I'm all in!!

You can with a Gallardo spyder, it also has a unique natural feature which causes panties to go down; now can the SLK do that in a location filled with Bespoke,Exotic and Supercars.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Haha. That reminds me of a recent car visit.

A friend and I were bored on our lunch so we decided to drive over to the Honda dealership and check out the new Accord. No real interest, I just wanted to see it. We get to the dealership and spot the sedan. While we're looking at it, a salesperson (male about 22yrs old) greets us. We tell him we were just looking at the new Accord. He says, "What you want to check out is the 2 door Coupe. It's a real panty-dropper." WTF? I was blown away. Out of no where, he figures that would capture our attention. Well, it did but not in the sense he hoped. Instead of stirring our interest, we couldn't help but laugh. Come on. First, I really don't think cars are the be-all-end-all in attracting a female companion (read getting laid). Second, I can't see a young hot girl getting turned on by the fact you drive an ACCORD! WoW!
