My Boss owns a Porsche 911 Turbo, a Lambo Aventador, and just added to his collection a Mclaren 650S, he is far from a Douch Bag.

Oh he also owns a BMW as his DD, and a FORD F350...

Your post shows who the real D-Bag really is...

Yes sorry I meant 25k miles the clutches are made to be the weak points in the vehicle by design.

West Laugh-a-lot, drives v6, wants to own Lamborghini?

I'd finish college before you worry about convincing yourself a Lambo is worth it.

Well let me ask you this, if you buy said lambo op, will you complain about the 1k $ plus routine maintenance? One of the girls I work with bought a '14 Bentley. She complains about having to put premium in the tank, let alone the service maintenance but she was bent on having it.

Don't know your situation so I'm not trying to insinuate anything just asking.

Hate to bust your bubble, but a decent Lambo from about 6 years ago will still run you north of $100k (and that doesn't even include the maintenance).

The only Lambo in that price range is going to be a 2006-8 Gallardo (non-Superleggera). The numbers that Gallardo would post could be bested by a current BASE Corvette, let alone a Z06.

Putting "lambo doors" on a lambo. Weird.

Funny this thread came out. Been a dream of mine as well an plan on buying a used Gallardo or R8 next year as a gift to myself for reaching my dream goal.

Regular maintenance is not all that bad, its when a major component goes out but 6k for a clutch replacement is not as bad as I was expecting

Definitly will be getting one, hoping next year, if not next year then 2017 for sure.

Life is too short, enjoy it. Money comes, money goes, as long as you enjoy you life thats all that matters
