    Granted, in the cases he cited the trucks were hit by much bigger vehicles, but still. Damn, not worth the risk you know?

    Maybe I should just be the one driving the bigger vehicle. A nice Mack truck with a bed so I don't have to pay rent anymore. ;)
    Bloody unreliable automobiles. If they aren't breaking down their gas tank is exploding.

    Toyota MR2. Hits walls at 60mph and the driver is (basicly) un-harmed. Car is repairable too!

    Oh yeah, it has the Porsche badge on it's front. Can't think of what model it is though. Definitely not a Carrera GT.

    My Personal Favourite (And the car I shall die happy after owning):

    GO TO HELL! *ahem* Sorry, what I meant to say was...

    Do you really think it's ugly? I think it's effing beautiful! All the curves of a luxury Saloon laced with the madness of a Lamborghini! EPIC.

    I will buy one and I shall call it Speedy just to annoy you. :p

    Its okay. When you buy one i'll change my name to "The Clever One"!

    Its not that i hate it. But Lambo had such a good look once, and they kept it going for a while (imo), Again (imo) they drive like crap though (compared to other european greats) but had the X factor (for me anyway)

    Now this lambo just looks like an electric shaver.

    It makes me deflate, rather then what a great care should do

    Thats me, so thats not much!

    Couple of things:

    Drive Crap?
    Old Lambos, yes. Murcielargo, Denifitely not. Gallordo, F*** NO!

    Electric Shaver?
    But it's still a good look! It looks more sophisticated than a Murcielargo or a Gallardo, but still looks mental!

    Imo?
    WTF does that mean?

    Although, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

    I'll just change my name to "The Cool One" :D


    Rant over. I like Lambos.

    I remember seeing this beauty in the old automobile thread, still love the look of it.
    Heh, it does look a little like an electric shaver now that you mention it, speedy. But that's one pretty electric shaver. ;)

    And by the way, Xeno, imo means in my opinion.

    EDIT: I've never seen the back before. Not a big fan of the slitty lights, they make it look a little like a muscle car from behind... imo.

    That's true.

    That reminds me, the new(ish) convertible Camaro is silly; with the top down it looks like a girls car lol (sort of, it still looks good, because camaros are awesome).

    That car is UGLY. The body lines do not match up. It is curvy on the sides and boxy on the ends. No bueno friend.

    Yeah it's quite girl. Or that might just be 'cause it's orange.

    ONly Lamborghinis should be orange.

    Not a big fan of Lamborghini's in general. Far too overrated alongside its brothers at Maranello.
    Aston Martin, Porsche, Lotus, TVR and Tesla are my faves.

    The new Camaro is ok. The interior feels a bit cheap compared to other cars in its price range though. Not a car I'll be drooling over.

    Lambo = orange and or black.
    Ferrari = red
    Porche = white/silver.
    Ashton Martin = dark silver/gray.
    Those supercar's "natural" colours, in my opinion. :p
