Lamborghini's main product are farm tractors.

I sat in one when I was pretty young, the two specifics I remember are that it was really difficult to get in and out of and the rear "window" was smaller than any I've ever looked through.

I am truly jealous, Joe. I drove a 911 4S last summer...but I would love to drive a GT43, especially the new RS.

"What's behind me is not important", said the Italian race car driver in the movie 'Gumball Rally".

I adopted this inanity as my watchword until the day I backed into a dude. Cost me $300.00 in 1970s dollars.

That Lamborghini was a silly car but the man loved it a lot.

Haha, great quote Gene! That is the part where the Italian guy ripped off the Ferrari's mirror and threw it out of the car, ha. The truly ironic thing is, is that is a quote from Enzo himself.

I once drove a 1995 Lotus Esprit for a 24 mile round trip to a tire station for its owner. It's a fun car but I would never want one as a daily driver.

You can say what ever you want, but I was saying Production cars.

I've sat in (and drivin) a handfull of vintage Ferraris; a 1959 (I think) Mercedes 300SL roadster; Ferrari 550 Marenello. I'd say those were the priciest.

I call bullshit on the Veyron especially in Kentucky. I'd like to say enzo but I just drooled all over it and dry humped it.
