Easy said. It's the 15th of December already

So when it's the 1st of January you will be able to buy more cars

Congrats, Joe! I have owned both the Gallardo and the LP640 and I much prefer the latter. The LP takes a while to get accustomed to, but once you do, it is truly fastastic. I track mine -- it is more than capable on track. Good luck finding a place where you can really let that car stretch its legs!

So far I have driven the Gallardo more and it feels safe and inviting, the Lp640 is still very... very scary to me, it will take some time to get to know her!!!

I made myself drive the LP every day for 30 days straight, day and night driving. The parking garages are truly evil for a car that low and 81 inches wides, so avoid them! The driver break in period worked and I got to the point where I could do anything in that car . . . except reach the drive in window at McDonalds.

(No no, just kidding, I didn't go through the McDonald's drive-in with a Lamborghini.)

Swedish professional skier jon Olsson also has a LP640. But he wants to drive it to trysil(ski area in Norge).

Well, I hope he has snow tires!

I'm not sure I'd recommend this particular use of the LP640, even though I drive mine a good deal. For one thing, the wide tires don't handle water and slippery road conditions very well. (Don't ask.) For another, the salt used to melt road ice is very corrosive. Finally, the ski rack . . . just doesn't complement the car. (Is that the nice way to say it?)
