A Sign Of The Times-Maybe
The largest Lamborghini dealer in the country, located in Santa Ana
(Orange County), CA, has closed it's doors. The sold about 10% of the 2,400 unit annual production. With a price structure of about $600K/unit, you would think they were immune from swings in the economy. Maybe yes, maybe no. Lew |

The Reveton is sold out forever, and the Audi powered Gallardo can be had for $225,000 fully loaded. So of which Lambo doth thou speaketh? I think the problem is that, with the exception of the Gallardo, Lambos are just bad cars. Cute, but unreliable. I guess the market is also limited by the fact that you have to pay $ 650.00 to get a Lamborghini logo on your headrest. Around here, the cops will give you a ticket just for being a pompous ass if you own one of those cars..G |

When It comes to cars, I'm clueless. As far as I'm concerned they are all a POS you get in at the dealer and drive by some path to the junk yard, where you get a ride back to the dealer for the next one. As far as the $600K number, that was the number reported by the local media, but there are enough pro sports and Hollywood types to support any price. Lew |

Where would you put it? |

Maybe many purchasers of those cars in that area also go overboard decorating their cars with a lot of bling. A few diamond studded steering wheels could significantly increase prices. |

It took me a while to learn to not buy American cars also.

Which is why you have to verify everything that you read or hear that comes from the media. The left media reports what "they" want you to hear. They are the "New Lawyer" |

That's just in case a neocon walks by? ooops, I was going to discard that last sentence, but I had already hit the send button. |

I've decided to wait until after the IPO of my self-aligning prayer rug. Bryan and I almost picked one up at the local dealer last Saturday, seriously. We walked up on the lot to look at a Lotus that he has spotted from the feeder road and there in the middle of the paver stone display area in the used car parking lot sat a Lambo. Engine running, not a person in site, door ajar. It would have been a matter of getting in and driving off. LOL. It was probably the cheap one on the lot, it was surrounded by Masaratti's, Bentleys, and a friggen Smart car. I guess the Smart car was the bait. ;~) |

Lew How many sheets of 8 by 4 ply can you get on the roof rack and does it keep the rain off when you're getting blowed? Might as well be a motorcycle, then.... |
