Back on page 3 I mentioned seeing a Mangusta Qvale. Well, it looks like someone in my building has bought one (or decided to start driving it into work):

I hadn't heard of this car before. I looked up the official site for it... and honestly, I don't know why, but it doesn't do anything for me.... Maybe I'm just having one of those days...

White Lamborghini Gallardo on toll road this morning from NY.
It was screaming away from me before I could catch a good shot.

It kinda looks like the fat, retarded cousin of the miata.
There, I said it. You all know you were thinking it...

My parking garage seems to be a hot-bed of rare cars lately. Witness the Lotus Elan:

spotted a white Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder on 8th St SE after the fireworks. I would have snapped a pic but the driver was wearing a UNC hat.

Glad to hear at least one owner pullers her hair and spanks her a bit.
Wait, sorry, wrong thread... and wrong forum...

I wish the wanker down the block would play with the Lambo 560 he parks out in his driveway on the weekends.
I feel for him though, he has to move his 650i to the visitor parking to make room for the Gallardo.

Didn't get a picture of it, but spotted something called a LaForza yesterday (it looked to be in horrible condition, though). It even had a Ferrari prancing horse badge on the front fender right by the door:
Wikipedia wrote:Laforza was an American automobile manufacturer. The company sold an Italian-built military and police body and chassis designed by Tom Tjaarda, fitted with Italian leather interior and a fuel injected Ford Windsor engine. It was marketed as a "luxury 4x4", competing with the Range Rover. The vehicle was refreshed in 1998 with a "new" design to include more modern amenities, but used the same basic body and drivetrain.
