Looks great! Funny to see how low that car is. The garage interior photo with Urus and door show the scale and proportion.

Happy for him, but man I am a wee bit jealous

It’s growing on me but I kinda hate the screens and would rather have an SVJ/Ultimae for the same money. That brown interior is not what I’d go with on any Lambo, but that’s just me.

Pass. Mediocre car, mediocre spec, nice house though. Good for your buddy.

As long as it's what he likes.

Mediocre 1001 hp car that goes 0-60 in 2.3 seconds with an exposed v12 ...

I don't like the coffee interior personally, but I love the white with carbon

He says it embarrasses his other fun car.... Mac 765LT Spider

started with school supplies...turned into Chromebook carts.

Right place right time.....took advantage of a situation when his supplier tried to rip him off, so he became his own supplier....the rest is history

I am always torn with Lambo, I mean if i had the money. I do appreciate how wild they look but they are so damn big. NA V12 would have to be the way to go though if one was to buy one surely?

I gotta say, I actually prefer the look of the McLaren.

Oh and nothing wrong with being a bit jealous, we all get that way but then I remember some people cannot feed themselves and shut myself down.

Lambo was easily one of my favorite car companies growing up. Having said that, the new ones don't do much for me. I'd so much rather take a Diablo SV (in yellow please!) over any of these new Audi era ones. Not that I'll be in that position to do so

What I like about the Revuelto is it is a mix of all the classics....it is like an homage to the Countach, Murci, Hurican and Adventador....mixed with 918 hybrid tech mixed an exposed v12.... I do see the C8 vibe tho with the side intakes

here is the shot of the exposed V12

You might want to talk to your optometrist, that sounds like diabetic retinopathy. Might be best to start treatments sooner than later!

I've driven both, and don't agree. First gear takes forever to wind out, the interior is trying too hard to be like ferrari and the power delivery just isn't that great. Aventador SVJ tickled my v12 itch more than that.

I'd agree and say a SJV is more fun than the 765lt.

Hey we can all like what we like

The Revuelto is generally what the C8 should have looked like. GM needs to get past making the space in the rear to accommodate golf clubs. So few owners give a crap about that.

Am I the only one that thinks the green pinstriping and racing stripes makes the 765LT look like a Pep Boys special? If someone did pinstriping on their non-supercar, people would laugh their ass off. But do the same on a supercar and it's like "Wow, so well executed!!!" Money can't buy taste.

But the 'Vette engineers do...

"Nicknamed 'America’s Summer Golf Capital,' Michigan is home to the third-most courses in the country. Trailing only Florida and California, the state’s 859 tracks have hosted multiple majors as well as the 2004 Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills Country Club. Similar to golfing in neighboring states like Ohio and Wisconsin, accessibility is weather-dependent whether you’re playing on the Upper Peninsula or elsewhere across the state.

As one of golf’s most underrated destinations in the U.S., don’t sleep on Michigan."

🤣🤣🤣
