Lambos are all about showbiz and glitz; they are cars for beautiful people who love attention.
However, there is another type of Lambo owner, a much rarer breed. These are the genuine connoisseurs, people who love the insanity of that big V12 being pushed to the limit. 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds -- the LP640 roadster separates the men from the metrosexuals -- no pretty boy would ever drive that fast with the roof down .....it would mess up the do. |
After meeting several Lamborghini owners and my dad doing business with some of them, I'm quite convinced that they are quite a breed of egoistic people. It's a pretty harsh generalisation and a sweeping statement at that but until I meet a nice Lamborghini owner I'm pretty convinced they are exactly the type of people you describe them to be.
This made me rethink my desire for Lamborghinis - the image associated with them immediately made them less desirable for me. A DB9 would suffice better.
