The Lamborghini Test-Drive...

Man, it's been about a month now and I can't stop thinking about this thing. Fortunately I am lucky to be married to a HUGE car enthusiast, my wife rocks! Lisa was in the market for a new Porsche (she had a Cayman-S and took it into our Porsche dealer for a routine service and saw a GT-3 on the lot - she was hooked immediately!) Our friend Malcom found her a GT-3 at Lamborghini of Atlanta and told Lisa about it. She went down to take a look at it and wasn't a big fan of the color. However - with this place being a Lambo/Lotus dealer there were PLENTY of cars she was interested in. I'm getting ready to leave work and I get this text message from her "I'm about to test drive a Lamborghini!" My response was "I'm there in 10 minutes!" Fortunately ATL traffic wasn't too bad - I got there and Lisa had already gone on the test drive of the Lambo and a Lotus and was eyeing a Ferrari 360. Now the Lambo has been my dream car ever since I was a kid drooling over the Countach and I have to admit, walking up to the Gallardo I was about to test drive felt like I was walking on egg shells. We got in and the sales lady took me for a ride and explained the ins and outs of this 10 cylinder, AWD, 540 horse-power beast. Then she pulled over and it was my turn - man, to FINALLY be getting behind the wheel of the car of my dreams was amazing, then to let off the clutch and take off.... To say that my expectations were met would be an understatement - they were obliterated! This thing was amazing. It BEGS to be driven. It was an incredibly smooth riding, amazing handling, totally insane experience. To say I wanted one before is an understatement and now I am hooked. It WILL be my next car. The one we drove was yellow w/yellow and blue interior (I could overlook this but Lisa convinced me not to settle and eventually get the one I want - black w/black interior - possibly the Nero edition w/black wheels too.) We asked the sales lady if they had an black ones for around the same price and she said they didn't. So we ended up with the supercharged Jag XK-R to replace the Porsche. Soon though, very soon, we'll have a black lambo sitting in the drive!
