Look at the cars I saw today. (Pics Galore)

Hey all,

I drove by Boston Sports Car, a ferrari shop and now a Lamborghini importer, and guess what I saw, the Murcielago. This is the one that was in the Forbes article, and apparently it is going out to Car and Driver to be a part of their supercar challenge. A rep from Lambo told me this, he was a realyl nice guy. Here are the pics, enjoy!





















While visiting Black M5 the other day, I happen to see this car parked outside. The color is a lot nicer in real life, bad picture taking:





I got more!!

Sweet pics! See, I told you it was worth the quick trip there.

Please tell me that is not a scratch on the rim in the pic with the rim/tire closeup. Maybe it's a logo of some sort instead?

Very nice pics Rocket... But i have 2 observations though.

1) The front of that Murielago seems too high for a Lamborghini I guess it is higher more than usual because it is a US spec and just like C32 phil pointed out. The US C32's are higher than the European models..

2) At first i thought that silver greyish Diablo was a 30th because it had SE spoliers and wheels but the fuel cap is not an SE cap. But the pciture from back confirmed that it indeed was an SE30. Hmmm weird. Why does it have the standard diablo fuel cap rather than the SE's then? Cuz its a US model ?

Can you please post the pic of the right side of my car and you will see that my fuel cap is different...

OMG I can't believe this !!!!!! This Diablo owner actually tried to make his car look like the Diablo SE30 ! I just saw the pics again and noticed the side windows didn't have the spit for the small corner opening. OMG this is a fake SE30 !!!!

And to make matters worse the guy installed a SE30 emblem on the back :thumbs down: No wonder its fuel cap was different :p
