I have always had a thing for exotics, especially Lamborghini, so I began shopping (half heartedly as I didn’t expect I’d really be serious).

All I can say is I have a really cool wife- who wanted me to scratch that itch.

I found my “dream car” which is a 2008 Lamborghini gallardo spyder, with a super rare 6-speed gated manual transmission.

Pretty hard to come by as roughly only 5% of gallardos came as a manual (and I didn’t want the e-gear “paddle” transmission as it’s known to be problematic and expensive to replace).

When I stumbled across the exact spec I wanted, my wife was the one pushing me to do it-

So I took the plunge and bought the lambo.

It is crazy fun to drive- and the exhaust note (as an audiophile) is my favorite part. Nothing like a v10 screaming behind you.

Pretty fun picking kiddos up from school too I may add, albeit one at a time


Congrats and awesome car! I also have a great wife who understands the things that a man has to do!!
