Exactly the first thing I thought too.

I'll just leave this here for those that are like, yeah it's ok, another "Lambo".....

And this for those that are just curious about this car, just a cool in depth review.

You are a very fortunate man indeed Paul.
I absolutely love the exhaust on this car and no one does paddle shifters better than Lamborghini, those things are bad ass.

Amazing car! Hopefully it won't get keyed in a Walmart parking lot like my new Subaru Outback did. 😎

Thought so, I was speaking of the second gen r8, as you had mentioned having one on order when your last awesome car arrived! Presumably it's services are no longer needed haha

I would rather have your GT3 as my Grail, but I must admit that Lamborghini is one beautiful car. Additionally, my poor, decrepit old body, would not enjoy getting in and out of that car. Although, I can imagine the number of young women that would try and help me in and out of it. WOW, a magnificent collection of cars. Congrats!

After seeing the reveal I felt comfortable with going Lambo.

Funny thing, the GT3 is MUCH hard to get in than Lambo (seat are very deep in GT3). Believe it or not Lambo is a better daily than GT3. Love both

I was thinking you were not talking about the car for a second.

That's interesting. I do find it hard to get in and out of the 991, but I only have 14 way seats. It's so low to the ground that makes ingress and especially egress difficult for me. I figured the Lamborghini is lower?

I don't know how you can exercise restraint and not land in jail driving that thing.

Good that I don't have
$
Garage
Wife's approval
To get such a car.

If I ever own such a car, I will be in jail pretty quick.

It certainly takes some (a lot of) restraint to keep this one contained no doubt.

Congratulations. Absolutely stunning automobile.

I made the trek to the factory in Bologna last year. One the highlights of my stay in Italy so far.
