TwilightChrome Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 No, I'm not looking to trade titles. I am looking to trade rides, you take me for a ride in your GT 500 and I'll take you for a ride in the Lambo. We each stay in the passenger seat, due to insurance regs I can't let you drive the Lambo (sorry, that part is non-negotiable). I'm part of an exotic car club and will have the Lambo for 5 days, next Wednesday 9/4 - following Monday. You: Own a 2007 - 2009 GT 500, pref with Stage II mods, pref a vert, in Massachusetts. Me: I'll have a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo spyder, black top. I think it's a 2005. I live in Bridgewater and work in Waltham. I'd like to see the GT 500 accelerate and corner a bit, no need to bury the spedometer, get buster for D2E, or crash it going crazy. A few quick 30 - 100 rips and some "spirited driving". I am thinking of buying a GT 500 within the next year and figured this would be the next best thing to a test drive. PM me if interested, thanks! -TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisssss Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 TC, great idea, too bad I'm not closer or I would be up for it in a heartbeat. Don't forget to tell us about the ride and your honest impressions when your get it all sorted out. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 If you were down here in Texas, I'd give you some "spirited" driving. Currently I'm just waiting for the roads to dry out a bit more before going for my usual Sunday morning drive at around 140-150mph. Speaking of that, I should go to the track today before the hurricane hits. Wonder if I can talk my wife into going with me to drive the support truck...eheheh.

TwilightChrome Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 OK BadBoy500 is a tentative yes, depending on his schedule. Still room for others, I would do more than one ride swap. Who else in MA/RI is interested? Picking up the Lambo tomorrow morning...

shack Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm in southern New Hampshire and do a lot of stuff around the 128 belt. I'd love a ride in a Lambo, but not sure about scheduling as I might be out of town for the weekend, but could work something. My GT500 is straight stock however. and a coupe.

Shack Shack: I am also in southern New Hampshire, about 20 miles inland from the coast. There are two red coupes in my town, one being mine. I just saw a grabber orange coupe on the road last week. If I am not mistaken, it had the stripe delete option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Blue/White coupe, so that wasn't me. Also saw another Blue/White, a Black vert and a GT-H in my area. Also heard someone else has an SS and a KR in the pipeline.

TwilightChrome Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I am totally cool with a ride in a stock GT 500 coupe as well, I think it would be an interesting contrast to see stock vs modded. I'm not hung up on convertible, etc so you guys in NH, if you'll be in the Waltham area tomorrow or Friday (mornings best) please pm me and we'll meet up. I might be up near 495 in Maynard, MA around dinner tomorrow too. Got the car this morning, went on some quick rips with it with friends and business associates. The Lambo is a very fun car and quite a head-turner. -TC Picture of the car this morning - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joked with a guy at work (Audi) that we should start a Car Quarterly, where 4 guys swap cars every 3 months. There were no worries about insurance, relative value, winter months, etc. - because it was all in our heads. Is your setup something like that? Or you just get together and take each other for a spin? I wouldn't mind some details, if you wouldn't mind sharing. Living vicariously through others, and all that... I hope you guys have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you guys have a great time! The Otto Club (http://www.theottoclub.com/) is a for-profit venture in Boston. I joined the club a few years ago. You pay a flat fee and get points each year. You use up points taking cars out, points used faster on more expensive cars, weekend days, prime season; fewer points used on less expensive cars, weekdays, off-season. They rotate cars in the collection, so for a little less than you'd pay to make payments on one car, you get to drive about 8 per year. You post a security deposit and carry 250/500 insurance, they take care of the rest (gap insurance, all costs of car, etc). Basically schedule when you want a car, or ask what's available last minute. Pick up the car, it's detailed and ready to go. They take your car and detail it while you have the exotic. In the last few years I've gotten to drive a couple Ferrari's, Lambo's, Aston Martins, Bentleys, Maserati's, etc. It's been a lot of fun, but if I were to buy a car it would much more likely be in the GT 500's price range.

TwilightChrome Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I had a great day as well, a lot of fun! A big "Thank you" to BadBoy and his family for coming out, they are a great bunch of people and I was very glad to meet them. After the ride, it is a matter of "when" not "if" I'll get a GT 500. Some people had asked me how the cars compare, etc. I think BadBoy summed it up well, the Lambo is a smooth ride with lots of top-end speed, and it handles/corners like a dream. The GT500 (especially his) has jaw-dropping, slam you back in the seat power and is the epitome of American Muscle. It requires a lot more skill to drive than the Lambo (e-gear) and is faster off the line. It is a great-looking car as well, much more practical for the driving in Massachusetts, and considering the price point I think there's no contest. GT 500 by a mile. If you live in Germany off the Autobahn and have $30M in the bank, maybe the Lambo makes more sense. I'm going to start saving my allowance. Looking forward to posting in the arrival forum someday.

EXPcustom Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I actaully raced one of these brand new Lambos in black the other week near Los Altos were alot of Silicon Valley big wigs live. I stayed right next to him but he got the jump on me as I was really not expecting him to race me. I figured if he is risking his 300,000 dollar car I will risk the ticket. Mind you I was stock so with a few mods I should have taken him off the line.
