How bad of an idea is a Lamborghini Gallardo?

Yeah, where I live exotics aren't that uncommon so he may not get as much attention as he would if he lived somewhere else. I hd no idea they were built in collaboration with VAG, interesting. 

The engine is two Jetta fives joined at the crank. 

Nothing new with them.  The Porsche 928 and 944 shared bore spacing and cylinder heads, even up to the DOHC models.

The Audi V8 used Audi or VW cylinder heads, etc.

it's only weird when you realize that outside of the US many companies do this.  In the US we don't because of the commonality of pushrods in our V8s.

As far as italian exotics go, the gallardo would probably be on the cheaper end since its basically an audi R8 underneath.  

Mark me in the "how hard could it be?" column.

Next question, what kind of jobs/careers yall have that allows you to purchase used Lambos, Ferrari's, and R8's? I'm still young, teach me lol

Hey, me too.  And I'm old.

Not a problem I'm going to have--figuring what Lambo to buy.

Diablo 6.0 SE with the Nissan 300ZX headlights, for me.

I know a guy who has a Lamborghini. He has five  of them, actually. He said that his clutch failed at 5,000 miles. He had it flatbeded back to the dealership and voiced his displeasure to the owner of the place. 

The dealership owner said, “Why did you buy a car like this? These cars are for pimps and drug dealers and athletes. If you want a car that you can drive, buy a Porsche. “

Did he then point out the irony of Ferrucio starting to build sports cars after a dispute with old man Ferrari over (IIRC) clutch issues on his recently acquired Ferrari?

Not this year. I'm just happy I haven't had to lay off any of my team. Many of my peers haven't been so lucky.

I'll have to look into that. I got offered a Sales position for a RPA company but I'm not done with the Air Force yet.
