I am really close to pulling trigger on Aventador

I had the 3rd Aventador imported into the US (flown in) and delivered in Oct 2011. It's a fun car, but I only kept it a few months (although I did put 2,000 mi on it including 300mi at Road Atlanta). It is definitely more of a showpiece than a drivers car. I've also owned a white 2008 Superleggera and a 2011 LP570. I think you will find that the 2008 SL you had is more fun to drive than the Aventador--as is the FGT. If you do wind up scratching that itch, definitely buy a 2012/2013 (coupe) model as they are beginning to depreciate. The Roadsters are still trading above sticker and will be for awhile. I have several friends with Aventadors right now and they seem to love them. They are a great bunch of guys and are not pretentious or stand-offish at all. I find the Ferrari guys to be much fuller of themselves as a whole. Good luck!

Few men on their death bed say I shouldn't have spent that money on
Lamborghinis, Super-Models, or great travels

If you don't; it will be spent on aluminum siding

Buy it, drive it, enjoy it, and when done sell it or garage queen it- Simple as that, good luck !

That is hilarious!!!! But how do you give one if you don't give a ... There is a lather rinse repeat cycle that would have to be broken to send it as a gift.

I plan to enjoy this car since I don't my others. So too much money for a car I am going to put miles on?

Why is it this one will be different than the other cars you don´t put miles on? If I wanted an awesome sports car that would be great to put many miles on, I really don´t think a Lambo would be the first I thought of ..... unless you wan´t to make a statement to the people looking .....

Well my, "put miles on" would be less than 1000 to 2000 per year max. And that would be only if there was a few road trips in there. So I could pick one up with 2000 miles and in 2 years trade up with no more than 5000 miles on it.

I guess you've already decided you're not going to fall in love. So, the Aventador is a hooker equivalent. :lol

A very, very expensive hooker.

Well, at some time in our lives we have all had to pay for it:thumbsup

I shouldn't let that stop me now

In the end, none of us can gurantee ANYTHING with regard to our grandkids...but, referencing the above, I can honestly say, "I did my part"! I owned/rode a '76 "Low rider" 'back in the day' (and I have pics of my eldest daugher riding with me on same!). 'Nice scoot!

 

[BlackICE]

I'm going to guess both of my boys don't even know what a Harley is. If I am still alive to see grandkids I don't think they will know either, unless Harleys are electric by then.

 

[txviper]

Well, I made an offer. We will see what happens!

And it's all your fault. All this talk about life is too short!

Best of luck ..... Next challenge will be to put on all those miles :biggrin:thumbsup

 

[roketman]

How about this one?

 

[txviper]

That would be awesome!! I would get into a lot of trouble with that car considering it would have to make a few runs on the street.

 

[MNJason]

Did they accept your offer?

Not on that one, it was on consignment and the owner didn't go for it. However the salesman called a guy that they originally sold a car to that was exactly what I wanted. Made a deal pretty quickly and I picked it up while I was at TX2K. After Rays passing it made me get off my ass and pull the trigger as life is truly too short. Quick phone pic
