The only time I could imagine enjoying another Lamborghini is in a post-apocalyptic world where my lane takes up the entire freeway and my parking spots are no smaller than an aircraft hangar.

Otherwise, the reality of owning a Lamborghini in a city is worse than whatever event caused the aforementioned apocalypse.

You could say the same for any exotic. I wouldn't want to drive/park an Aston everyday in a crowded city either. These aren't commuter cars.

This is what I'd own if I had the stash, even if it is less valuable than a Miura. A car you drive comfortably and see out of easily.

That's very true. But I've founded Aston, Bentley and Ferrari a lot easier to "manage" in a crowded environment than a Lamborghini.

Lamborghini make amazing cars. No question. I'm just not a lambo guy

As a former Ferrari owner, it was the worst car I ever had to "manage" in a crowded environment. The car is very wide and the doors are huge so parking is a PITA. Everyone and their brother want to take pictures and ask you questions.

A local Gallardo owner met up with me a few times and when we were parked next to each other I thought the Ferrari got more attention. My car was black, his blue. I might be biased though

Nice looking car. That green is atrocious but I love the wheels.

Why can't something special be a daily driver too??

Here's another photo of the green one. I think it looks great. I've never been a fan of the color, but maybe it just looked good to me with the green grass backdrop. Also liked the green Dino, even though it is quite unusual.

I like green cars and back in 1974 Fiat offered the X1/9 in a bright shade which really worked with that vehicle. My Aston is green... but a different shade of green.
