My first exotic car. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera!
 

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. 172 were produced, with 10 in white, 34 in grey, 37 in black, 45 in yellow and 46 in orange. As of yesterday evening, I own one of the 37.

Let me warn you, I'm going to be a little sentimental here. :)

I just got back from my first drive and I'm speechless. Physically, I'm still recovering from it all and my brain is trying to process the sound and speed. This is not a 997S. Everything from the way it looks and sounds and drives, it's a pure exotic. Driving this car is an experience.

Emotionally I can't even believe this is mine. I set a goal for myself when I was in college that by age 30 I would own a Ferrari. I'm a couple years early, and I went for a bull instead of a horse. I worked my butt off for every dime and for the first time I decided to really go all out and reward myself.

I'm humbled by this experience and I won't even try to hide it. I can't believe it.

Ok enough babble, you guys want pics. I have a video of it coming off the truck (I've always wanted to do this) and I'll upload it on youtube shortly. These pics are ok, MiniD is going to do a proper photoshoot next weekend.

I hope you enjoy, I really am at a loss for words (but look at how much i wrote). Also, I have the OEM SL wheels and plan on putting swapping them out so let me know if you want these wheels.

P.S. - The 997 is pending sale as we speak!

more pics!

congrats bro , enjoy it good health !! gorgeous machine .

Beautiful car. Put the stock wheels back on it pleeeeease!

Congrats man! That is a beautiful car to say the least! I made the same goal for myself with it being a Porsche and I'm on my third. I could only dream of owning a Lambo but that one is awesome.

Congratulations man!! I'm glad you finally did it. And an SL too!! :)

Awesome! I guess I'm against the grain here, but I love the wheels!

Stock Gallardo look X10. Either way, congrats on picking one of these beautys up, I can only imagine

Congrats man!!!! That's sweeet

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the kind words. I wake up each day and make up an excuse to go out to the garage to take a peak at the car. Do you guys ever do this or am I crazy? :) (I just added a video in the first post)

Here's the video of it coming off the truck. I'm still getting used to the extra attention. A car detail guy stopped and offered me his card as it was unloading. You can tell he was surprised it was mine. Hell, I'm even surprised it's mine. :)
