My first exotic - Gallardo SE

I took delivery of my G last Monday. I was more nervous than excited.

First couple days didn't go as smooth as I had hoped but nothing I couldn't handle. It came with the original battery which had issues with warm starts - cold starts was fine. Guess the Lamborghini dealership missed this on their inspection? I'll talk to them soon.

With the Lamborghini dealership now closed in Vegas I was a little frazzled with upcoming travel dates and trying to get the car running like it should before I left Vegas. I remembered some comments about Lamborghini techs having moved to Penske Wynn Ferrari so I had Encore concierge call them up. I spoke to Rich and Jose at Penske Wynn and they took me in immediately. Service and friendliness was top notch and they had me running the same day. I left it with them overnight though to clean the car of dust from the transport into Vegas.

I also want to thank Roy at Cats Exotics again in helping with advice in my dealings with the dealership. I completely recognize Roy's help was out of kindness since it was not his sale but he was fast with replies and very helpful with advice.

Anyways, here's a picture of the new toy.

Thanks guys!!

No big mods coming up. I was looking at the LOC exhaust but I think the rock guard on the front and a light tint will be first.

Congrats. Short of a Superleggera and 560, this is THE BEST Gallardo IMO. I would love to have it in my garage. Hopefully I will locate mine soon and have a post like yours. Drive in good health.
