Get a Gallardo with the quicitra diamond finish interior for the leather and carbon fiber.

Lambo, IMO. It's has been almost fully depreciated at this point. The R8's will drop in value next year when the V10 and TDI's come out. Chances are you will be board with it in 2-3 years and want to move on to something else so get the Lambo and enjoy it now.

I was merely expanding on a point you already made.

Thanks for comments guys. I'm just being self conscious about it but I want the G for sure. Now help me find one! 06 6MT coupe, white, black, or graphite.

Also I need to sell my car.

Think you're making the right decision. Lambo > R8 IMHO....

I really love the R8, but between those two, and especially if I was only gonna get one of them, I'd get the G also.

I'm 29 and live in ATL. Get the G; you'll be fine.

If it weren't for the shift in the economy, I had planned to own something similar by now. As it stands, I'm going back to school instead (or in light of, lol...).

Good luck on the sale of the 911 and in search of the G. I would consider e-gear, though.
