Thanks. Out of curiosity, what is the first?

Very different but completely fun and ridiculous in its own way. I think that the Gallardo is the best sports car available right now. They are reliable, they handle amazingly well, they are easy to use in virtually any situation, and they are just great cars. The Murcielago is a completely different animal. The revvy nature of the engine is very unique compared to the torque that the Gallardo builds so early. The drama and excitement of driving the big car is very cool and nothing really matches it. The presence of a Murcielago is something that nothing else can really come close to in my opinion. The steering is completely different, tuned for very high speed maneuvers. The seating position is much more comfortable for me at 6'5" than I ever am in a Gallardo. I love the power and the V12 scream and I love the mechanical simplicity of the car. Not nearly as computerized as everything today.

The difference in the attention that the two cars get is also much greater than I had expected. It gets more attention than anything else that I have driven, short of a Verde Ithaca Murci. I think it is probably due to the fact that in the Atlanta area there are about 40 Gallardos and only 7 other LP640's (LP640′s in Georgia | Ed Bolian)

I have always and will always love the LP640 Roadster. It looks like you've got a great example there and the colour's great. Enjoy it!

Thanks. I could have been swayed to Telesto or Rosso Vik but I am really glad that I held out for orange. I love it.

Thanks. Looks like a rainy weekend here in Georgia but hopefully I will get a chance to put a few more miles on it.

The car is doing great. Have it in to fix a couple of things today - the fuel door is not locking (preferable to not unlocking, but still worth fixing) and a couple of other minor things. I am loving the car. We had some pretty serious rain here on Friday so I had the top on for the weekend. It was a bit of a hassle to get on because it had not been on the car in a couple of years but it worked fairly well. It leaked a bit around the A pillars but it was not an issue to wipe up a bit of water when I got to my destination.

I bought a set of Hercules wheels and am having them painted Titanium this week. They should be done in a couple of days. Can't wait to get them on and have the car exactly the way that I have always wanted it.

Thank you for all the kind words. Have a great day everyone.
