Oh hohohoho...them's fightin' words, Mister.



The fact that it can still hold it's own despite it's "tiny" engine on a track with some of the much-more $$$ cars means something IMO.

wow.. only the car in a ford focus stopped..

if i saw that i would pull to the side, get out my camera and start snapping like nuts..
i dont get it.. people in jersey would stop for anything.. they see a dead bird on the ground and we have a 2 hours hold up on the turnpike.. its freakin pathetic.

no, its two rabbits. The rabbits engine is a 2.5, the gallardo is a 5.0. Rabbit=5 cylinder, gallardo=10 cylinder. coincidence? i think not!









from that other thread, gallardos are especially prone to fires because of a bad engine design that kills sparks plugs. When a plug goes, the engine continues to pump oil into the cylinder. After some time, the unburned gas reaches the cat and starts a fire. I guess you really dont get what you payed for

That's California?! Here on the 405, people in the carpool lane would stop because there is a plastic bag floating around. And I think that Focus stopped only because of the sirens. I am amazed if that Gallardo burned here in California and there is no traffic.
