Have you ever seen a Murcielago yet?

I've seen, maybe a dozen Daiblos, so I think that that isn't a fair contest. But what about Lambo's newest baby (besides the one that isn't on the street yet)? I've seen 3. And one is kinda funny.

I saw two at the L.A. Auto show, at the Beverly Hills Supercar gallery, and that really doesn't count.

But, in the month that it came out to America (the same month that Eminem music video with a yellow one came out) I saw a yellow one go through the Wendy's drive through! I kid you not. Too bad I was on the other side of the road, walking to McDonalds.

Anyways, ever come across one of these Beuties?

I have never seen a Lamborghini other than at a dealership or an auto show but I have seen Ferraris a lot whenever I go downtown Chicago. Usually 360 Spiders or 456s, but I did see a 550(or 575M I can't tell the difference) for the first time on the road. Lamborghinis are incredibly rare around here but I am hoping to get my own soon.

Not in real life I think I saw a Diablo once, but I'm not positive.

I saw a yellow Diablo SV99 tuned by Giancarlo Breveglieri in a hotels parking lot. The owner came out and wanted to enter in the carwash near the hotel but he didn`t make it there because the pavement at the carwash was higher than the front spoiler (hah...).
That was one of the coolest things I saw in my life and I will never forget the sound of the "free flow" exhaust.

To see a Diablo GT would be incredible.

Agreed, but I think owning one would be better

I work in downtown Chicago, one of the richest sections of town, Oak & Michigan Ave. For the most part, the exotics you see here are Ferrari 360s, 550/575s, and Aston Martins. Once in a while a Maserati comes around. Other than that, it's a steady diet of Porsche's, Bimmers and MBs. Anyhow, I saw a dark blue Murcielago come flying down the street, and the sound of the engine/exhaust was right up there with all the Ferraris i've ever seen. It was one of the most intoxicating sounds i've ever heard in all my life. So far that's the only Murcielago i've seen actually being driven by someone. The only other one i've seen was an orange one on a flatbed towtruck at O'Hare airport. This was right around the time they were released here last year, so it may have been on it's way to a dealer. Or, more likely knowing Italian cars, it was on it's way to the mechanic

Yeah, Bentley Gold Coast on Rush just got that in stock. I was wondering which shade of blue it was. It sounds like you work in the Bloomingdales building.

I saw one - it was yellow, one road away from my house, in London. Beautiful car, so distinct from standard econboxes - the wide track, wide tires make it stand out.

Bloomingdales is a block south at Walton & Michigan (900 N Michigan). But anyway, it was a darker blue Murci that went flying by.
Today i was making a pickup outside St. John's at 919 N Michigan, and a sweet looking, orange Diablo cruised by slowly. A few minutes later, i was outside Gibsons/Hugo's Frog Bar on Rush, and one of the valets was parking a dark blue Ferrari 360. Damn the exhaust/engine sounds on the 360 are beautiful as hell. It was nice that the valet was trying to show off, acting like he was hot shit behind the wheel, cuz i love the tone of an Italian engine. If i ever won the lottery, i don't know what i would get. A Lambo or a Ferrari.

I'm still waiting to see my first Gallardo. I think the Murci looks good, but the Gallardo looks way better, even though they look somewhat similar. I think the styling is better suited to the Gallardo's dimensions.
