Good lord. What an idiot. That beautiful car shouldn't even know it's cold outside. It's not his driving skills, it's the moronic soccer mom/dad who thinks that the snow setting on their SUV means they can drive like they do in summer that's the problem.

*nsfw

Still a beautiful car.

That hurts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love the Gallardo. It's one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. And it's a crappy Lambo that's been redesigned by German engineers, so like they put it on Top Gear: "It's like a Lamborghini, but the air-conditioning works."

However, I love the fact that it's properly pronounced: "gay-ardo." I just picture all these macho dicks, driving around in their yellow sports car, showing off, yet trying desperately to ignore the fact that when they were at the dealership, everyone kept saying how great they would look, "In your new 'Gay-ardo!' That 'Gay-ardo' looks great on you! It's like the 'Gay-ardo' was made for you!"

In fact, I'd bet that at dealerships here in America, they're probably forbidden from using the proper pronunciation. Can't you just picture it? "I know guys, but if we pronounce it that way, we're never going to attract the macho-dickhead customers that keep us in business..."

Some guys will argue to the death about the proper pronunciation of "Jaguar", but there seems to be an unspoken agreement among most Lambo fans that a Gallardo is a "Gall-ardo".

I would've given anything if they drove by the accident in the video and said: "Man, that's a shame, it's such a beautiful 'Gay-ardo'." Of course, for all I know, the guy is comfortable in his sexuality, but I doubt it.

Am I the only one who thinks the Veyron is terribly ugly? I cringe whenever I hear people call it beautiful. Eye of the beholder etc etc, but to me its just the embodyment of excess. If it were a person it would be a fat oil tycoon dressed up in expensive clothes with gawdy gold necklaces and giant diamonds on his fingers. Beautiful?


I think the thing is that it's as much a monument to engineering as to excess. The amount of work and refining that has to go into creating one of these things do what it can do is immense.

1:56 .. Wow .. really beautiful car.

i won't disagree with 50 miles being bad but the tesla is an idea or optimistic view of the future. knowing that you can build a beautiful car that is electric. they did build a sports car so in a court of your expectations they our guilty. its failings to me are nothing more then short comings of the true nature which is an independent car company showing the world that electric car can be made and it doesn't look like something "Doc" created that no one would drive.

beautiful car, and a video that makes me want one!

In 1955, most cars had FINS, for goodness' sake. It's not an incredibly beautiful car by today's standards in my opinion, but nothing else from its era even comes close.

I don't think it is a beautiful car at all. But then I am not a car person.
