Moving forward 3 and a bit years and making more money, I tackled a gallardo which was ironic because I was making 3 times as much money but I decided on a car that was 3 times cheaper in price.

I only had it a few months and sold it because I didn't like the car. It wasn't a bad car at all, it just wasn't what I had built it up to be in my head and it fell short of my expectations. I also knew that the costs in my first year were going to be $15,000ish to fix some things that were ready to be done.

I did a lot of research before buying my car which was through 6speed online and they were saying expect to pay about $5 per mile if you factor in gas insurance and upkeep of the car.

It's like any high priced special item. Take a boat for example. A boat for a million dollars isn't what I'd worry about. It's everything else.

If you're buying this kind of car, you better be making some serious money and I'm not talking about $80k a year (unless you're living at home which is another story in itself).

i'd think a R8 4.2 would be a better buy than gallardo.. cheaper to run and maintain too!

not to mention its more comfortable for daily! (i've driven both)
