I use to have a Ferrari Dealership and like the Lambo incident getting called names is the norm

Never happens with with the Astons or the FGT.

I looked at one of these before buying the S
The audiesque and cramped interior put me off
Along with the lack of space for luggage on a tour
And the reception as others have said.

To your question: Not in the slightest.

I have one of those bright yellow Gallardos and have for over 2 years now. I live in a moderate sized city in Tennessee and have not had a single person say anything negative to me yet, but have had multitudes take pictures, give thumbs up and ask question after question when I stop at a gas station or restaurant. I have let many kids sit in it while mom took pictures of their smiling child. I'm sure there are ones that would wish me harm, but after they hear my enthusiasm for the car and total lack of "being a jerk" attitude that I have witnessed some exotic car owners display, they end up asking questions like everyone else. I try to remember the excitement I felt as a younger child/adult when I would see an exotic car and treat them like I would have wanted to be treated. I have a '13 V8V on order and look forward to being open to others inquiries on it as well.

I took out a Gallardo Spyder on a test drive and had a woman in a new corsa wave her arms at me frantically pointing, smiling and it seemed in genuine appreciation. I was surprised and almost help sell the car to me - but the interior is not special enough IMHO and it wasn't as fast as I was expecting.
That would be the dealers wife. yes

Actually all having a Lambo screams is 'I have a Lambo'. I make no further judgements as I could consider a Murcielago in later life yes

It's like stereotyping DB9 owners as incontinent, Bentley CGT owners as tasteless footballers or Range Rover Sport owners as drug dealers. A few are, the vast majority aren't smile

Would I want one? Yes
Can I afford one? No frown

Although I'd want a black coupe instead of a convertible...

I nearly bought one but plumped for a 430 instead.
I think they're great cars and they look awesome (especially in orange!).
Not sure about yellow though. Never liked yellow on cars. Bananas yes, cars no.

Mr. Gould: I am a physician and have seen a thousand penises in the past 27 years and mine is at least average thank you very much. And the rest of my life is great and God has blessed me greatly. I am sure there are plenty of Lambo and F car (and Aston I'm sure)owners who fit your stereotype, but from my experience it is nowhere near all of them. Take some time to get to know some of those owners and you may be surprised.

Dr Tim old chap......the purpose of the smiley face after a post is to signify that it's a tongue in cheek comment.......I don't really think that owners of Lambos have small appendages .......just that I'm not a huge fan of that Italian Marque smile


Ps.......and anybody over the age of 50 driving one is a big Knob smile

Well, I would love a Lambo, but a murci or an aventador. I love them. I've not really heard owners getting such abuse though, I thought that was reserved for Ferrari drivers?

At the end of the day, I'll never be able to afford to own a Lambo, Ferrari, Aston, so it doesn't really matter what I think. I'll just have to be content with making them shiny instead.

My pal is 51, when he arrived my Mrs said "what a knob". So it appears you're spot on there Mike.

Apparently a similar rule applies to convertibles. All convertible drivers are either women, or of questionable sexual preference.
Astons are exempt from this rule as all Aston drivers are gentlemen thus removing any confusion.
So I'm told.

Although sadly even with convertible Astons, no matter how manly you actually are, two men in one ALWAYS just looks a bit.... "ginger beer"
