Murceilago as Daily Drive.
Discussion
If you can get past the cost and dimension issue, and have a nose lifting system to get you over the speed bumps, the only negative with the Murcielago that I can think of is that it is significantly more difficult to spell. Well possibly that plus all the time it would spend off the road whilst it's in for engine-out servicing....
Please check SimonSpider's various 'posts' here on PH and in evo over the last few years (and in LCUK's magazine as well...)
it's 'i' then 'e' an accented 'e' as well and spelt as it means - being the Spanish word for 'bat'... why Sant'Agata didn't call it the English word for 'bat' is a mystery, or even the Italian word...
Simon drove SG54 about half a billion leptons until he and Andy Cummings went halfers on a LP640 last year... which gets driven a very lot of muchness as well - they have a reputation to be maintained after all!
although, perhaps the Lamborghini Pipistrello wouldn't have sold too well... perhaps...

Surely the fuel used is a joke with the Murci when used as an everyday car and i remember EVO's long termer Murci had the most ridiculous of bills over the year.A friend ran a Gallardo for a year adding approx 6k miles and it cost practically nothing bar two rear tyres and 2 litres of Oil.
The Gallardo really is THE everyday supercar in my opinion.

My Gallardo 14,000 miles, two front, 4rear tyres and I average ~ 9mpg a day (sometimes in the evening I have got the computer down to 3mpg)+ lots of that AGIP oil which is not easy to buyThe Gallardo really is THE everyday supercar in my opinion.
I think the guy at Shell thinks I'm mad arriving there twice a week at 5.45am
I still drive the Orange one a lot..they are ok as a daily driver apart from the sheer size. Forget parking on a street and in a multistory. Speedbumps are ok as long as you use the standard lifting mechanism. However its very slow to lift on the Murcie whereas the LP640 is more or less instant. Biggest problem is the attention it attracts which is great for the first 2 weeks then (if you are trying to get from A to B) becomes tiresome. Depreciation? Well it happens only when you sell it. Which is why I still have mine although it still works for a living. I treat it like an old Aunt now (with about 70k on it) whereas the LP640 is only a teenager
