See purchasing is one thing of these exotics but maintenance is another, i know they say if you worry about the maintenance then dun even buy it cuz you can't afford it... Dats y Audi seems like the best bet.. And personally i dun hate attention but at the save time i dun crave it either..... if i dun find the right color combo then i might look into a used Lambo (which kind? i have no idea)... i'll keep you "the Gurus" posted.

I am sure you could find a barely used Gallardo in your price range. I don't know Lambo's maintenance schedule but I understand that it is not nearly as expensive as Ferrari maintenance.

Kevin, one of my buds owns a Gallardo. If you want me to put you in touch with him, PM me. He knows everything Gallardo whereas I can only fantasize and read magazine articles.

Only thing that sucks about the lambo is if you don't get an LP-560 your M5 will be faster than it....trust me Maintenance is crazy on all these cars M5 included. If you wanna play you gotta pay.

I personally do not like the R8. I don't think it looks that sexy, which is why I think it didn't get much attention at the Exotics Rally.
you mean this R8?

I agree. Sorry I like to fantasize.

Murcielago. Three of my friends have LP-640's and they are all AMAZING!
