    People from Utah apparently. I wonder if you can get snow tires for an LP-640?

    He did 45 mph. That's not THAT fast. Black ice is pretty common this time of year too.

    I'd sell it too. $7,000/yr in taxes and insurance is ridiculous. Nice Prize you give away, store! :roll:

    If I won it I'd have to drive it for a few weeks before selling it, too. Seriously, how many people in the world can say they've driven a Lamborghini let alone say that they've owned one?

    He's a schmuck for driving it in icy conditions, but not for merely owning the thing. Hopefully, the car will get repaired and put back on the road.

    Oh, I'm sure it will. The dents are easily fixable, so is a pan and a tire. They just have to ship it from Italy, if they don't have it in stock.

    On a side note... Green??? Seriously??? :twisted:

    Yeah, probably not the best time of year to drive a Lambo in the northern climes but I gotta admit, I'd have probably taken it for a toot if I had just won it too 8)

    Nice bright colour. Easily visible on the road. Nothing wrong with that.

    The green-thing is likely just homage to the classic green of Lambourghini Miuras from back in the 70s, kinda like making the new Dodge Challengers in those hideous retro orange and purple colours.

    They don't come with slicks.

    In the end, it's a heavy car that should have no problem on ice, but black ice is a story that even the smallest Smart car can't defeat.
