Smoking. Thanks to a reader for sending: “If I owned it, I think I would splurge for valet instead of street parking, but maybe that’s just me. T Street between 13th and 14th.”

if you’ve ever driven one you’d quickly know how shitty they are, loud in the cab and very weak on amenities. same with porsche and mclaren.

  Something with 500+ horsepower is loud? You don’t say!

    Yeah, but when are you going to use all those horsies? If you’re going to put up with interior noise and bare bones interior, there are plenty of single props that are less expensive and lots faster.

Maybe s/he can afford it precisely because s/he chooses street parking instead of the splurges?

  Or their parents didn’t give them enough cash for valet when handing them the keys for the night.
Epic Fail

A little difficult to tell from this photo, but this appears to be a first generation Lamborghini Gallardo. These were manufactured between 2003 and 2008. There were a number of special editions of this car made, but I think this is the stock coupe with the 5 liter V10 engine producing just over 500bhp.
Prices for used ones range from $60k to $125k (special editions and convertible spyder models fetch a little more).

  Thank you for identifying it. For those of us that are “car-challenged”, we appreciate knowing what we’re looking at.
