man that sucks!!!!! i was wondering what had happened with you r car....guess nothing wtf!
will a t56 bolt up lol

That's really funny Rick, but its not. Hate to hear all the crap you had to go through.





So is Lotus amazing, or shit? Or just some amazing shit?

its like Lamborghini, amazing shit thats amazingly shitty

well my cars gone till probualy about July

when they put the clear bra on they didnt let it cure for 30 days and messed up the paint so they are going to repray it again and let it cure.

I think my car caught something from being in Rick garage
Theyve had my car since like late Feb or early March

Im asking for a loaner, we shall see what I get. Hopefully oa LP640 or Gallardo ....or atleast a Lotus

get a Phantom as a loaner!

I dont think they sell RR

it would be pretty funny though, I would park it out infront of my home for the month since it wont fit in my garage
or next to the van

you know, I havent really driven the Diablo since like Aug or Sept of last year. Just a handful of times to move it around to cycle the fluids since then
Im Rick Jr at this point
atleast for the last 3 months it doesnt matter that theyve had it since its either been raining or Im working

So does this mean that you won't get you Diablo back until Lamborghini Chicago goes out of business?

Haha ^


And I thought they did have RR, oh well

So all that talk about Carmel Artomobilia was just ...... talk?

fock!!
when is that??
dont make me have them ship it down here, roll it off the trailer for the show, and roll it right back on and up to Chicago again lol

You don't have to go to those extremes. I can just take a picture of my plaque and blow it up for you to put on your wall.

LOL!!!

One unfortunate Gallardo transmission.... $31,000

Two crappy Diablo paint jobs, clear bras and service.... 4 months.

William offering his show plaque to Dan... PRICELESS!

it gets better

Now I gotta pay for the paint job. They orginally tried to charge me $3600 after they told me it would be $2400, the finally agreed to let me pay 2400, lucky me.
Last week John was so sorry for everything he not to worry about anything and I didnt have to worry about the bill, SUPER!, now hes saying he didnt say that.
Im not one to mishear that Im getting something for free for all this crap
but Im ok with having to pay, afterall I am getting a freshly painter bumper and what not, no way in hell am I paying anymore though for all these mistakes.
now, I had wanted a loaner, now that Ive lost 3 great months of driving due to their mistakes Im going to freaking DEMAND it. they did offer to pay for a rental car for me , they didnt like my idea of renting a Lambo for 3k/day

hes trying to call around ahook me up with a Lotus now after denying me a LP640, Superleggera, Ford GT, and Bentley Arnage. Time to yell at the GM I guess

I still like John though, so hopefully everythign works out

Lexus now says they ARE GOING TO RELEASE the LF-A. Estimated price ~$200k, 50 units produced, 550hp V-10.

Apparently they weren't happy with the 199 mph top speed, so the delay in development was due to tweaking of the aero which now yeilds a 216 mph top speed which is good enough for a Toyota.

Betch ya it starts every time, the syncros won't grind and the only time it goes to the dealer would be an oil change. Oh, kind of like my NSX.

theyre actually gonna release that??

I smell a flop
no poser will buy a paddle shifter toyota, they buy the ferrari and lambos


btw, the lotus is out now

they are sending a Ford GT on Monday


or so they say.......

Red is the fastest.

oh the unmatched reliability and sleepless nights those car have caused for ferrari that emurse the pic!!

you have great taste!!

they're sending me an all red one btw

OMG!!!

http://www.auction123.com/showroom/Lamborghini_Chicago/2008...ler=7913&wait=false

BUY IT ASAP!

no way in hell am I paying 180k for a car that probualy worth 150k cause it only has 100 miles on it

Ive seen similar selling around 160 and with so very few people wanted a 6 speed its worth even less for some reason. Ill go test drive it and make an offer and maybe they will bite......then again I may be smitten with the FGT.

maybe say bye the NSX and Diablo and hello to the FGT and SL

Nevermind. Don't want to piss anyone off.

Rick,
Since I last heard anything about the car, you had a track day event.

Did the trans do ok at that?

I got back from Pocono a week ago.. Car did OK, but 3rd gear is still screwed up. Fortunately the track at Pocono doesn't require a lot of gear shifts. There's only one down shift (6th to 2nd) when you pull into the infield off the back stretch of the NASCAR track. From that point it's all upshifts.

I think I may have fallen off the radar screen at Lamborghini, so it's time to start making more noise. They're hoping I'll just "go away".

dont take it to Chicago, well for body work. I think the service they did was good, but I havent driven it yet
