whatever. eye of the beholder stuff. they're too brutalist and angular for me. Astons, Ferraris, Maseratis are mostly beautiful and quite fast. Lambos, Mclarens, new Bugattis are functional-looking and very fast...
E type Jag was super fast. Some say it was the most beautiful car

ever

The E's always melted my heart (deep down a former/motor guy). I rode in an XKE once, that little short-stroke V12 sounded unearthly, to a guy used to V8s/6s. I understand that their big 6 was overall better. Big inline 6s often have more torque, as well.

I never could afford a real Jag, but went on a binge with several Datsun 240z. The IRS (EDIT: That is Independent Rear Suspension, for the tax-wary)  was a very sophisticated concept at the time. Only Jags and Corvettes had that, way back.  Straight 6, dual carbs, nothing at all like that fat and heavy 280zx that was popular. The first few 240s had more horsepower than cubes. That's easy now with computer motors, but astonishing for a factory car in '71-'72. Factory redline at 7k, just a cam and better breathing can give the stock motor 8500 rpm....

EDIT: I still have two '72s, the best year. When my ship comes in, they will live again. Nothing seriously wrong with them, they just need time, that I have to give to the slavery job now.

Ironic that everyone here wants a Lambo yet has utter contempt for Roger Ver and CSW:

The only two narcissistic shitheads in the crypto space that actually drive those tool wagons.    

Meh.  Theres a big big difference between wanting a Lamborghini and wanting to play along with a bet, which if it came to pass would be tremendously epic.

A simple 4 cyl diesel truck is my personal vehicular jam.

And I already own one.

Ive gone off the Lambo idea lately, they go on fire suddenly.

I have seen how many videos of it. Scary.

I think its because they use actual lava in the engine.

Anyway things happen to me. I would be the one.

I want a Mercedes G Wagon.

6x6, portal axles, forced induction?  Sure, I'll take one too.

WTF is that shit?? lol

Car history and a great V12 (Countach) engine. Just because you can. But the tires of this baby aren’t cheap and don’t start about fuel consumption  

But... but... what about aesthetics? That thing is one of the ugliest cars ever. A Lambo should be pretty. And sporty. Not like that ridiculous fat box on wheels. SCAM! SCAM! I WANT MY MERIT BACK! :_(

A secondhand ridiculous fat box on wheels could be worth more than the one you want.

A very special secondhand 1990 Lamborghini LM002 sold for $467,000 via RM Sotheby’s in New York.

This cheaper secondhand white version is for sale at $399,950.

The LM002 was about attitude and a lot of money. The rear ‘pick up’ section was actually seating for your quick response bodyguards. There were only a couple hundred made, perhaps they’d suit as access carriages for the $100k party?

Do they even do space travel?

Bitcoin is unfolding like the dotcom crash — just 15 times faster

Edit: Amazon crashed from a high of over $100, to a low of about $10 in 2000. 18 years later, they hit $1,578. If we apply the same recovery gain percentage to the recent bitcoin low of ~$6,000, and assume 15x recovery speed, we'd hit ~$946,000 in Apr. 2019. This is all based on questionable math and a clickbait article, but still fun to think about.

$946k per btc in about a year? if that comes true I will buy a lambo for everyone that merits this post.

Oh yes!  Why not!  I give you some Merits in exchange for a Lambo.. you can have all it all.

LOL. Do they ? TIL !

I think Goat drives one too, speaking of tool wagons.

Goat’s one started all this IIRC, but he didn’t drive it - he just containered it home to Thailand where he could sell it for a quick double

That is FUNNY!
I better start saving for the goats and trailer in case I get the Lambo from 600watt.

Time travel if you can swing it.

I hope I don't devolve into someone who would drive a Lamborghini. When I was 12 I might have wanted one.

Here I am just selling about $1k (in francs) worth of bitcoins here in Tahiti wondering if I could get a really cheap car for that much or if I should hold out and wait to see if I get another buyer to push me up to $1500. I'd do a scooter but I'm an amateur on those things.

Mining wasn't banned in Plattsburgh.  They will not allow new mining operations to use the subsidized local utility.  Maybe try getting a slight understanding of a topic before freaking out.

How stupid do you have to be to oversell your electricity when you have a fixed subsidised supply? Wtf did they think was going to happen? These guys are blaming Bitcoin, when it is their own economic competence at fault. I wouldn't be surprised if these protoplasmic jellies crawled out of lake Champlain.

Come on guyz...I'm sure the politician that decided to subsidize electricity had her heart in the right place. You can't expect unintended consequences to happen with government interference. This would be the first and only case where that has happened.

Did he rebuy?

My understanding is that he sold the first one after BTC had retraced, and spent the USD proceeds on hella more BTC than he spent on the Lambo to begin with.

'AAR, so I heard...'
