I Think I'm in Love with Lamborghini Again?

The Lamborghini Miura, the Countach, the Diablo, these are the Lambos that I drooled over.  I never got into the Gallardo or Aventador.  If it's possible they somehow seemed "generic" to me.  

But the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto brings back the excitement with a V-12 EV assisted rocket that has 1001 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds.  The electric motors are up front, so the V-12 shares space in with back with a brand new transmission.

Now I admit when I first saw the pictures I thought I was looking at a McLaren which isn't bad, but when you see the air intakes on the fenders and turn it around and see those two exhaust tips right in the center of the tail that thought exits your mind.  This is defiantly a Lamborghini.  

With a price tag of half million PLUS some I don't need to worry how I'll fit one in my garage. But I look forward to seeing them at local car shows and maybe hearing one roaring around Toronto.

The Dream: 1968 Lamborghini Miura S

I'm not complaining, I have a couple nice cars.  Certainly nice enough to be happy.  But it doesn't stop you from dreaming of something more.  So what are my dream cars?  The Lamborghini Miura is almost the ultimate for me, and watching an episode of Harry's Garage inspired my to write this.

I love speed but I find when I think what would be the ultimate I tend to dream of beautiful cars rather than fastest.  For me one of the most beautiful is the 1968 Lamborghini Miura S and the Harry's Garage video highlighted one of the best examples. The blue interior is a little weird but still.  Those body lines, the headlights, the clam shell hood and boot.  Just amazing.  I'll link the video below.

Lambo To Be Crushinated

My Hummer H3 has earned the nickname the Crushinator after Futurama Bender's dream girl. Why? Well I have never ran over anything in my driving history. But since I got the Hummer I have crushed a squirrel and an entire Canadian goose. So yesterday when I saw this lambo ahead of me it crossed my mind how easily I could ruin his day. Lucky it didn't happen. No crushination.
