Finally someone actually tells the truth about how much money it costs to run an exotic car. No $20,000 brake jobs? No $15,000 clutch changes? No $1000 oil changes! Thanks for this vid!
I like your videos, very humble, honest. My clutch broke at 30,000 miles, it was funny because reverse was not working and I had to wait until the people are not looking to push it back lol!
hello peter, im 17 years old and i live in jamaica, yes i get that you might think wow i live in paradise or something like that because i get that all the time. but no where i live its not really anything close to being paradise and it sucks. my family isnt poor or anything but we still struggle with living costs and it really hit us hard over the summer because my parents are now retired and now im in college and without income its tougher. i was very inspired by your documented video when you purchased your lamborghini and it made me realize that all is not lost for me to pursue buying my dream car as well which is a Nissan GTR Nismo edition and black edition i know it sounds crazy that i want two but ever since i saw the gtr i knew that thats the car i want in my drive way. i just want to say thank you for helping me not give up on my dreams even though things are looking south at the moment. i apologize if my english language is slightly off here in jamaica our native language is broken african and english mashed together called patois lol thanks again
just remember not to be an employee. at all costs do not become an employee. Even if you make 100 grand a year as an employee you're still making your boss like 2 million dollars. Go to college learn how to create businesses, and create your own businesses after college. That is the only way you can own an expensive car and enjoy it.
Victor Hernandez in actuality ive been turning my hand and getting them wet in the whole owning/running my own business thing and its not really what im going to school to study im studying pharmaceutical but honestly i think i have a really good business mindset and understanding of the concept i dont think i should have a problem in the future
+sanjay STEAL I have no idea what that guy meant when he said "own your own business". I think if you were a pharmaceutical worker you could easily save enough money in a year or two. It's not like employees don't get money.
***** well good luck man!! Hope everything works out in your favor, and if it doesn't just remember to not give up because it is impossible to beat a man who never gives up. I believe you will own a gtr in the future. Good luck and good bye!!
when started to talk about haters I just started to love you Pete... I will follow you now. you motivate me too keep on on my path. I just bought my dream car the new CLS but of course the Lamborghini has been a dream since I was a kid and first saw the Countach... Now I have my life and business in Thailand and everything there is so fn expensive. the cheapest Galardo there that I could find was a 2009 for USD 300.000 . I know that seems insane but I just bought the CLS for 130 grand and I now know that I can fn do it. I loved this video thanx Chris
F those haters bro i support and am happy for you. Lamborghini is my dream car and i hope to have one after i build my custom home first in the next few years. So thumbs up to you!!!!
I enjoyed your honesty about ownership and experiences. Most important you come across as a decent man that enjoys fun cars cause life is too short not to. Im buying an 08 Gallardo Spyder with a 6 speed gated shifter and I can't wait. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I think you have a very healthy approach to dealing with some of the negativity that you've encountered. It really does have a lot more to do with their insecurities. Glad you're enjoying your dream car. I wish everyone could experience that same feeling.
Thank you so much for posting these vids Peter! As a junior in high school your vids motivate me so much to go on and get a high level of education and work my ass off to get to the point where I'm as successful as you are.
Wow its been a year of you owning the lambo already???? i remember when i first found your buying a lamborghini documentary like 3 days after you posted it! Its been a video i watch monthly to help keep my on track for saving up for my dream car! keep up the awesome work man!
What's funny about the haters is that the 2004 Gallardo really isn't all that expensive to buy. I found one for 90k. Clean title, looks good but does have 65k miles so its been driven more than all the others you'll find.
+Peter Beattie's Garage, I've watched through your series of Lambo videos starting with your "Buying a Lamborghini Gallardo" documentary. Just that alone was really fascinating to me, but your other videos about how it's been to own a Lamborghini and how you came to buy it offered really cool insight too - not to mention how inspiring it was. I just wanted to say way to go. You pursued a dream and succeeded in realizing that dream - something not many people can claim! And you've got some great stories along the way; thanks for video taping them! I've become a huge fan of Lamborghini over the past years, it was a legendary car from childhood in the days when my step-brother and I were playing with hotwheels, and it's really cool to see someone who has brought the concept of owning a supercar like this down to earth. Thanks so much for these, and keep it going!
Great video man, screw the haters. Hell, I look up to you. You're young, look like a hard worker, speak the truth and OWN A LAMBO. I'm 17 and I promised myself to own a Lamborghini as well. Before 30 of course (;
insurance on a lmabo wouldnt be to high because not many of them get in accidents, usally they sit in a garage and only get 2-10k miles per year so insurance companies are not worried about them, they worry more about the 1996 honda civic some 16 year old is going to drive
I appreciate u making this video I been wanting Gallardo for a while still do and i think I will be getting one this year your video has helped me make my mind up thanks
very helpful information, thank you. I'm looking into 2007 Gallardo spider with very seriously right now, and your video just convinced me to go for it. I will watch this again with my wife tonight hopefully for her approval. wish me luck:)
I 100% love your comments on haters! So very true. I believe haters aren't so much jealous (suggesting they want one too) as they are insecure, as you mentioned in your video. "Haters" have their own insecurities about others having one and thinking they are lesser than you because you have one (whether it's a super car, nice house, vacation). Even though, as you said, it has NOTHING to do with them, but just something you simply want to enjoy. Keep enjoying!!
Some things I think would be a good add to this video or a future one. What does your wife think of the car? What about your parents? Nice video man. Way to keep your head up!
Nice bro, i'm on the market for an Aventador LP-740. And yes i'm a high school drop out. If you work hard. Nothing is impossible. The thing is, people tend to give up before they see the end goal.
First hand experience from a HWBO (hard working business owner) as well, haters will always hate. Live life the way YOU want, work hard so YOU can buy what YOU want, be true to yourself, and you can sleep well at night.
thanks for the videos and thanks for all your inspiring stories. because of your videos. I have decided to work harder so that I can achieve my goal of owning a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
I say well done to you Pete!! How can anyone hate on him? He seems like an alright guy, and worked hard to buy something he is passionate about. Fuck the haters!!
keep doing what you do Peter! don't listen to haters! I feel happy that recently I was able to buy a BRZ under my name for the first time lol, and its the best feeling lol. Not a super car but making it my track/summer car. You are humble and great that a car doesn't make you change, instead it makes you be who you are. I admire cars in general, running into your vids its inspiring to work hard every day.
Sick Video Bro! I've had my new Gallardo for about 2 weeks (more or less) so far, and this video you did totally nails it :) We'll get together soon and have the lambos meet!
Great video! If this dude would've let me test drive a yellow 2004 Gallardo, I wouldn't have bought a 2015 GT3. Rolled in there with a newer GT-R, too. Whateves, I'll eventually own either this or a Huracan eventually.
Great video Peter! You are doing an awesome job showing kids as well as adults that their goals are not impossible to reach. It is also very cool to see this unspoken side of Lamborghini Ownership that the average viewer never knows about. I have a huge amount of respect for a smart business owner such as yourself who is willing to his passion with others. Keep up the work, you are inspiring more people than you probably realize!
Great video very informative, I have a 1998 Viper GTS and I can relate to so much of your experience with dealing with people acting different to you because of the car you drive.
Hey man! Really really great video, it's very informative !! I'm on my way buying one but I'm stuck between Audi r8 or lambo. What you personally think? Thank you for reading
Great video ! It's really interesting to have your point of view because you worked hard for it and we now know how it costs to run the Gallardo. Thanks !
Love your videos. I am inspired by how laid back and cool you are. One side note though, You don't have to be a "business owner" to be able to afford a car like this. I work for a large company as an Accountant and at 25 years old I have an M3, 5 series and I own a condo. By 30 I am confident that I will have a vehicle such as this one....Keep up the good work though my man.
Thanks for making these videos. The hater statements are 100% correct!!! Also the paranoid about parking is extremely understandable. When we cruise we always go somewhere to eat where we can see our vehicles.
Excellent documentary of getting the LG / and a year later!! I had a somewhat similar story (on a different scale) many years ago, bought a brand new vehicle of my dreams and had it paid off by the age of 25. I really enjoyed your story, and the honest and humble commentary. Your head and your heart are in the right place, you have an incredible car, and you deserve it.
I would have assumed the running costs would have been incredibly Expensive! The gallardo is my dream car so the minute I see a video from you in my sub box its the first thing I go to! keep up the good work and enjoy the car!! :)
Because your profile pic is about Minecraft or something like that, I'll guess that you're about 11. The Gallardo is already 11 years old at least, and when you're old enough to afford one (earliest about 25 probably) it will be like 25 years old, and will be very outdated. At the moment of course it's a nice car and you can have it as your favourite car, but if you mean dream car as in buying it when you get older, I would start for example looking at the Huracan. Good luck.
Peter i love your videos man you are such an inspiration to me watching your videos pushes me and lets me know it is possible for anyone to get their dream car! keep up the good work man!
Hey Peter, I saw a few of your videos a long time ago and thought they were pretty motivational. I just realized you had subscribed to me on this channel. Just thought I'd say thanks! Between you and Rob Dahm, you have inspired me to create my own business to work toward one of my dream cars, a first gen Gallardo. I plan to remake my channel soon doing motovlogs and maybe throw in some corvettes here and there. Anyways, keep up the good work and keep motivating!
Like enthusiasts in other realms I find most owners of exotic cars to be crazy enthusiastic about their cars. They're often quite excited and are more than happy to tell you about what ever it is they own. Especially at a car show or club activity where they have the time. I get a big kick out of it as they have a measure of happiness in owning their cars. Same for me, an Alfa GTV6 owner.
Peter, I've watched a very brief amount of content you post and you seem like a really great dude! Don't worry about people hating on what you do or the life you want to live man, you're doing it right! Although I don't see a Lamborghini in my near future I really enjoy the car and your commentary. Keep doing what you do!
+Peter Beattie's Garage That is a good car, also you can go for a limited edition lambo in future, like bicolore edition.I think limited edition lambos hold value better.Good luck for your next dream car.
+Peter Beattie's Garage Can you make a video talking about this? I'd really like to know the price differences between these cars and about the different specs. Thanks!
You mention a few times that you have met many other people with nicer cars; business owners. Also that this car isnt out of reach for many "business owners". You do not have to be a business owner to be successful. Be diligent in saving money, live below your means, and you can afford big ticket items.
I want to start my own business, but I'm too scared. I do some pretty good web design and I get quite a few customers with no advertising. I'm scared about the tax portion of running a business and all things related to it. Maybe I'll get over my fear one day and be able to buy one of these. Good job getting one though, I actually am happy for you.
Have you thought about purchasing the newer gopro's to place on your car? They are alot smaller now and will blend in very well when doing the reaction and cruising video!
Ugh, I'm in the process of trying to start up a business, I'm just short on money, it's nice to know there are guys out there like u, willing to share what's its like to own nice things, hopefully by this year I can open up my business and be up there with you, with an exotic of course. I'm a gear head a ugr tt lambo is only a dream for me right now.
Thanks Peter. Very nice vid. Very interesting to hear your thoughts and opinions on owning such a beast. I've always been a car person too. Reading every car&driver, road&track..etc I could get my hands on. My first sports car back in the day was a brand new L82 close ratio 4 speed. The Lambo might not be my first choice. I think I'm more of a z06, viper, in a pinch a gt3 guy. Would have to drive each to really find out whats what. But very cool stuff none the less. Continued good luck with the Lambo. Hope it serves you well. I'll be watching for more of your car vids. Thanks again.
People hate your guts when you drive something that even looks just slightly more expensive than what they own. First person to throw me his keys for a drive( for fun) was for a a new 911t . Wish you success in getting your next Lambo.
excellent video. ive been doing quite alot of research and reviewing the 2006-2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Im 24 years old, and I got a quote to insure a 2007 Vantage at 122 a month. I fully understand where youre coming from on the insurance. its not as atrocious as people think, nor is the maintenance or reliability. People really blow these cars out of proportion, when its unnecessary. Theyre very reliable, after all, they are a part of the Volkswagen Auto Group. i notice several things on your car that are the same in my Audi S4. Excellent video, very informative! Thank You!
Hey Peter when you were first looking at a Gallardo did you consider an R8? Same engine on the V10 model and a lot of Audi running gear which helps (a bit) in terms of maintenance costs.
Thank you so much for this video.... I'm always interested in watching ownership videos of Lamborghinis... I am on the fence on buying one... I will be pushing my budget to buy one.. but my thoughts are, I'd rather pay a little more and buy a gallardo than a BMW m4... as I'd get much more joy in it.. only thing I'm worried about is the clutch costs... but as you said in the video.. it does not wear out that quickly... Thanks so much, and let the haters hate!.. you enjoy your car! well done!
The topic about friends and family being rude because of your super car was pretty sad. ESPECIALLY family...that's just messed up. They should be happy for you.
inspirational video thanks peter, gallardo is definitely my dream car, lime green! hoping to do business management at university i want to follow as much as i can in your footsteps
Thanks for this video. I've always loved the look of Gallardos. I actually sat in one a few weeks ago for the first time. It was a great interior. I noticed the comfortable arm rest in middle, which is something sorely lacking from most Ferraris. I also noticed seat being a lot firmer than my 911's. So I couldn't imagine anyone using it for long trips without feeling discomfort in the rear.
Thanks for posting this! I'm on the verge of buying a pre-owned Gallardo myself, your videos are extremely helpful. Got a couple of questions for you though - when you bought your Gallardo from Dallas, did you go down there to take a test drive in it first, or did you just have a pre-purchase inspection and hope for the best when the car arrived? Also, was the dealership able to offer an extended warranty when you bought it? Thx much
Great video and info. One question... You mentioned that you got the Gallardo before you become a grey haired person riding by yourself... What is wrong with being just that as long as you can still enjoy the car? Does that mean that when you eventually become grey haired, you will sell the car, you will no longer find pleasure driving it? It's a gorgeous vehicle.
Hey Peter, what was your path after college? If you did attend it. I'm in college and would like to be a business owner myself. What helped you establish your own business to then buy your dream car? (Maybe answer this in a future video?)
Love the review..... I am happy you are enjoying it... People don't understand Insurance premiums with exotics.. Most people who own exotics have excellent credit scores, which is part of why the rates are not so expensive...
+pike yancy your comment makes no sense..... So your exotic is the same price as your Normal cars for insurance and than you said I was wrong.... Go back and read my comment and come back and tell me how I am wrong again....
Could you make a similar video to this one, but with a murcielago? You could do like a "feature" video with one of the guys you know from the car meets. I assume they are way more exoensive to maintain.
Thinking about getting one in the next year or so. Any other advice on maintenance cost to expect?.....you got the best owner videos on this car bro. keep posting.....like you I own my own business plus I day trade when I have the time, and i plan to get into real estate investing in 2016. I wanna reward myself for all the hard work I put in over the course of my life.
Mr Peter is this Typical Lamborghini First Generation Gallardo Is worth daily driving > as some other super exotic cars aren't able to drive everyday , Thank you as i like all your amazing videos

Finally someone actually tells the truth about how much money it costs to run an exotic car. No $20,000 brake jobs? No $15,000 clutch changes? No $1000 oil changes! Thanks for this vid!
He said he changes the oil himself, so not sure what it would cost to have done at an actual shop. It MIGHT be $1,000 ?
@@mbrwn25 it's 300-500
Clutch is 10k trust me I know
I'm buying one next week. Thanks man

Thanks for the honest and thorough video and comments. Prepared me for my Lambo purchase within 1-2 months. Haters will hate. Life goes on
you can also do preventative maintenance and replace those hoses before they go and cause damage.
Some of the douchiest people I have met have been Prius owners.
That ain't shit. I know one who has a 95 Saturn 😯
I think this has been one of your most helpful Lambo videos so far. Thank you, Peter.
Indeed. Fantastic overview
I enjoyed your honesty about ownership and experiences. Most important you come across as a decent man that enjoys fun cars cause life is too short not to. Im buying an 08 Gallardo Spyder with a 6 speed gated shifter and I can't wait. Thanks for sharing.

It really does have a lot more to do with their insecurities. Glad you're enjoying your dream car. I wish everyone could experience that same feeling.
Love the transparency you have with your ownership. It really puts super car ownership into perspective that it is not as bad as people think.

I plan to remake my channel soon doing motovlogs and maybe throw in some corvettes here and there. Anyways, keep up the good work and keep motivating!
Like enthusiasts in other realms I find most owners of exotic cars to be crazy enthusiastic about their cars. They're often quite excited and are more than happy to tell you about what ever it is they own. Especially at a car show or club activity where they have the time. I get a big kick out of it as they have a measure of happiness in owning their cars. Same for me, an Alfa GTV6 owner.
Love the Gallardo, but shift appropriately! lol
Peter, I've watched a very brief amount of content you post and you seem like a really great dude! Don't worry about people hating on what you do or the life you want to live man, you're doing it right! Although I don't see a Lamborghini in my near future I really enjoy the car and your commentary. Keep doing what you do!
Do you have any plans to change the car in the next 3 to 5 years?
+Peter Beattie's Garage look forward to it! Understand the murcies are a step up in running costs
+Peter Beattie's Garage That is a good car, also you can go for a limited edition lambo in future, like bicolore edition.I think limited edition lambos hold value better.Good luck for your next dream car.
+Peter Beattie's Garage Can you make a video talking about this? I'd really like to know the price differences between these cars and about the different specs. Thanks!
You mention a few times that you have met many other people with nicer cars; business owners. Also that this car isnt out of reach for many "business owners". You do not have to be a business owner to be successful. Be diligent in saving money, live below your means, and you can afford big ticket items.
have you consider going to New England dragway, street night? that would be sick to see your lambo do a pass!
I want to start my own business, but I'm too scared. I do some pretty good web design and I get quite a few customers with no advertising. I'm scared about the tax portion of running a business and all things related to it. Maybe I'll get over my fear one day and be able to buy one of these. Good job getting one though, I actually am happy for you.
Dood Your Awesome. Love the Video and especially love the end of the video when you break down “Haters” Rock On.......
I could ride around listening to a cd of that exhaust note and be happy
Have you thought about purchasing the newer gopro's to place on your car? They are alot smaller now and will blend in very well when doing the reaction and cruising video!
Ugh, I'm in the process of trying to start up a business, I'm just short on money, it's nice to know there are guys out there like u, willing to share what's its like to own nice things, hopefully by this year I can open up my business and be up there with you, with an exotic of course. I'm a gear head a ugr tt lambo is only a dream for me right now.
Thanks Peter. Very nice vid. Very interesting to hear your thoughts and opinions on owning such a beast. I've always been a car person too. Reading every car&driver, road&track..etc I could get my hands on. My first sports car back in the day was a brand new L82 close ratio 4 speed. The Lambo might not be my first choice. I think I'm more of a z06, viper, in a pinch a gt3 guy. Would have to drive each to really find out whats what. But very cool stuff none the less. Continued good luck with the Lambo. Hope it serves you well. I'll be watching for more of your car vids. Thanks again.
Another great video man! Just came from class and watched it! Keep it up and screw the haters!
People hate your guts when you drive something that even looks just slightly more expensive than what they own. First person to throw me his keys for a drive( for fun) was for a a new 911t . Wish you success in getting your next Lambo.
Hi Peter, how is the wear on suspension components? Have you had to change any bushes, ball joints, etc on it?
+Anton Georgiev all good so far
excellent video. ive been doing quite alot of research and reviewing the 2006-2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Im 24 years old, and I got a quote to insure a 2007 Vantage at 122 a month. I fully understand where youre coming from on the insurance. its not as atrocious as people think, nor is the maintenance or reliability. People really blow these cars out of proportion, when its unnecessary. Theyre very reliable, after all, they are a part of the Volkswagen Auto Group. i notice several things on your car that are the same in my Audi S4.
Excellent video, very informative! Thank You!
Awesome video Peter, thanks for sharing and for turning my beast mode up to 11
Do you plan on getting a paint protection film when you get the new bumper? It would prevent little stone chips and things like that.
hating because your jealous of a lambo people if you mad think of this you work hard you play hard
Doing a UGR TT would be amazing. That's my dream car(tt gallardo). What stage would it be?
+Peter Beattie's Garage No way! That's the stage I want! Haha I can't wait to see how it turns out! Good luck!
"They hate us cause they ain't us"
Peter where you in Waterboro when you were shooting this video? I recognize the hannaford and dunkin donuts lol
Then you literally were only 15 minutes away from my house lol
When do you have to bring it in for the winter?? The driving season went fast!!!!!
Hey Peter when you were first looking at a Gallardo did you consider an R8? Same engine on the V10 model and a lot of Audi running gear which helps (a bit) in terms of maintenance costs.
i love how he said "i bought it because is fucking bad-ass." lmao!
Thank you so much for this video.... I'm always interested in watching ownership videos of Lamborghinis... I am on the fence on buying one... I will be pushing my budget to buy one.. but my thoughts are, I'd rather pay a little more and buy a gallardo than a BMW m4... as I'd get much more joy in it.. only thing I'm worried about is the clutch costs... but as you said in the video.. it does not wear out that quickly... Thanks so much, and let the haters hate!.. you enjoy your car! well done!
Hey Peter I'm going to be in right by York Maine this weekend in Elliot Maine it would be sick for you do drive by lol
Thanks man, looking at first time exotic ownership and this is very helpful
I guess no cup holder either.. since the cup stays in his lap the entire time.
Cup holder in lamborghini? Are u fucking stupid the car is used for racing, when going 200 mph+ the cups would fly to the fucking roof
+Recon The c5 corvette does 220mph but has cup holders.....strange.
Recon Not capitalizing America is stupid.
+Recon what don't say some shit like that i love lamborghini but corvette's are sick even tho its american
Recon jealous much
The topic about friends and family being rude because of your super car was pretty sad. ESPECIALLY family...that's just messed up. They should be happy for you.
Nice Video dude! You really inspired me to work to achieve my dream car-a Shelby GT350. Keep it up!
I wish there were more people like you. Keep up the good work :-) The modification videos are really good btw
inspirational video thanks peter, gallardo is definitely my dream car, lime green! hoping to do business management at university i want to follow as much as i can in your footsteps
Excellent video. Are you still looking for a tt or are you sticking with this car?
Thanks for this video. I've always loved the look of Gallardos. I actually sat in one a few weeks ago for the first time. It was a great interior. I noticed the comfortable arm rest in middle, which is something sorely lacking from most Ferraris. I also noticed seat being a lot firmer than my 911's. So I couldn't imagine anyone using it for long trips without feeling discomfort in the rear.
Thanks for posting this! I'm on the verge of buying a pre-owned Gallardo myself, your videos are extremely helpful. Got a couple of questions for you though - when you bought your Gallardo from Dallas, did you go down there to take a test drive in it first, or did you just have a pre-purchase inspection and hope for the best when the car arrived? Also, was the dealership able to offer an extended warranty when you bought it? Thx much
Thanks peter for the advice
now i know what to expect when i get my lamborghini
keep up the hard work man.
Im angry that u have one and I dont! LOL As for the clutch get an after market one. They last 60k vs 10k for a stock lambo clutch.
Great video and info. One question... You mentioned that you got the Gallardo before you become a grey haired person riding by yourself... What is wrong with being just that as long as you can still enjoy the car? Does that mean that when you eventually become grey haired, you will sell the car, you will no longer find pleasure driving it? It's a gorgeous vehicle.
Hey Peter, what was your path after college? If you did attend it. I'm in college and would like to be a business owner myself. What helped you establish your own business to then buy your dream car? (Maybe answer this in a future video?)
Watching this in hope these information will be useful for me one day. Thank you!
Love the review..... I am happy you are enjoying it... People don't understand Insurance premiums with exotics.. Most people who own exotics have excellent credit scores, which is part of why the rates are not so expensive...
not true.i have a huracan fully paid for and my insurance is only 98 a month in va...i pay almost the same for my normal cars
+pike yancy your comment makes no sense..... So your exotic is the same price as your Normal cars for insurance and than you said I was wrong.... Go back and read my comment and come back and tell me how I am wrong again....
Could you make a similar video to this one, but with a murcielago? You could do like a "feature" video with one of the guys you know from the car meets. I assume they are way more exoensive to maintain.
hey peter are there any exotic metals used in the construction of a lambo ie: titanium etc.?
Hey Peter, what aftermarket audio/navigation system did you install in the car?
wow did you change the little monitor :)) it look difference to the factory :))
Can you kindly give an approximate number of how much it would cost to maintain it? I would appreciate it, thank you!
Thinking about getting one in the next year or so. Any other advice on maintenance cost to expect?.....you got the best owner videos on this car bro. keep posting.....like you I own my own business plus I day trade when I have the time, and i plan to get into real estate investing in 2016. I wanna reward myself for all the hard work I put in over the course of my life.
You may have already answered but did you do the PPI or inspect after delivery from Lamborghini Dallas? Thanks.
Mr Peter is this Typical Lamborghini First Generation Gallardo Is worth daily driving > as some other super exotic cars aren't able to drive everyday , Thank you as i like all your amazing videos
don t drive too fast , theres nothing could compare to your life . be safe and happy .
