Anybody who's ever had to put up with high monthly payments on an incredibly boring family car can figure out for himself that Lamborghinis are not for the average Joe, they're for people with lots of disposable income.
We don't want to generalize, but very few folks from noble families get themselves a supercar. It's usually rappers, football players, stock brokers and the inevitable oil oligarch. As a result, they're a little rough around the edges.
Case in point, this owner of Giallo Midas (yellow) Gallardo. On May 15th, it was parked on or very close to a tram line in Kiev. Ukrainian media suggest a girl was behind the wheel and she parked her car there because she wanted to be next to her friend's ride.
We have no way of knowing this is true or not, be we'll never defend anybody who rides around in Gallardo on a Wednesday in the middle of the day. Angry people riding in the stuck trams had no choice but to call the police and have the car towed away.
On the other hand, the owner of the car, a rich businessman from Kiev, declared his car had actually broken down. Considering Lamborghini's service reputation, we call that "plausible".
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
