$180,000 Lamborghini Used as Ramp by Teenage Biker, Owner OK with It

A lot of people would freak out if they saw somebody lean against their vehicle, and it wouldn't have to be a Lamborghini or be worth anything near $180,000.
That's just how protective some owners are when it comes to their cars. They don't call them their "pride and joy" for nothing - or was that used for their kids? Oh, whatever. To each their own.

However, it would be hard to blame Aaron Rylan, the man who drives the Lamborghini Gallardo in the video below (well, we only get to see part of its dashboard, but the rest of the car is attached to it just as it should), for going ballistic over what he saw when reviewing the footage of his vehicle's camera.

On October 15 at around 2 PM, his car was parked on the side of a street in Singapore. A kid riding a BMX bike can be seen riding around, presumably looking for something to try his tricks on. He heads toward the building in the back, but eventually he comes back for the supercar.

We've all seen a Lamborghini - those things are shaped like wedges. You can stick one under the door, and it will keep it open no matter how strong the draft. It's not hard to mistake it for a ramp if we're to be honest. Granted, a bright-yellow, $180,000 ramp, but a ramp nevertheless.

The kid can be seen gathering momentum as he approaches the supercar and then bunny-hops onto its hood, goes over the windshield and we can only assume continues over the rest of the vehicle. What exactly possessed him to do that is hard to tell, but if he wanted to punish his parents and make them work for Mr. Rylan for the rest of their lives, he nearly managed to do it.

After viewing the recording and filing a police report, Aaron then decided to show leniency toward the kid, so the two met in private and sorted the whole situation out. "Izzad Adnaff [the bike rider] and myself just had a good catch-up session!" he said right next to a picture of him and the teenager. "Extreme sports or biking is a healthy activity which requires proper safety gears and most importantly the right place," he continued, referring to the new helmet the biker was wearing which he presumably bought for him. And the fact his car is not a ramp, despite the obvious.

A nice gesture, all in all, proving Aaron Rylan is one of the few nice guys out there. That means you shouldn't go jumping on people's Lamborghinis if you want a new bicycle helmet because you might end up needing a full-body cast instead.

Editor's note: Aaron should maybe do something about the front wheel of the boy's bike as well because something doesn't look right there. "Right" as in "round."
