What do you do when your introverted neighbor buys a Lambo Murcie?
I'm sitting here pinching my pennies, saving up for a Z06 purchase (or something) in a few years. Now my neighbor, who already has a 360, buys a stinking lime green Lambo. I saw it the other day on the road, but had no idea it was his. And he's totally not social or into talking to neighbors (ie getting friendly enough to let them have a ride).
It sucks from two perspectives - one, I cant get close to the car, and two, it makes my "dream" car I'm saving for seem not so dreamy.

Your lucky to have the neighbor with the nice toys you can check out. What color are they btw? The CGT was black.

why from a 40mph punch...I'd just ask him to run for "pinks"
of course then he would ask, well where is your Z06, and you would say...well I've got it on order you know...but GM is dik'n us about not releasing the price, and they are about bankrupt, so there are a lot of C6's in inventory, and that's push'n back production...and say is that black plastic on the roof an XM antenna or an hydro-devibulator-time-warp-trasnducer?

I suppose I'm lucky to live where I do...but then again, I used leverage to get the house I do, and I use leverage when I buy cars. This guy probably writes checks. Our home values in our neighborhood average around 650-700 or so, this guy just built a new 1MM home across from me on the cul de sac (thanks for raising my taxes, sir!) You dont typically see cars in the garage that are half the value of the house....this guy is an exception to the whole neighborhood.
He seems to go through cars quickly - 5 as I count in the last 2 years. Maybe he'll give me a good deal on a used lambo???

Anyway, I think i'm getting over it already...time to show up at his doorstep with two beers, and offer to provide 24 more...if he drives us to the liquor store.
(make that 48, if he lets me take pictures)
