My friend has been daily driving an E430 imported from Germany when new. Great car, but absolutely everything but the engine goes wrong on the thing! He recently had to buy a new key for it for several hundred bucks. Epic ride, but you'll need balls of steel (and money) to own one.
Took a picture of that this summer! Such a beauty, and a view of the Eiffel Tower to your right!
way too fat of a rear bumper. makes the original look sleek. love the Aventador style side intake.
One of the better Jalopnik reviews so far...
drove one in Europe last summer, it was a bit too small for my 6'6 frame, but the exhaust sound was too glorious to give a damn. Quite a fun car!
A turbocharged Porsche. I think a 997 Turbo or GT2 would be perfect. Handling through the bends, not the worst fuel economy in the world, and loads of overtaking power. Reminds me of Lonman in his GT2 spanking everybody on the Gumball 3000. Just for fun, here's a batshit crazy video of a GT3 driving "spirited."
And yet he's owned one longer than nearly anything else he's ever owned.
That is epic. We do the same kinda thing around the Stanley Park "island" in Vancouver, Canada. :D
C'mon, no Vancouver? All you'd need is some grid lines and a checkered flag and the Stanley Park loop is a ready for a GP!

Our most stereotypical Lamborghini owner also has a flame exhaust kit on his chrome plated Aventador. Check it out around halfway through the video.
could of used more E39 M5 vs RS4 switchin' lanes
As mentioned by Patrick, there's something about a vintage 911 that tells you the owner enjoys driving, doesn't feel the need to join the 993/996/997/991 rat race, and certainly isn't about being beige or showing off. Take your pick from the early 70s or late 80s, but here's my favorite... black or dark green Porsche…
