Came across a Lamborghini last night...actually, he came across me...I was waiting at a light as he pulled up behind me, then around me and passed me in the turning lane as the light went green.

Purple Lambo, black wheels, tinted windows coming from the West Chester / Chadds Ford area...Bam Margera immediately came to mind...

We drove together for a couple of miles...top speed just touching tripple digits.

Awesome car, and congrats! It's funny that you mentioned you tried to fit a hockey stick in the Exige and you could. I thought I'd have to stick it out the windows or leave the top off on mine if I wanted to play!

BTW: if you haven't figured out the most "graceful" way to get in and out of your car, slide your right leg all the way in until it touches a pedal, and then get your butt and other leg in. Get out by doing the same thing in reverse.

Cheers!

MOTHER F*CKER!!! It was Bam Margera!

Lamborghini Gallardo


I knew it! Well, I guess you could say I was passed by a real "Jack Ass"...

Thanks man! I guess it's a matter of, um, how big your stick is...yeahhhhh, that doesn't sound good. I'm a "dangler" and set-up guy, thus I use a real short stick - often mistaken for a little kid's stick...but I do not have a "toe drag" in my repituare!

I'm cool on getting in and out now...took a couple times to practice...also, with the soft top on now, I am popping the driver side off and rolling a little before i get in...guess that's cheating...getting out I use a little hop after I plant my left foot...

No doubt...what's with this story?

Lamborghini Gallardo owned by Bam. Billy Idol cut a hole for the sunfoof with a chainshaw

I am not a fan of his work, thus don't keep up with the wackiness of Jack Ass or any of Viva La Bam...but him being from my neck of the woods you hear about him once in a blue...

5,004 miles!!! Enjoyed everyone of them!

Car is officially mine (driven more than original owner...he had it for two years...I've had it for two months...).

Last night at the tail end of a nightly cruise I saw "exotic" tail lights from about a quarter mile away...I thought it was a Ferrari...got closer..."it's an Elise!".

We drove together for about 3 miles. Very cool.

Pearl Jam closed down the Spectrum this past weekend...see the banner...big fan...and I worked at the Spectrum for a long while...so what's appropriate? Of course take a pic of the Elise out front!
