smash the state n' shit, y'all
It both looks [I]and[/I] acts like an Nvidia card.
[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;35592742]Jesus christ it was an example of what you can do. If you are going to build a car you probably won't use a starlet since there are way better platforms. And if you got your hands on £250 000 to spend, you can shape the body of the car any way you want.[/QUOTE]
I'm sure if you had a lot of money you would want the most best car you can get your hands on, I know I would.
[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;35592657]You are completely unaware that those aspects you are describing can be achieved with lesser amounts of money but that's stupid in your opinion right?[/QUOTE]
Because a Toyota Startlet with 2000 BHP is better than a 700 BHP lambo.
Cars aren't about numbers. Most people who can even afford a car like this can't even drive it above 200 km/h on a track.

Its not about having a fast car. Its about having a dream car.
Don't you have a dream car that costs more than those "DIY cars" like the starlet you said?
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;35592847]Unless it does.
I honestly don't buy the concept that just because someone is good at moving money around in the stock market and learning how best to cut jobs and get bonuses in the business they run that they necessarily "earn" or deserve the wealth they accumulate.[/QUOTE]
I agree with that I'd would rather see people sending money to Africa, India or whatever rather than buying an expensive car. This isn't the way the system works though, and you'd have to make a change at the government level (like incresng taxes, more regulations on cars, corporations and whatnot) before it'd make a difference. I personally don't blame the man for wanting a Lamborghini, they make really nice cars. I agree that money, resources and pretty much everything else should be shared more fairly.
a Lamborghini is a luxury car
key word: luxury
unless you plan on becoming a professional racer, you don't buy a lambo for it's engine.
So....is violently going up in flames covered under the warranty?

You're dumb. Why would I wait for a car to be HEAVILY modded when I can just buy a supercar on the spot? You're missing the point if I wanted to mod a car to get that kind of hp a lambo is giving then I have to do a shitload of mods and you're definitely going to have to do some weight reduction mods like rear seat delete, etc. I'd rather have a lambo where I have a beautiful comfortable interior and exterior with the speed than a toyota.
And really a toyota? You couldn't say like a Subaru or something?
[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;35592480]Who in their right mind pay £250 000 for a fucking car? For that money you can have a custom car built and tuned to outperform those vehicles. I've seen a Toyota Starlet outrun a Ferrari.[/QUOTE]
because I dont want something thats such a ricer it could solve world hunger, although done right a hatchback civic can look great
With a car that expensive they should make it explosion-proof.

Not really

You know there's a team of engineers somewhere, shitting their pants, trying to figure out why it burst into flames.
That's what happens when you buy Italian.
Too much spice in that one!

He's pointing at something off-camera and it's bugging me!!!!!!
[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;35592536]If you don't buy a Lamborghini for speed, then why the fuck would you pick a car with nearly 700bhp?[/QUOTE]
It's fast and it's a luxury car.

article says he's a car dealer. Maybe he's trying to sell you the car at a fire sale price?
Isn't it common for these cars to burst into flames? Or was it the Ferraris?
While nice and all, i'd rather save $200,000 and get an ariel atom, still does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds :v:
When I was a kid I though Lamborghini was a type of pasta.
