"Okay!" I said. So I spent the whole Sunday morning last week calling at least 10 different dealers to see if they had the any lamborghinis available. All of them had a 3-6 month long waitlist, until I got lucky and found the dealer at Walnut Creek where they just had someone cancelling on the order.
I drove up to the dealer right away, wrote them a check, and drove home with my old ferarri. The lamborghini wasn't going to arrive until Tuesday (yesterday).
They were nice enough to drop off the car at my work yesterday. The car has all kinds of toys: navigation system, voice activation, bluetooth, ipod support, rear view camera, etc etc.
My miles per gallon going to work today was 43mph. :-) Long live lamborghini!!!
Now comes the difficult part. I need to give my new car a nickname. My sister is calling hers "silver mouse" since the car is silver, and my family has a tradition of naming our cars after animal names. I thought about "white pigeon," but that sounds kind of femanine. Then my mom came up with "white bunny," but that is kind of femanine too.
Any suggestions, guys?
Here are the two ugly^H^H^H^Hbeautiful pics that I took this morning:

Ooooh, you can name it "White Supremacy!" Just imagine that you're driving with your window down and you notice your uber high gas mileage. You stop at a stop light, and in your excitement, amongst other commuters, you exclaim, "Go White Supremacy! Go, go, go!"
... and while you're cruising down University Avenue in East Palo Alto, you check out the low-riding purple cadillac to your right, complete with spinners, hydrolics, and bling-bling hanging from its rear-view mirror, you roll down your window and pronounce out-loud with your fobby pride to the 4 brothas in the ride next to you, saying "Watch and admire in awe as I burn you with my White Supremacy. K? K? K?"
ew. all i think of when i hear the word poodle is pink poodle the strip club.
How about "Pat's Car"
or "Saint Patty"
or "white stallion"
or "snow flake"
or "white blood"
or "my precious"
or "white vanilla"
or "Dirty White"
or just plain "Dirty" after I take it offroading in the mud a few hours ;-)
Does Ferrari = Ferrari though?
I bet ferrari = hotwheels :-).
i like snowflake ... although that's still too feminine
I think I got it. "The Energizer Bunny" it keeps going and going and going
Could be "White Rabbit" in reference to Matrix...or is that 8 Mile?
How about
"White Albino Bengal Tiger"
or
"White Abominable Snowman"
Can I just call it "White Trash"? Or is that not very pc?
Whatever you call it, I hope you got the side airbags. Even then... wear a helmet
