I've got a buddy who owns a 1999 Lamborghini Diablo SV. It's bright blue
and does 0-60 in the 4 second range, and costs about $300,000. He recently
changed his exhaust and the new "performance" exhaust cost $7,000. We've
gone to lunch in his car from time to time. Last week, we went to lunch in
my Alpine for the first time. I think he gave more compliments about my
car than I ever have about his! He checked out the trunk, commented that
it really could fit luggage, and said something about thinking his wife
would love to drive up the coast in something like this. Then last Friday,
he came up to me at the pool (we work out there usually at about the same
time), and asked me if I would swap cars for a weekend. My Alpine for his
$300,000 Lamborghini. OK, so have you guessed what I said by now? He was
dumbfounded. He couldn't believe I didn't jump at it.
Of all people, my wife understands. My dad and a co-worker have decided I
should be locked up. But, it's my baby.
Although I have to admit a flaw in my argument. Had he offered a
convertible 1960's Lamborghini/Ferrari/Maserati, with Borani wire wheels
and 6 downdraft Webers (for 12 cylinders), or a Porsche 550 Spyder or RSK,
I'd probably have said yes.
Heck, if he can afford a $7k exhaust, I should find him a $7k Alpine he can
take for more than the weekend!
