Good story. Not something everyone could do, but it's nice to see people still make an adventure out of life.

Kinda forgot about those pesky timing chains....:(

That kind of freedom and drive to pursue nothing but the best for yourself absolutely blows my mind. I'm jealous of him in a way, not at all because the Lamborghini per se, but because he was able to enjoy the greatness that is the roadways and driving full-time. We should all be so lucky to be able to do something like that with our Mercuries.

Now THAT is what I would do if I had disposable cash. As it stands right now I am $192 and four days from being homeless.

Car took a dump after 91k miles and they still ask $180k for it? Fail.

I am internally inhibited from living such a lifestyle, but our man seems to have found a bit of happiness, so blessings upon him.

I find it disconcerting that a car so expensive would have an engine with a timing chain(s) that doesn't last more than 91K miles. Is this endemic of European cars?

I would think Lambo would want to have a warning note like the Mitzu's have on their timing chains. Maybe they do. He didn't have the money for that service anyway.

I wonder what's in store for him now? He seems to be able to land on his feet and tolerate stress.
