Really really nice, plenty more power than the Gallardo (540 hp)but now I want to rent the Aventador (700 hp)There's another company in Miami that has a white one so maybe in a couple weeks. The huracan is (610 hp) if anyone's counting.

I know a guy in Steven Point that might be able to fix that.

My right front was hanging up on my f250 big time today. Thought slide pins but one of the 2 pistons on the caliper was stuck. Had a time taking it off haha, makes me think I found my loss of mpg culprit.

This X has been sitting for 5 years or more outside apparently. Rotors are pretty pitted, I am surprised it moved at all.

I will have to go threw all the brakes some day.

Nice! I know the one I drove had much less hp than what your talking about, I'm guessing the car was mid 90's model year.

That was mine too on The Monster. This past weekend I found the top caliper slide pin boots on both sides torn and all but gone. The top slide pins were covered in brake dust and barely moved. After some brake cleaner and synthetic brake grease, things are much better.

All I have left to fix is my cracked radiator. Now if only that Mishimoto radiator would hurry up and get here...

Took off my rust blistered rear bumper today. The back of my truck is in pretty good shape, I'll use POR-15 just to be safe then I'll figure out what I need to do to install my 2013 rear bumper, from what I've read they don't fit well. I wanted the newest rust free bumper I could find and and the price was good.

Worked on brakes today. Turned rotors, new front calipers, took apart and cleaned rear calipers, and stuff.

Today I took the Lambo back and came home with this.....
Don't get me wrong the Huracan is an amazing car, but I kept hitting my right knee on the steering column every friggin time I got out and hit the back of my head twice getting in Yes I'm getting old, maybe
Even though this one is similar to my Bentley in theory, it truly is a completely different level of car the msrp on it was $509,750.00 that even blows my mind.
This pic is from Internet ( identical except interior my rental is black ) but I'll snap a few shots of it tomorrow.
