First of all daily meeting challenge "I managed to reference Carolina Squat during a lunch meeting". My mom brought me along on a couple of her meetings, I was just in the city to see her, I arrived Thursday and she still had a couple scheduled on Friday.

Anyway, saw some awesome stuff! Of course the Rocky Statue, the multitude of historical buildings, the Liberty Bell, Chinatown and Reading Terminal Market (one of my favorite places while there). Also had a beer at Independence Beer Garden (love the Yards Pale Ale), had a great steak at Rouge and had a great experience at a Korean restaurant in Olney.

Car wise, you ask? Well. I saw a Lambo (which one is it?), also a TON of Jaguar XF's for some reason. On the way back I saw a Beetle with a racing stripe driven by an attractive young lady at 10+ over the speed limit. I'm amazed I didn't see her by the side of the road later for speeding, Ohio and PA are very ticket happy, so I did the speed limit till I hit Michigan. Which was funny, crossing the Michigan border is paired with a collective stomp on the go-pedal, because everyone is comfortable with 9 over.

Also of note my '10 SHO managed its best tank (Fuelly) at 28.1 MPG.

Pretty sure that's a Bugatti, bro.

And just yesterday, I pulled up to a lights next to an attractive girl in an 80's Trans Am in near mint condition. I was in my brothers Supra so the temptation the was real. (Jk Street racing is bad mmkay?) She gunned it anyways, but turned off before I could get next to her again.

On the PA Turnpike as long as you're doing around 75 you're fine, the patrols have been drastically reduced so they tend to only go of people nudging 80

Yeah, I went around 72-73 on my GPS (Waze), which according to my car is 75-76, lol.

I was concerned in OH because I hear horror stories, everyone I know, including myself implores people not to speed there, PA I wasn't sure, when I got into the state I saw LOTS of people pulled over, so I didn't risk it too much.

I was on the toll road the whole way, not sure if that's what you refer to as the Turnpike.

I did very much enjoy the PA roads, nice and curvy and mountainous. Sometimes I wished I wasn't stuck behind slow traffic on some fun downhill sections. I hypermiled to the extent that I'd stay in the right lane on uphills and would hit the left lane on downhills. Although sometimes I couldn't help but exercise the 365hp ecoboost on the uphills, haha.

The Turnpike is definitely the toll road but wheel speed and actual speed are usually different with wheel speed being slightly faster, you can sort of get around this by changing your wheel size. Ohio is definitely less lenient with speeders but for the most part anything 75 and under in PA is safe

Speedometers are simply known to be inaccurate, usually displaying a speed that's faster than you are actaully going. But I imagine that's what you mean by wheel speed. I certainly wouldn't adjust for it with larger wheels though. Seems excessive, unless I actually want larger wheels, haha.

On something like the SHO I would imagine not but the PO of my E46 went from 17s to 18s and the speedo is bang on

Haha right on, a nice side effect.

The annoying thing is, is that I imagine this causes all odometers to read high (on any car the speedo reads fast on)?

Gallardo Spyder?

Isn't that just a Superleggera Spyder?

Haha thanks! I am awful at ID'ing most exotic cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini since they make so darn many. In this case it was mostly the convertible aspect that kept me from figuring it out, haha.

Looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante, if you ask me.

Haha maybe? It looked pretty sweet. There was also an all-black Mustang behind it that sounded mean as hell.

Exotics and shit like that bore me but I just happened to recognize it.

Haha, that's the 3rd different answer, well the Gallardo you have in common with others, but just what type seems to vary, haha.

That is a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante Edizione Technica.

*Made so many. Technically speaking Lambo currently only makes 2 (plus a few remnant special editions of previous models) and Ferrari makes 5...

Well, it's not a Superleggera because I'm pretty sure they never made a Superleggera Spyder. The Spyder Performante (Or Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica) was essentially the Syder version of the Superleggera. Plus, this one is missing stripes and seems to have the "Performante" designation on the side.

My money is on Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica.
