So.... I was just driving along today, going to a job interview, when up ahead I see a truck and trailer on the side of the road. I just assumed they were picking up a vehicle.... and I was right! The guy strapping it down was even nice enough to let me take a picture!

(sorry for the reflection LOL) Of all places... Wichita, KS! (It is a Lamborghini LM002, for those who can't tell). Sorry for the picture quality, it was taken with an iPotato 4S.

Bonus:

Gulf liveried 944?!?!

In all the cars I have seen and driven (a lot, and alot rarer than the couple hundred of these made), I have never been up close with one. That makes me officially *Jelly* of you sportwagen

I'm impressed. Coolest thing I've seen driving around Wichita was a Tesla

Well, I've been on a roll lately: Bentley Continental, this, Maserati GranSport (different than the one JayhawkJake spotted earlier), Ford GT, Dodge Viper X3, GTR X2, and an Alfa Romeo of some sort (not the 4C or a 124 Spider).

..in Wichita? Was there some sort of special event going on that I didn't know about?

No, it's the fact that I go EVERYWHERE in Wichita. In the past 3 years I have driven 75k miles (95% in Wichita) and you would be amazed what you find. Also, one of the parents at school has an SLS AMG too.

Kinja'd!!!

OMFG

I know! I loved it almost as much! I also just figured out that it was at a dealership (sort of) and that it will probably be for sale soon!

lol sorry, my love for the 944 is ridiculous and I dont know why.

Sportwagen, Is Sad > Stevo777
08/05/2014 at 18:52

LOL well I'm pretty sure that the LM002 had just been sold and was being shipped out :/ they were asking 125k (only)

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this is the same one that was at automobilia a few weeks back. Such a ridiculously cool vehicle.

Sportwagen, Is Sad > midengineer

Probably, it was at Autohouse Stuttgart on 2nd Street. It had just been sold for (I think) 125k.

I saw a silver one the other day on the highway, it was going the opposite direction. Not sure how I feel about them, would try and find an H1 Alpha before a LM002

08/05/2014 at 18:57

Meh, I just thought it would be cool to take a picture of it and post it on Oppo :)

well yes of course! Very nice find though!

Thanks! Of all the people I thought would see this.....

When I bought the 360, the LM002 was my dream. The Lambo dealer said it would be insanely expensive to own. I still can't think of a more ridiculous car to buy and write about. Hope you took a good look, because you may never see another one!

Sportwagen, Is Sad > Doug DeMuro
08/05/2014 at 19:35

I know ;( you should've seen how much they had this one for sale! A proverbial steal for $125K!

Doug DeMuro > Sportwagen, Is Sad
08/05/2014 at 19:37

Ouch. That was the problem. $125k plus whatever breaks.

Well, if you took it to enough fundraisers and car shows, you could probably afford the gas ;)

I can't even begin to imagine running one of those things, they're expensive beasts. The tyres alone with their special carbon fibre sidewalls cost £1,500 each and filling up the tank would cost £200.

Well... it would still look cool as a mantlepiece, wouldn't it?

Sort of, yes. Just that you either don't marry or stay together and don't break it first :)
