it never hurts to ask

i stayed home today because i was feeling pretty under the weather. i dragged my ass off the couch to go get some airborne and sudafed around 4. upon walking to my car at the supermarket, i spotted this:



a brand new lamborghini murcielago in an orange so eye-catching, i stopped dead on the sidewalk with my mouth open as passersby wondered which to stare at more - me, frozen to the spot, or the car.



i marched up to the driver's side, waved, and when the dude rolled down his window, said to him, "what a beautiful piece of machinery - sir, would you mind if i took a picture of your automobile." only too eager to oblige, this rapidly turned into "how about i take a picture of you in it":




to "how about a ride?" and that, my friends, is how i wound up doing a buck ten on an onramp in something that does 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. i don't have a picture of that, though :P

holy... crap... dude... that is so freakin awesome i can't even believe it. i wouldn't have trusted someone enough to get in the car with them, though. :)

the only thing better would have been if you were behind the wheel. ;)

that is so awesome. i wish i had been there with you. that's just so cool. it made my day just to see you sitting in it. that's so cool.

ok, i've said "that's so cool" too many times now. but dude, that rocks. awesome. cool. even "savage," as my friend would say. just freakin awesome.

i bet you're feeling better now... :)
