Default great month of driving some nice cars...m5, cls55,lambo

my buddy picked up a few cars lately and ive been fortunate to be able to ride/drive them. didnt have to twist my arm at all. the m5 is in break in period so i didnt really get a chance to let her rip im not a big fan on the bmw's styling but there is something to be said about the way they drive. its his daily driver. i think he said something about not being able to use the full sport modes until the first service @ 1200 miles. the smg in the m5 was kind of jerky to me but this was the first time ive driven smg.
then there is his cls55. styling not really much to say but it feels a lot like the e55. stupid fast when the supercharger kicks in. basically mash the gas and it goes.
but last night i took the 2006 gallardo 6 speed out and now im spoiled. i think its one beautiful car. 520hp right behind your head sounds awesome. rides and handles like a sports car should.
mike u up for some 1sickreviews????????
