So... does this make the Lambo a good DD or reliable? All this talk about supercars not being able to be driven all the time etc. and how the LF-A is suppose to change all that a the "every day supercar", what does it mean now? Or is it an anomaly since he's the only one who has driven the car that much?

Edit:

NVM it broke down.

Yeah...total Bucket List story. Sounds like so much fun to do but at the same time, the story was depressing. Good read though!

Cool story, and it is true, nobody has the ***** to leave behind the life that society told us to work so hard and strive for, it sounds pretty cool to go into the unknown like that.

I wonder how much maintenance he did on it? still nice to see that it made it to almost 100K. I think if he had a Porsche it would have lasted longer, there are quite a few high mileage 911's out there.
