Icon20 Amazing sound!

Was just watching this YouTube video where a guy is driving a V12 lambo with straight pipes, sounds great

Speeding on busy public roads?
Check

Illegally crossing a double yellow line?
Check

Passing during unsafe 'blind' turns?
Check

Absolute idiot?
Check.

Look, love love love truly taking a car to task, yet please take this type of unsafe, illegal sh!t to the track please. Learn car control, get a driving coach, etc. Oh, and perhaps get a real track car

Oh my lord.

That’s nuts.

Gotta day it though. That guy is an accident waiting to happen.

Damn shame if something happens to that car.

Yeah, great automobile but like you say, there are places for that.

F, that guy. He’s a douche with zero consideration of the lives around him.

Wow, that does sound amazing. Geez, though I feel pretty bad for the passenger. To me, that’s a sign of irresponsibility.

stupid squid...take it to the track. If he has money to buy a Lambo, he should get some driving lesson as well. I'm glad he didn't kill innocent people out there.

Never noticed the seat belts worked backwards in a Lambo. Not that I have had any opportunity to notice outside of a quick glance at a car show.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of spirited driving, but that was painful to watch.

I hope that fool doesn't end up killing somebody.

I always wonder about people who have these kinds of cars in the city. Can you imagine driving something that low in the city? I'd be so worried about scraping everywhere I go.

I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it lol.

So true, Wes.

I honestly didn't think about that until you just brought that up.

The city has also been putting in 'humps' and I don't think that car could get over them.

PS - BTW, they were originally called 'bumps' but some city planner person asked that the name to be changed to 'humps' so the city literally replaced every single sign in the city with the new spelling.

At least you know your tax dollars are being put to good use.
