Practical joker covers sibling’s Lamborghini Huracan in dozens of Post-it notes.
Lamborghini supercars are designed to be a thrilling experience when they’re being driven, but what about when they’re sitting still? Sure, they’re an exotic treat for the eyes. However, beyond that, what do you do with a raging bull that isn’t charging anywhere?
Youtuber Mo Vlogs came up with an idea. His sister’s purple Lamborghini Huracan was sitting parked across from a pair of Rolls-Royces and next to – of all cars – a new Mustang 5.0 (we’re going to take that to mean the appeal of the Mustang reaches across continents and price ranges). Somehow, he became inspired to cover the baby bull with Post-it notes.
In the above video, Mo Vlogs goes with his inspiration – and goes nuts on the Lambo. It takes about 20 minutes, but along with his partner in crime, he redecorates the Huracan with a rainbow of lightly adhesive and totally useful squares of paper. The pair is as thorough as they are mischievous, even applying the Post-its to the rims of the V10-powered rocket.
Clearly, Mo Vlogs enjoys his own high jinks. Unlike most pranks, his little stunt doesn’t annoy its victim. His sister actually loves how her car looks with the Post-its on it. Somebody must’ve forgotten to send her the memo about how pranks work. What a shame. They could’ve let her know in a few words. In fact, they could’ve just written their message on a…well…I think you know…
Derek Shiekhi's father raised him on cars. As a boy, Derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as post-WWII GM trucks and early Ford Mustang convertibles.
After loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in Business Management, Derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism. His networking put him in contact with the editor of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in Austin, Texas in 2013. One particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road racing.
While watching TV with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. In it, Jeep touted the Wrangler as the Texas Auto Writers Association's "SUV of Texas." Derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. He joined the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a Lexus LX 570). He's now a regular at TAWA's two main events: the Texas Auto Roundup in the spring and the Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall.
Over the past several years, Derek has learned how to drive off-road in various four-wheel-drive SUVs (he even camped out for two nights in a Land Rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. Several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 Ford F-150 being crowned TAWA's 2014 "Truck of Texas" and his review of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, have won awards in TAWA's annual Excellence in Craft Competition. Last year, his JK Forum profile of Wagonmaster, a business that restores Jeep Wagoneers, won prizes in TAWA’s signature writing contest and its pickup- and SUV-focused Texas Truck Invitational.
