Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. 172 were produced, with 10 in white, 34 in grey, 37 in black, 45 in yellow and 46 in orange. As of yesterday evening, I own one of the 37.
Let me warn you, I'm going to be a little sentimental here.
I just got back from my first drive and I'm speechless. Physically, I'm still recovering from it all and my brain is trying to process the sound and speed. This is not a 997S. Everything from the way it looks and sounds and drives, it's a pure exotic. Driving this car is an experience.
Emotionally I can't even believe this is mine. I set a goal for myself when I was in college that by age 30 I would own a Ferrari. I'm a couple years early, and I went for a bull instead of a horse. I worked my butt off for every dime and for the first time I decided to really go all out and reward myself.
I'm humbled by this experience and I won't even try to hide it. I can't believe it.
Ok enough babble, you guys want pics. I have a video of it coming off the truck (I've always wanted to do this) and I'll upload it on youtube shortly. These pics are ok, MiniD is going to do a proper photoshoot next weekend.
I hope you enjoy, I really am at a loss for words (but look at how much i wrote). Also, I have the OEM SL wheels and plan on putting swapping them out so let me know if you want these wheels.
P.S. - The 997 is pending sale as we speak!

thanks for all the comments! i got pulled over (first time on freeway - within 5 mins 
). I ended up removing the black tints on the tail lights so here it is without it.
This would have never happened in LA, I need to move back!

I'm tempted to paint the center of these wheels black and lower the factory coil over suspension a little bit. I'll switch out the OEM wheels and see how I like them first.
