Unveiling: Lamborghini Aventador

Dec

2011

At Lamborghini of Sarasota

On December 8th, 2012 at Lamborghini of Sarasota, the Aventador was unveiled. I am fortunate enough to know the chairs of the event, Gary and Marilee Roberts, who also coordinate and host the Sarasota Exotic Car Fest at St. Armand's Circle each spring.

I've always had a strong interest in sports cars and exotics, hence one of the reasons that I fell in love with my Nissan 300zx twin turbo. An event such of this gave me the chance to get close to some cars that cost much more than my house, and I'm not kidding when I say this, but one of the car's there (Enzo Ferrari) is worth over 1 million dollars. I most likely will never have the chance to own one of these exotic, powerful machines, but for that night I got to sit in one and pretend I did.
