Free, no strings attached. All tricked out with all the bells and whistles too. What would you do?
Keep it and drive around in it. That is one damn fine ride!
Sell it. WTF do I need a Lamborghini for? But I could use the money.
Use it for the odd beer run but make a point of riding a dirt cheap bicycle everywhere just to piss people off

(55,445 posts)all wheel drive, traction control, stability control, paddle-shift and all the anti-idiot devices they could possibly stuff in the software, and he couldn't keep it intact for one day...
all that stuff probably did save the driver's life, though...the supercars of old were death traps for the unskilled "more-money-than-brains" crowd...
edit: The driver was either a celebrity or a drug lord driving under the influence, since he and his girlfriend/mistress/fuck toy made their way home and got amnesia when the cops came knocking...At least San Diego will have a larger-than-usual turnout for the seasonal police auction...Would have been nice if they at least released his name...

(10,237 posts)I had this same thought last week and it was a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster that cost just under half a million bucks.
I have tremendous class shock and trashing one would make me feel like I had some sort of power probably equal to a person who could own one .

(28,942 posts)Couldn't afford the insurance. No safe place to keep it. Every cop in New England would be waiting for me to drive one mile over the speed limit. If you can't hit Warp 9 what's the point of having one?

(22,143 posts)Hell, get a Chippendale too. Strap those good looking motherfuckers to the hood and speed around like a maniac blasting bagpipe music on the sound system. See how many mosquitoes I can get stuck to them before I pull over and take pictures of strangers in a Sears parking lot. Hide an orange sock in the glove compartment. The possibilities are endless.
I'd have a ball.
