Youre quite pretty...as a fellow Dane (Ancestors came from the Nordlllands...is that the right way to spell it?) I always am amazed at how well I have kept my, uh, "Nordic" looks. My Father is a 1st gen. Dane, my Mother 1st gen. Norweigian, though their parents made sure they were "Americanized". So sadly, I never learned the language, with the exception that my father, when angry, flipped over to Danish...

By the way, I do celebrate Syttende Mai.

Talking about "nordic" looks ... The lady on the right was our tourist guide in Ribe. She'll always remain a synonym for Danes in my mind

Gallardos are freaking expensive in the US, right? Dunno if I would have picked that colour if I were your boss
Nah, guess I just would be happy with whatever colour Lambo serves me with...

Don't think so. Basically all European cars are waaay less expensive over there, the Gallardo will be no exception.

^ I don't think so. All luxury sports car manufactureres were/are complaining about lack of customers due to unfavourable exchange rate, hence prices.

Well, maybe they're just more expensive in North America than they used to be due to the exchange rate and that's the sole reason for the lack of customers. Compared to the prices in Europe though, they're still way cheaper.

I just did a quick check. When comparing the MSRP of a Gallardo in the US with the MSRP in Germany, Americans save ~31,000 $.

I believe he got his at MSRP. His dad got his Continental GT at MSRP of $150K and I think they got them in Cali. He barely drives the thing but next time he does, he said I'm going for a ride so a video will be in store

Speaking of frightening, here's me, looking unutterably pretentious. Damn friends with their "ooh hold that pose" and cameras.
