I drove a Gallardo for the first time in March of this year (yellow e-gear) and was hopelessly hooked. For the next several months I KEPT looking and yearning, and then decided life is too short to wait any longer. (I have wanted a lambo since I saw a Miura for the first time in the late 60's) So I bought a black 6-speed on June 2nd! I will have to cool it a little - have put 800 miles on the car since then, including a track day at Willow Springs. What a mechanically perfect and flawless car so far. So don't wait too long, your wife will get over it (mine did, and even likes the car - but not enough to want to drive it thank goodness)
