I can't speak for the Gallardo, but I can tell you that driving my LP Roadster takes some planning. The car is very low, even with the nose lifted and some garages are difficult to enter and exit. It's not just the nose either as some underground garages can leave you high-centered. Then there is the issue of valet parking, if they know how to drive the car. Visibility isn’t an issue so much, even though it’s not great however remember you can drive the Merc around the lot with the doors open.
If you park in some places the car goes unnoticed and in others it will draw a large crowd, often with kids leaning against the car to look inside. You have to think about what you want to deal with that day. Yesterday I had a fat lady drip ice cream all over the hood as she was leaning over to look at the clear mask line.
You also have to plan for weather. I have a sport bike and planning is rather similar.
The Gallardo is a lot more common around here and I have no idea if they have the same draw.
I can’t imagine driving either car as a daily errand car. I don’t know any owners who don’t own more than one car they like to drive for daily use.
