Don't have the Lambo quite yet - only 27 years old. Anyway, I've got

1985 Maserati Biturbo (will someone please take this piece of junk off my hands?)
1993 Jeep Wrangler
2006 Nissan XTerra

At the very least, they are ALL manual transmission, as have been ALL of my previous cars, which were:

1995 Jeep Wrangler
2002 Acura RSX
2005 Nissan Altima

And looking to get in the next couple of months:
Audi Allroad Quattro - or - Infiniti G35x

But, I've got a buddy (thrice my age) that has quite the collection - which he won't even allow me to photograph, so I know you will all think this is BS, especially here in Omaha, but I can assure any of you that I have seen these cars with my own eyes, touched many, and sat in some. HIS cars are:
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F-40
Ferrari Testarossa (2, and one of them has only 5, yes FIVE miles from new, still on MSO, so it amuses me whenever I see ads for Rossa's that say "best one left on the planet" and stuff like that - HA!)
Ferrari 328 GTS (2)
Ferrari 288 GTO
Ferrari 512 BB
Ferrari Mondial
Rolls Spur II
Rolls Corniche
MB SL500 (daily driver)
MB 190E
MB 250SL
A crappy old Range Rover
A stupid Hummer H1
Willy's Jeepster
A really cool replica of the 1886 Benz
1913 Cadillac
1957 Ford Retractable
A couple of other 1930's Rolls (not sure what they are exactly)
A mid 70's Bentley, maybe an "8"?
A goofy little Fiat Jolly from the 50's that has no doors and wicker seats (what a weird little car)
Some other random vans and stuff to tow boats and car trailers with

Oddly enough, he wasn't invited to buy the F50 from Ferrari, but the Enzo, he was. Has anyone else been invited to buy a car? I think that is silly.

I was sorry to see some negatives about Maserati owners, but I wouldn't hold your bi-turbos as typical of the brand. Stick with the vintage stuff. pre-Detomosa period and you may change your mind.

I still love Maser, don't get me wrong. If I could afford something vintage at the moment I would. I found a guy in Golden Colorado still using a 1967 Quattroporte as a daily driver to Boulder!! Anyway, I asked him if he wanted to sell, and he came back with "Well, if I got the right offer". Seems to me that when someone says that, they are really trying to say, "How deep are your pockets?" Then he went on and on about how he had thousands in brake work done, because he had to have custom parts made. . . It was a beater, but I guess at least it ran, and well. It had the 4.7, I believe, with a manual. He also often drove an early '70's BMW 2002. Kind of cool. Now that I've veered steadily off course. . .
