I'm with gvan, the inside has zero storage space, so I always end up handing things to my passenger to hold that would usually go on their seat, as well as the super annoying body contorting routine to get in and out of a tight spot, or reach a toll station, or get food from a drive thru of some sort.

Like an idiot I decided to put the t down while stopped at a red light. I knew the light and it was a long one and it just turned red. I started to lower it and everything was going perfectly until the bloody light change. No idea why it should have been good for another 60 secs at least. Well here I am with it at the halfway point and the car in front of me is gone. So I thought I will just creep slowly while still lowering it, NOPE! Doesn't operate at all while moving. Now I'm in the middle of the big major intersection in Waikiki stuck I hobbled over to the side of the street looking likens complete fool and put the top back up. I was pretty embarassed. People were honing horns and laughing no doubt.

Why the heck doesn't Lamborghini fix it so you can at least be moving!

I always seem to get caught in the rain on a Houston freeway with the top down.

Sometimes, I outrun the rain. Sometimes, it outruns me.

I try to stop under an overpass to put it back up instead of a light.

First time at the gas station : 15 minutes to put around 30 liters ! The fuel keep getting out and on my shoes.
People behind me in line were able to put gas in their car with other pumps, pay, and leave, as I was still trying to put gas in mine

Fun topic...!

This is a mix of being frustrated, and then no caring but...

Sometimes I get called out by an "exotic car expert" while at a gas station, local gym, etc.. for driving a replica. People can think what they want, but when a crowd gathers when you are getting in your car and some idiot is shooting off his mouth about you driving a cheap replica... ugh...

But of course, I always come back with some smart ass answer turning it around on the guy making the statement.

A few of my favorites:
Some guy talking to a girl in a parking lot while looking at my lambo: "it's a pretty accurate kit car, I only spotted it because the wheel base is a couple inches short on that car"

Another guy, this time talking to me: "pretty cool kit you put together, you had most of us fooled until we head you start it up, total give away sound with the Fiero engine"

Funny, but in five years of Lambo ownership I've never heard anyone suggest that my Gs were anything but the real thing.

First time out with a friend in my 2012 LP550-2. Pull up next to the restaurant, I misjudge the distance to the curb (made of granite blocks) and then a nice "crunching" sound was heard. This was the sound of my right wheel getting some curb rash in front of several on-lookers.

My friend was like "what was that?". I was like "just shut the F#$k up, get out and don't make a big scene".

Ha!

I pulled up to a Starbucks with Donblackie, Guardco and Ikarian once all in our Gallardos. They all pulled in pretty. I went over the curb and knocked my Fabspeed cf skidplates off.
