I guess the money you save can be used for a good lawyer?

How do these guys do this on public roads? I would get locked up so fast.

It's just a whole different lifestyle I suppose.

its rich people who dont care and believe they live above the law, i cant get a ticket for being shotgun so thats what i do

they have radios, scanners, scouts, trailers(stay behind to watch for cops coming up the rear) its actually very organized sometimes, other times they say fuck it and cruise at 150 down the freeway... i love being part of it, plus all the bars and free drinks are cool too

I've spent over half this year in TX already, you guys do have some big roads that go straight for a long way. So I guess it comes with the territory.

those roads are EMPTY at night too its not like LA where there all traffic all the time

especially toll roads, not a soul on them, not even cops... perfect for high speed runs

I always think if I were rich that I would still never get a Lambo.

They're too flashy I say.

...

But after seeing this... It makes me want to move to Florida and buy 10 of them.

I guess, but a Bugatti was made to go that fast and have all that power.

I'm just skeptical because ive seen cars that have mostly around 300HP stock then be highly modified to around 700HP and well...not survive more then 2 years. Though you can yet again argue about if it was the right turbo or if it was a good job...etc etc...

Hah! One of the TT Gallardo's is owned by a guy here in MN. He transports it down just to race on Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) and at TX2K.

Mega money, he isn't really arrogant but knows what he has is awesome. And enjoys what he's done to his Gallardo. He speaks very highly of UGR.
