i would call the fbi and have the video authenticated and then the cia can determine the speed from the satellites, i bet you can have the swat team down here and the army within the hour.

i think that is a waste of time, unlike my video showing a battle between a lambo and my elantra. that is REAL excitement.

buy the dvd, only $29 plus shipping/handling fees

He dropped the camera when the Lambo punched it and left him a trail of dust.

lol i guess that video is too much for some people to understand even though it is quite obvious what it is.

i am driving a hyundai elantra with 150k on it, loaded with people and luggage going about 65mph on the interstate (speed limit 70mph) and that is a sarcastic video of a lambo casually driving by barely doing the speed limit. the video was sped up 1.5x and i even added little fast and furious speed streaks on the lambo and it is still completely obvious that it is slow as it drove past me. the video was intended to be silly, making fun of street racers and to get people to click on the link, watch the video expecting some big high speed race only to be let down by a lame video of a car driving slowly by. that is called a bait and switch and is intended to be funny. here are some more obvious details for those needing them: the lambo was orange. it was driving on the interstate and had wheels with tires on them. it also had someone driving it and it was during the daytime that is why it is not dark out.

wow, this thread is great lol.

Here in the midwest, we call that title a false lead ad.

We would lable the "race" as an "encounter"

But given the wheels you were driving I guess it would not have been a fair match unless the Lambo was, in fact, a Fiero clone.

Ohhhhhhh. I get it now.

I was actually wondering why your xfire's hood had the little spray nozzles on it.

I must say though, that is a hideous blue cover on the front of that lambo...

I only pay that kind of money for a video with naked people in it.

I'll pass. But thanks for the memories.

I was actually more worried that you left your SRT at the airport while you were gone...My jaw dropped.

Then I noticed a) it was not your SRT and b) you aren't dumb enough to street race.


...and c) if I come up on a Lambo with parts masked off, I'm staying away, he more than likely just got done doing something stupid. Like a high speed run, haha.

Thanks for the mornin humor P-man, always enjoy it.

To me it looks like you were catching up to the Gallardo and at the end during a roll he easily pulled away from you????
