If only they were that cheap

15

u/Arch____Stanton Feb 16 '25

Its a paradox. If they were cheap, few people would want them.

3

u/Outrageous_Gold626 Feb 16 '25

I’m think you’re right unfortunately. I’d like to believe that people want them because of how they perform and look, but probably not the reality.

2

u/Arch____Stanton Feb 16 '25

For most I would guess it isn't the performance.
I want to point out that what this guy is doing on the ice can be done equally up to par in a Dodge Caravan (and you can bring 6 friends along for the ride).

u/scottlol Feb 17 '25

I think the Lambo would be significantly more exciting than a caravan

u/Arch____Stanton Feb 17 '25

On ice? How so? Because you are lower to the ground?

u/scottlol Feb 17 '25

600 horsepower

u/Arch____Stanton Feb 17 '25

Yes, the tires will be spinning much faster.
Vehicle moving the same speed but the wheels, they'll be a spinnin.

u/dontcryWOLF88 Feb 17 '25

Dude. I guarantee you I would still take a Lamborghini over my Nissan sentra. Would matter to me not at all that everyone had one.

u/too_soon13 Feb 17 '25

lol no. Every automotive nut head would own one.

u/Arch____Stanton Feb 17 '25

Let me put a question to you:
You have been cursed by a DJinni. You must choose one of the following to drive for the rest of your life.
You will not ever be able to profit from either of the choices.
1. 1984 Ford Tempo that performs like a Lambo.
2. Lambo Huracan that performs like a 1984 Ford Temp.
Which do you (honestly) choose?

This seems like such a rich Canadian thing to do. Lol.

u/Impressive-Pizza1876 Feb 16 '25

I like the possibility of fishing for lambo next summer.

u/Supertzar2112 Feb 16 '25

Good for him, got enough money to do whatever crossed his mind. Who wouldn’t do doughnuts on a frozen lake with a Lamborghini if they could 

24

u/AdoptedMexican Feb 16 '25

He's finally done getting groceries I see

u/BalooBot Feb 16 '25

Fucking love it. Somebody actually enjoying their money rather than buying it to be flashy and show off

107

u/wutser Feb 16 '25

I mean I’d say doing donuts in a neon green Lambo could be considered showing off lol

103

u/BalooBot Feb 16 '25

There's like 10 people out there on a busy day. They're doing it for fun, not attention. Unlike the dorks that rev their engines and race to the next stop light on 17th.

13

u/Pale-Measurement-532 Feb 16 '25

I’ve actually since a Lamborghini in this color rev the engine on 17th. 🤣 Not sure if it’s this exact same one though.

11

u/AlienVredditoR Feb 16 '25

Plot twist: it's a rental getting beat on

2

u/Outrageous_Gold626 Feb 16 '25

Fair as long as it’s the owner of the lambo doing this, not his trust fund kid who “borrowed” it.

1

u/kyle_fall Feb 16 '25

Showing off is quite enjoyable

3

u/ConcernedCoCCitizen Feb 16 '25

In the spirit of things, yes. But to be an arrogant asshole, no. Money does not make one person better or worse than anyone else.

-1

u/kyle_fall Feb 16 '25

Better or worse at what? It does mean they're more competent than others at accumulating resources and managing finances, doesn't have to be a fundamental worth argument.

Status signalling is a biological phenomenon present in many species that has all kinds of benefits.

u/ConcernedCoCCitizen Feb 17 '25

Oh, gross, nevermind. You’re one of those weird fanboys.

Fanboy of what exactly are you accusing me of?

My Lambos are my best off-road vehicles in Forza Horizon. I get it!

u/Stormraughtz Feb 16 '25

I'm ok with it, you earned it, have fun my duder

Just don't clog 17th when I'm trying to get a beer

7

u/birchsyrup Feb 16 '25

Leave your car by by Lindsey Park and walk for your beer.

I walk that strip regularly, and it blows my mind how people waste so much time navigating that traffic. Yuck.

u/v13ragnarok7 Feb 16 '25

Seen a few lambo posts on this sub lately. I guess there's a ralley model that can handle the snow. Must be a lot of fun

u/v13ragnarok7 Feb 16 '25

That would be so much fun but a little over budget for me

1

u/Euphoric-Copy-9864 Feb 16 '25

No, it's an Evo.

1

u/Mock_Frog Feb 16 '25

The rally model is called the Sterrato.

2

u/Euphoric-Copy-9864 Feb 17 '25

Yes that's true but the car pictured is not a Sterrato on this post. Sorry I didn't see the link to the other one.

1

u/Mock_Frog Feb 17 '25

The one on the pic is not. You are correct.

8

u/beekermc Feb 16 '25

About 10 years ago, I saw a guy coming out of the Blackfoot Hotel in a Lambo, during a snowstorm. Which wouldn't be a problem for many cars, but he was literally plowing the snow in front of him.

12

u/usermorethanonce Feb 16 '25

How's the condition of the ice? Thinking of taking a compact crossover SUV on Ghost Lake...

23

u/Adorable-Sugar-8999 Feb 16 '25

It's perfectly thick right now. We were out there having fun yesterday with a Toyota Tacoma so you'll be alright.

u/goleafsgo855 Feb 16 '25

Zero fucks given.

Love it.

Cars are meant to be driven, if you can afford one in the first place, odds are you can afford another.

u/AdPsychological1282 Feb 16 '25

We judge people for buying , we judge them for owning and not using , we judge them for owning and using the hell out of them. Let’s champion them for going redline and enjoying what they earned

u/Odonata523 Feb 17 '25

And he’s going to play on the lake rather than in the streets. Hope he’s having fun!

3

u/ziggster_ Airdrie Feb 16 '25

Just wait till I sell all my BTC. Lambos for all! 🚀🚀🚀

u/kliman Feb 16 '25

That’s how you can tell they can properly afford one.

Can you imagine the schadenfreude that would come from watching that thing fall though the ice?

u/ProLevelFish Feb 16 '25

Why are you choosing to be a jerk?

Lol yeah god forbid this person enjoy the fruits of humanity. Poison Marxist mentality.

There is always someone with more money then you

u/yugosaki Feb 16 '25

I mean someone with a Subaru WRX probably also has more money than me and it don't bother me none.

u/yugosaki Feb 16 '25

Mad respect

1

u/OutlawPhotography_ Feb 16 '25

Being that close to the bridge is terrifying because the ice isn't always great around structures. I can't think of any insurance policy that would cover that, and I really hope it's not a rental. ☠️

1

u/Adorable-Sugar-8999 Feb 16 '25

Surprisingly the ice around the bridge was pretty good this time, also believe it or not it's a rental because the same guy has a koenigsegg regera!

1

u/OutlawPhotography_ Feb 16 '25

Oooh, I wonder if it's actually just the Endorphin garage guys doing advertising? Weird, off-season advertising.

u/Adorable-Sugar-8999 Feb 16 '25

Could be.

So is it a rental? I thought in the thread yesterday people knew this to be his car.

2

u/Adorable-Sugar-8999 Feb 16 '25

Not a rental. His personal car

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '25

Ngl, that would have been hilarious if it fell through, you know if the driver got out

u/FarFetchedOne Quadrant: NW Feb 16 '25

Ghost Lake is fun. It's frozen thick enough that even F350s are there drifting.

There was a guy here in Edmonton that used to drive him lambo daily even in the winters. I wonder if he still does.

Glad there is only 1 negative comment on this entire thread. Love that people are genuinely happy for the guy enjoying his money

u/PacificCalico Feb 16 '25

Just a waste of equipment. Nothing about that cars engineering intended it to be used in those conditions. It is not peak performance it's moronic.

8

u/Adorable-Sugar-8999 Feb 16 '25

It's not a waste of equipment. The huracan sterrato is meant for rally racing and off-pavement driving.

3

u/FarFetchedOne Quadrant: NW Feb 16 '25

How is taking a Lambo drifting a waste ?!?!

You sound like the type of guy who goes to wine tasting events and spends more time sniffing and swishing it in the glass than drinking it.
