Nice car. I wonder how much the paint job cost alone! :shock:

[SB 405]

I think the car looks ridiculous.......just my dos centavos.

[Vinnie]

Looks like it's wrapped in that visually off-putting color scheme manufacturers use to hide the shapes of their mule cars. Blarf.

There's no such thing as a Lambourghini Prestige. Looks like a good bit of free advertising for Prestige Imports. But why would anyone deface a Gallardo with a sharpie like that? 1000 hours of Sharpie labor... eech. I can come up with better ways to spend 1000 hours of my time.

If I remember right this is a somewhat "famous" artist in Miami area who does art like that. I want to say he used a sharpie for that but I can't remember.

You're correct, that's done with a sharpie. I think it looks awesome, and the amount of time to have that done is unreal...:cool:

Found out the following information:

During Supercar Weekend in Palm Beach Florida this weekend people brought out some serious heavy-hitters. Among them included a very unique and one-of-a-kind Sharpie LamborghiniGallardohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/2033/sharpie-lamborghini-gallardo-at-supercar-weekend-2009-palm-beach-florida#). Yes, you heard me right, a Sharpie Lamborghini Gallardo. That is a Lamborghini Gallardo with a Sharpie pen paintjob. This is a well known vehicle in the automotive enthusiast community as it has a specially designed exterior done with, you guessed it, a sharpie pen. The art work done by Jona Cerwinske (http://www.ajjapourgallery.com/artist/jona_cerwinske8.html) using sharpie markers on the white paint and then finished off with a clear coat to seal the deal.

Looks like something Jared Loughner would do to the walls of his cell if he was given a box of sharpies.

:think: Really????? Fail!

Personally, I think there is a difference between respecting the work that goes into something .... and thinking it looks "awesome".

I can definitely see and respect the work, but i think that car looks awful.

^What he said.

I ran in to this car once, he felt the need to show off to me and winded up getting a visit from nevada highway patrol just outside of goodsprings. I slowed way down when I first saw him because I thought it was some kind of special enforcement vehicle, or my weekend had been too long in Vegas.:lol:

[LadyVol@330]

I guess no would bats an eye at a Lamborghini on Rodeo Drive anymore, so he decided to bring it on. It's a lot of work, but I am another who does not appreciate this on a vehicle. Bring back those cute VW bug boards, like the Herbal Essence psychedelic one. I wonder if it was driven from coast to coast or transported.

[rufio11]

Haters.....:cool:

[Darkside213]

that thing is ugly. That is a lot of work, but still ugly

[CAHPDist2X]

I kind of like black and white cars.

[Mac]

I kind of like black and white cars.
I see what you did there. :smile:

Truth be told, that Lambo isn't my cup of tea but I can certainly appreciate the artistry and the amount of work that went into it. The detail is amazing.

+1

[Gittinready]

That detail is crazy. Still having trouble with most lambos no longer have lambo doors...:doh:

But the question stands, if you can afford a Lambo, why didn't you just buy a Ferrari???:biggrin:

[emcviper]

I think it took more than one sharpie :wink:

Looks pretty cool to me.

The sharpie drawing is just Phase 1.. Phase 2 will entail the backbreaking task of super-gluing 250 plastic dinosaurs all over the car to grab even more attention.. btw, where is the vomit emoticon? I think the owner could have saved a ton of money and time by just stenciling "attention whore" across the hood.
