Is it an unreal feeling buying your first exotic? I've asked this tons of times on other sites and people usually just say "I liked the blue one". Seriously, would any of you be willing to give an indepth kind of explanation? It's sorta fascinating, haha.

Its a pretty good feeling. To me it was accomplishment but also re assurance that i stood to my word and did what I said I was going to do. I had promised myself I would buy me a 911 turbo by 30, I owned 2 at 23, Lambo before 25 and many more after...The idea that I reached that goal earlier pushed me to work towards bigger things that mattered more.

I mean its more like an accomplishment than just buying a car. Its a reminder of how hard I worked and now I can enjoy that through something I am passionate about which at the time was only cars.

lol they're KIDS what do you expect? That's exactly how id react at 16 years old to a lamborghini. I noticed its in NYC, Ive only seen 1 lamborghini in NYC my entire life and ive lived here 20 years. Most wealthy people here just buy BMWs and Mercedez Benz' cant have any fun in a lambo in stop ad go traffic and stop lights every 10 ffet. Cant wait to move back to FL.

yeah extactly I live myself in Denmark and I'm 19 and it's also super super rare that you will see an lamborghini! let alone any other good car.
Because Denmark is the worst socialist country on earth the taxes are sky high(which makes it also a shitty country for entrepreneurs) (about 60 % for the upper class) the cars you have to pay a very very high tax like 200 - 300 % or something like that so the cars are super expensive...

I have no idea why people waste money on these cars

No one here is the judge-and-jury on what rocks someone's world -- for some, it could be one of these expensive cars, for someone else, it might be a cabin in the middle of bumblefuck with no running water. To each his own.

Or perhaps a more simplistic explanation in the words of Vigilante ... "Because I can-- and you cannot."

Well because I can and you cannot doesn't cut it for me. I honestly would not buy one of these cars if I had billions of dollars. Maybe I would change my mind if I lived in germany.

Haha I guarantee a lot of us wouldn't buy your most favorite thing if you were rich, either. For me, I will love owning one of these because I am interested in exotics. You see rich people driving Hondas because they don't have a passion for cars and just see cars as a way from Point A to Point B. Hell, some would rather spend 80k on slow Mercedes than 80k on a 600 hp Viper. Too each their own.

I also usually get this much attention while driving my '01 Mitsubishi Mirage! But only because either another part has fallen off, or, that hole in the muffler is billowing thick black smoke again! :p #sidewalkersteering

This was an awesome thing to do for that girl! What a nice guy.

I had an opportunity to drive exotic cars for a while because of my old job and the attention is very nice, never really bothered me. Also it opens some "doors" and you meet interesting people.

Very nice video!

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for all of your kind words. A little update on the situation: The girl just recently chose her college, and she ended up choosing the better and more expensive one, because now she can afford it. She plans on being a vet. The video has raised thousands already for her. Remember to always give back to the community when you make it.

As for the question about why people buy Lamborghini's. Well, to be honest, you start off with an idea of what a great life would be. Then when you have money for it, why not get it? If you're hungry, and you have the money for food, then why not buy some food? I've been dreaming about getting one since I was a teenager and the current Lamborghini model was called "Diablo".

Perhaps you don't share the same dream as me, and don't understand it. That's okay. I don't understand the dreams of other people as well. For example, some people dream about owning a closet full of thousand dollar shoes. I don't get that. But that's okay, because I respect other people's individuality. How boring would this world be if everyone was the same and had the same desires?

So the question really is, is owning a Lamborghini living up to that "great life" you dreamed about? Yes. Will it be the same way when you're older? Probably not. I probably would get an Aston, Bentley or R8 when I get older. Maybe even one of those electric sports/luxury cars. They're more subtly and classy. But for now, the Lamborghini Aventador is my favorite car.

If Allen ever reads this, I've been using your 5-0 app since 2011... <3
Awesome man. It's still cool to meet people who actually use my products. Still not used to it. Try out Police Scanner+. It's like the next-gen 5-0 Radio. :)

Allen,

You got your heart in the right place.. Just saw the video and it was really emotional.

You didn't just give her a ride, you made the video, put that up on youtube got people to donate her money.. You opened up a new door for her.. That was very noble of you..

Can I ask, how did you get the car cam?

I am really tempted to do something similar in UK in my Bentley. If giving some unfortunate one a ride in my car can open up new possibilities for them then why not. Its all about Karma, I am a big believer in that..

I am pretty sure he used GoPro cameras. I think he had special mounts made for his car for the cameras, not sure about that though.

This was very inspirational and such a "giving" video...

What I got out of this is the power of opportunities you can provide with being financial free

Yea Rego, only the person holding that desire or dream would understand why he chose those things as his goals or dreams in the first place. You just can't put it in words. Ironically, no better explanation than this.

Holy fricking @!$(#%! I WANT ONE NOW!!!

What a nice gesture on his part, to take that girl for a ride. I also admire his strenght of character when people around him talk smack (especially those high school kids) and when they're taking photos. I would of got out and yelled "enough with the photos! it's just a car,jeez!"
+1 for Regoapps. You sir,win at life.
