I inadvertantly got in the middle of the Player's Run a few months ago. It was raining, I was on an interstate in Pennsylvania (81N) and this tractor trailor pulled onto the highway. I didn't have time to slow down (!), so I floored it and snuck in behind another tractor/trailor that was speeding by me on the left (he was going about 90mph). I looked in my review mirror and there were TWO Murcielagos. I didn't see them initially because they were obscurred by the spray coming off the back of the truck. So now I was stuck in the left lane, driving 93mph in the rain behind a big rig and infront of about 4 or 5 exotic cars. EEEEE. I was finally able to get to the right after I stayed with them for a few miles (that fast in the rain in that kind of company isn't smart, especially when the Hemi wasn't broken in yet). I stayed at about 80-85 miles per hour, and was passed by SL55s, Porshes, a Shelby, a Ferrari, several more Murcielagos in various colors, 911 turbos, and the odd 350Z. I eventually slowed all the way down to normal highway speeds just in time to see several of them were pulled over later.

Haha I like your signature RC, very true.

Seeing the Lambo's in person is breath taking, I look forward each year to seeing what Lamborghini has to offer at the NAIAS.

Every year we visit the NYIAS. I get to see a lot of Lambos and Ferraris up close and they are real works of art. But I saw my first one when we were driving in NYC and there was one in a lock up. It was a silver/black top 360 Spider. It was so nice.
