Default saw a Murcielago in a parking lot here tonight

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/502/bestmurci.jpg"></center><p>I'm so jazzed. It is beautiful. This one is so new that you can't even see the glass over the headlights. The pics suck because it was dark, but here's one below.

It was actually more yellow than this, but what can I do, the camera blew it.

It is incredible in person, I wish the wings were up though.

Didn't find the owner, but I suspect he/she is in the Outback Steakhouse here in Cupertino. The car is in the parking lot at 20525 Mariani Ave (old Apple Mariani 1, now SUN CDC).

Why would the new owner of a zillion dollar sports car get a $16 steak?

Default That is gorgeous. What a catch! Can't believe they're out already!

Even here in the valley. A little on the ultra-obnoxious side, these days... Do you think maybe its Jobs' latest little toy?

Default that's the thing, I don't think they are

It wasn't registered at all. I would think it was around in connection to the car shows which are making the rounds in this area right now, but that doesn't make much sense either.

What manufacturer would let their show car out on the road? It might get in an accident. It might get stolen. It would definitely get dirt down onto the undercarriage in places you can't clean easily.

Also, although Jobs has the money, I don't thin k it is his style. Perhaps Jonathan Ives' (Apple's design VP) style, and he is looking for a car right now, since he wrecked his DB7. I should have looked to see if the seat is far forward since Ives is pretty short

I can't see either one of them at Outback, Jobs is a Vegan (except he also eats Sushi).

Default Lamborghini was not shown at the SJ car show,

so that wasn't it. One report I read said they are supposed to be out around now, so it is possible that it is a delivered customer car. The Diablo was always in your face, in this economy as nice as the car is, it is a pretty obscene statement. Then again, if I was working and had the money...

My guess would be an auto mag writer was the 'owner' - reviewing the car.
