Tires – Be sure to check both the tire pressure and tread on all 5 of your tires (don’t forget about the spare). If you are unsure what your tire pressure should be, look for the manufacturer sticker when you open the passenger side door. To check your tread life, take a penny and place it in between the tread with Lincoln’s head pointed down. If you can see the top of the former President’s head, it is recommended that you replace your tires before embarking on your trip. Many regions have patterns of afternoon rain storms that could be dangerous on tires without adequate tread. Also, be sure to check the valve stem for cracks.

Fluids – Heat will wreak havoc on an engine. Make sure your vehicle has plenty of vital fluids to keep your engine cool and vacation on track.

Be sure to change your oil before hitting the road and consider using thicker weight oil than you might normally use as the summer heat will thin the oil. Check and replace or refill each of the fluids under your vehicles hood, including: transmission fluid, differential fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid and coolant.

Motor Engine Components

Battery and cables – Inspect the terminals on your battery. If they are corroded, clean the terminals with a mixture of baking soda and water. Also be on the lookout for any cracks or dirt. Hot weather drains the life from your battery quickly. Be sure to have it tested before setting out on your road trip to ensure your battery will make the trip with you and your family.

Radiator and hoses – Overheating is the leading cause of mechanical breakdowns on our nation’s highways. Check fluid levels in your radiator and for any cracks in the hoses connecting your radiator.

Other Components

Air Conditioning – The summer months bring the hottest temperatures in even the mildest climates. Checking to make sure your air conditioning is functioning properly before leaving will keep everyone smiling on your vacation. Turn the air conditioning on and cover a vent with your hand to check the fan speed and temperature of the air that is being produced. Be sure to listen for any unusual noises while it is running and then shut it off and listen for any noises.

Lights – Checking all interior and exterior lights on your vehicle will help keep you and your family safe on your journey. Have someone help you to check your headlights, high beams, turn signals, hazard lights, license plate light, brake lights, and interior lights.

Indicator lights – It’s never a good idea to drive with a check engine or other malfunctioning indicator light illuminated on your dash, especially on a long trip. Engine problems should be diagnosed and fixed prior to departure to keep your vehicle running smoothly throughout your trip.

Safety Kit – You never know what the road might bring, so be sure to prepare for common breakdowns with a small safety kit. Here is a list of items to include: basic tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers), a flashlight with fresh batteries, first aid kit, jumper cables, tire iron, jack, cell phone charger and drinking water in case you have to wait in hot temperatures for an extended period of time.

At Sarasota Lamborghini we want to make sure you are safe on the road this summer. Feel free to bring your vehicle to Sarasota Lamborghini for a road trip inspection before you embark on your journey if you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with any of the safety checks described here.

The V10 Lamborghini Gallardo, with its permanent four-wheel drive, has become the most successful Lamborghini model of all time. Starting with the original Gallardo Coupé launched in 2003, the model range was extended with Spyder and Superleggera models as well as special editions such as the Gallardo SE and Nera.

The current Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupé was launched in 2007 with increased power denoted by its ‘560’ badge, and permanent four-wheel drive signified by the ‘4’. The same enhanced performance and technical modifications characterize the LP 560-4 Spyder, which was announced in 2008.

The limited edition two-wheel drive LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni was revealed in 2009 and at the most recent worldwide premiere at Geneva Auto Salon this year Lamborghini presented the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera: a lightweight version of the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4, with a top speed of 325 km/h and acceleration from 0-100 km/h of 3.4 seconds.

All clients are able to take advantage of the Ad Personam program, which allows owners to customize further their Lamborghini car to create a unique super sports car.

“Production of car number 10,000 is a very important milestone for Lamborghini,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Lamborghini brand is extreme, uncompromising and Italian, and the Lamborghini Gallardo has played an exemplary role in defining and delivering our brand reputation into our worldwide markets. Today Lamborghini is represented in 45 countries by over 120 dealers, with the strength and presence of the Gallardo product playing a significant role in the growth and recognition of our brand.”

The Lamborghini Gallardo has won numerous international awards for its dynamic performance, design and brand integrity, from media, international automotive groups and design councils. The Lamborghini Gallardo has been famously featured in music videos and films, and its client list features numerous celebrities, sports stars and VIPs.

A couple of Gallardo have been donated to the Italian state police, and a race version of the Gallardo LP 560-4 features in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo: the one-make race series running in Europe launched by Automobili Lamborghini in 2009.

The achieved record with the Gallardo number 10,000, in yellow “Midas” and destined for China, will be celebrated also during the ‘Lamborghini Day’ in Shanghai, 25th June, before being delivered to its owner. In the first event of its kind in China, Lamborghini will showcase eight cars from its super sports car range.

But what to buy?

A Lamborghini. Yes, how about a nice Lambo for the six-car garage?

You could wait for the new version of the Murcielago supercar, called the Jota, out in a year or so. Patience probably clashes with your designer duds, though.

Instead, try the latest toy off the line in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy — the LP 570-4 Superleggera, a top-line version of the Gallardo coupe that was released three years ago. It’s got “super” in the name after all, a good start.

Superleggera means “super light” in Italian and Lamborghini surgeons have sculpted away 154 excess pounds. That’s the equivalent of losing a supermodel, her toy dog, oversized Balenciaga purse and emotional baggage.

Carbon Fiber

Light cars handle better and are quicker from a dead stop, but replacing steel with aluminum and carbon fiber is expensive. For the Superleggera’s premium you get sheets of weaved carbon fiber inside and out, so gorgeously sculpted you could hang one of the carbon-encased side mirrors on the wall alongside the Matisse. You’ll also find the pricy material on the rear wing and seat backs.

Not including fluids like gasoline and oil, the car weighs less than 3,000 pounds, the lightest car Lamborghini makes.

But you still get air conditioning and auto windows.

So, this is luxury?

It is when you live in a world of bragging rights where the winner is measured in tenths of a second. The LP 570-4’s mid- mounted V-10 is up-rated to 562 horsepower, and 60 mph will show on the speedometer in about 3.3 seconds.

Nuclear Green

While you can still buy it in colors that don’t exist in nature (nuclear green for example), the Superleggera is a serious sports machine, in direct competition with the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, also a light-weight version of a popular road- going car.

Lamborghini execs are well aware of the brands past reputation as a favorite among urban cowboys with a penchant for thick gold-rope chains and illegal pixie powder. They are working to be taken seriously by the car cognoscenti, and the Superleggera has appeal that transcends the Miami Beach crowd.

Older Lamborghinis were mostly designed for top speed, and this one will hit 202 mph if you could only find the road. Engineers are now aiming for superior handling and cool design.

The Gallardo is undeniably exotic-looking, an atomic wedge meant to slice through air. Yet unlike older Lamborghinis such as the Diablo, it lacks the oversized wing and frivolous details. It’s more serious and much cooler.

Racetrack Test

I was only allowed to drive it on the racetrack, away from bumpy roads and traffic jams. From the moment I closed the featherweight door and tried to position myself in the tight cocoon, my senses were on high alert. I couldn’t quite get comfortable with my head brushing the roof (I’m not sure how you’d manage a helmet). The experience is more boot-camp bossing than champagne cosseting.

Soon I was tearing into tight corners, slithering onto the inside curbing and then going hard on the gas, allowing the car to slide to the opposite side of the track. Peals of rubber sounded like gun shots.

Like all Lamborghinis, this is all-wheel-drive, but the persistent understeer of previous models is mostly gone. Handling was spirited and predictable. The car’s lightness is abetted by a tweaked suspension, as unforgiving as a drill instructor.

At day’s end, the obscenely wide, profusely angular profile recedes anonymously into more plebian southbound traffic on California Interstate 15 – sort of. From a distance, the best clues as to its identity might be triangular LED arrays embedded in the head- and tail lamps. Possibly the elusive silhouette of a massive carbon wing sprouting behind the hexagonally faceted decklid like some endoskeletal extrusion. Were someone to come close enough, you know, in the dark.

For your part, you keep your distance. Over the last seven or eight hours you’ve developed a distinct driving ethos, one that keeps as much distance as possible between yourself and any and all surrounding traffic. This helps prevent any unthinkable sorts of incidents like blown semi tires pealing off and raking across expensive carbon panels, or the odd gawker careening into your lane as he snap pics with a cell phone while unwittingly steering with his eyes. (Turns out that happens more often than you may have expected.)

Under cover of night, some might feel inclined to spear the far left lanes and unleash 12-cylinder hell. You know better. You cruise the number-two in sixth gear, tach needle barely cresting 3000 rpm, a hypnotic thrum from the rear-mid-mount V12 coursing through the cockpit in overlaying pulses like waves lapping across a sonic beach.

Fixed-back carbon bucket seats, trimmed in copious velvet Alcantara, cradle your posterior. Lateral support for even your fashionably spindly frame is quite good, but after a full day of driving, your backside is sore. And your right heel has become uncomfortably tenderized from acting as a fulcrum against that godawful-stiff gas pedal – prodding, modulating, and flat-out stomping to induce the occasional fit of laughter).

Had you doubts, the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is no luxury car in the traditional sense, no cosseting sissy-boy GT. What it is is simply the most pissed-off, aurally outlandish, wet-your-pants-fast super sports car to come carted off the Sant’Agata Bolognese assembly line. Ever. That should say a lot.

Yeah, when the standard Murci just isn’t outrageous enough – or maybe just a tad too posh – the SV strategically puts the hard in the hardcore. Its 6.5-liter engine makes 670 cavallo vapore, translating to an equal 670 metric horsepower – up from 640 hp. The EPA speculates it’ll net about 11 mpg combined fuel economy. It costs $450,000 to start – before you add any options, destination charges, or a $5,400 gas-guzzler tax.

For many, initial reaction to these figures might be horror or disdain. Possibly even horrified disdain. But the SV really doesn’t care for mortal financial insecurities. And it really doesn’t care what people think. It only wants to be fed – on petrol and pavement, miles upon miles upon miles, any and all indigenous flying insect life, sand and gravel, puppies. (OK, I made that last one up.)

There persists a stereotype for Lamborghini buyers. Historically it’s the low-buttoned silk shirt, the obligatory tuft of chest hair, the gold chain, and silk pants. For the well-moneyed, the car might be considered more fashion accessory than mode of transport – it’s even been marketed as such by S.Agata itself. The world’s greatest automotive injustice could potentially be that 95 percent of these cars will end up serving time doing a 45-mph V-max on some neon-lit downtown social strip like Ocean Drive in South Beach or Sunset in Hollywood. It’s like putting a thoroughbred to pasture on a putting green. Wrong, abusive even.

But where can you go to really drive the thing? Nowhere, of course – or more accurately, the middle of it. The California high desert seems ideal with its lonely mountain roads and long, wind-swept stretches.

Equipped as it is with the massive Aeropak wing, the SV, according to Lamborghini, is capable of a mere 209- mph top speed. Without the wing it’ll supposedly top out at 212, but without the downforce afforded by this rear accoutrement, could squirm a little at that velocity. Frightening stuff.

At lower velocities the steering, in spite of power assistance, is ponderous and massively deliberate. At speeds under 25 mph the thing handles like a battleship – and wearing this paint it comes dressed appropriately. Flipping three- and four-point turns on gravelstrewn desert roads for impatiently screaming photographers is likely to inflame your carpal-tunnel.

At speed, the ratios tighten up considerably to offer seemingly clairvoyant levels of response. Mere millimeters of steering angle and the vehicle tracks. On long-sweeping sections or mildly decreasing-radius ’pins, the SV tracks like a slot car. I mean, there’s no possible way you’d be able to lose it, right? It feels like the road itself would sooner lose traction on the Earth’s crust, the Lambo’s 335-width rear Pirelli Rossos flinging ribbons of tarmac into the desert as the SV snarls cartoonishly toward an unmoving horizon.

On tighter roads the proposition becomes more frightening, mainly due to the Murci’s supersized sports car footprint. It’s got more or less the same front and rear track as a Porsche Cayenne SUV with a little less wheelbase, and much, much lower to the ground.

Whatever the case, you’re having a hard time thinking of a more convincing supercar. A bit slower maybe, but the SV is still more visually convincing than the hamloaf styling of a Bugatti Veyron. The Koenigseggs or Paganis of the world might offer comparable performance – but what do we see, a handful of those every year? This SV is one of 350 to be built. And anyway, it’s a Lambo. It’s got staying power.

Dipping now into the basin that holds the greater metro area surrounding Los Angeles, you dip into the throttle a little bit deeper. In sixth gear, acceleration is languid but builds steadily, the thrumming of the engine peaking to a long-winded roar that rises exponentially in pitch.

Out of nowhere, a nondescript Japanese sedan pulls up alongside you. Dad, sitting in the front seat, recognizes the silhouette and points excitedly. A small, wide-eyed face peers out the back window, nose pressed against the glass.

You’ve been pretty good today, you think. Karma should be back on your side after showing so much restraint. May as well give the kid a show.

Extending two fingers on your left hand, you give the column-mounted carbon shift paddle a rapid click click click. The gearbox instantly shifts down three gears and the engine screams. Hard in the throttle, you watch the tach needle spike past 5000 rpm and whip toward redline with a sound like the sky tearing open. Your head hits the Alcantara headrest; you upshift, then upshift again as the SV leaps two, six, twelve car lengths ahead and disappears into the night.

It’s only later that you realize the poor kid will probably never be the same. Your work today is done.

This is his amazing story.

It’s a love story, but not a conventional one. Oh sure, there’s a woman. There always is. But it’s when the woman split that the real romance began. Richard Jordan lost love, and then found it again in an exotic Italian sports car and the American road. Jordan’s journey would take him across the country and back again repeatedly as he racked up nearly 100,000 miles in a car so expensive most owners rarely drive them at all.

It was early 2006 and Jordan’s version of the American dream lay crumbled at his feet. After giving his girlfriend of five years a ring and a house in a north Texas suburb – a home purchased with the proceeds from selling his metal-fabrication business, his home and a few of his cars – she left him.

“I bought us the house and planned on moving in and as soon as I did, she left,” Jordan says. “So, I got stuck in a house I didn’t want, in an area I didn’t want to be in…. It was kind of emotionally traumatic. So I bought the car and wandered around.”

It wasn’t actually as easy as that.

No one wanted to buy Jordan’s house. He was stuck with it. It took months to sell the rest of his possessions. That money, combined with most of life savings, provided a $90,000 down payment on a Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Gallardo is named for a famous Spanish bull. Its mid-mounted V-10 engine unleashes 512 horsepower. Its sharp looks hint at its performance: The car does zero to 60 in just 4 seconds and tops out at 195 mph for the model Jordan purchased for $180,000.

After locating the right model and arranging the financing, Jordan picked up his black Gallardo Coupe from Lamborghini of Ohio on July 4, 2006. Independence Day was almost intentionally ironic, the day Jordan chose to leave everything he’d created but now no longer wanted.

“I’d become a prisoner to my house, to everything, to my fantasy of an American dream or anything I could remotely call home,” he says.

He owned one of the fastest cars in the world but had nowhere to put it. So, he started driving. For more than a year he wandered from place to place, living in motels and making new friends. He’d cross the country three times.

“It was just a feeling that I didn’t really have a home, there was no place to safely be but the Lambo,” he says. “That was the one thing that felt like it worked for me.”

Jordan visited ghost towns and big cities. He retraced childhood trips. As soon as he’d settle down, he’d get the itch to move, so he’d pack up and drive somewhere else. It quickly became difficult to pay for the house – the one remaining possession he couldn’t shake – and afford gas. He almost lost the house numerous times.

“I have a few hundred grand against me. I don’t like debt, but I’m used to it,” he says. “I’ve accumulated a lot and paid it back several times in my life.”

Wandering the country brought as much joy and humor as it did introspection and isolation. While visiting a strip club in Ohio, Jordan, who was 32 at the time, was mistaken for the musician Moby. The waitress was convinced because of his shaved head, glasses and fancy car.

“She’s like ‘You’re Moby, aren’t you?’ and I said ‘I’ll be anyone you want me to be,’” Jordan says. “She took it as ‘I’m Moby.’”

He isn’t, of course, but he’s not above accepting free bottles of champagne when offered.

“It was just ridiculous. The manager’s kissing my butt. I maybe spent $100 the whole night and it was just really, really silly and absurd,” he says.

Driving a Lamborghini means occasionally driving above the speed limit. Jordan’s honest about his desire to go fast and has 53 tickets to prove it. But it wasn’t speed that landed him in the handcuffs of an Indiana state trooper.

Though living on the road, Jordan did have family responsibilities, like serving as the best man in his cousin’s wedding. While en route to the wedding he was caught speeding and ran afoul of the Indiana State Police. He was soon looking down the highway at a roadblock. His registration expired the day before, giving the troopers cause to search his car

That’s when they found the handgun.

“I don’t travel without guns,” Jordan says. “I’ve been in too many situations so I always carry one or two guns with me. A car like that is an assault on the senses, and you could be in a decent area and just be barraged by people and you never knew who you’re dealing with.”

At first he didn’t grasp the gravity of the situation – the police thought he was moving drugs – so his calm demeanor, jokes about hating the town he was in and a general Blues Brothers-like schtick didn’t go over well. The troopers kept him in the back of a squad car for four hours, eventually releasing him on his own recognizance after realizing they couldn’t load the Lambo on a flatbed without his help. He eventually got the car back and the charges settled, but it cost him $25,000 in fines, travel and legal fees.

Most people who own an exotic don’t use it as a daily driver because they’re so expensive. The highest mileage among the Lamborghini Gallardos for sale on eBay Motors is 38,835 for a 2004 model, but most of them are below 10,000.

Jordan racked up 91,807.

“I can’t afford to buy something like that and drive it on the weekend,” he says. “The difference between being materialistic and not is when you use what you have.”

For Jordan, it’s a better value to drive the car because they lose so much value once you buy them. But all that driving comes at a price. After all that hard time on the road, the engine timing chain stretched, crunching the valves and turning Jordan’s car into an exotic and expensive paperweight. It’s worth less than he owes on it, and the bank refuses to grant him another loan.

“For me, it’s wasteful not to use it,” he says. He feels that way about everything. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a dishwasher. That’s not really socially acceptable. It’s not the way we’re programmed…. Most people don’t live like I do. I’d eat ramen noodles to pay for gasoline, just to avoid the monotony of being stuck in four walls.”

Considering the traumatic experience that led him to buy the car, its destruction doesn’t seem to burden him too much.

“It worked every day, it worked like it was supposed to, it never broke down,” he says. “It exceeded all my expectations.”

The loss of his car isn’t the end, but a beginning. He’s setting up a shop in Dallas and plans to build custom motorcycles. He also plans to repair or replace the Gallardo’s engine when he can afford it. But for now it sits in his shop, an interesting sculpture to show friends and prospective customers. He’s also met a new girl, but he’s taking things one step at a time.

Jordan doesn’t regret any of the decisions he’s made. He adopts a Zen-like calm tone – which would seem to clash with his mohawk – while explaining how lucky he was to be able to leave everything behind and do something many people dream about but few ever do.

“You’re never going to live up to anyone’s expectations, so you might as well live up to your own – and for me that’s to be as free as you can,” he says. “And if money doesn’t buy you freedom, then it’s useless.”

How to Double-Check For an Alignment

To see if you need a wheel alignment, first check each tire and look for uneven wear patterns. You can do this by taking a coin to each tire and inserting it in the tread at the outside, center, and inside of the tire.

If the tread is deeper on the edges than in the center, the tire is over inflated.

If the tread is deeper in the center than the edges, the tire is under inflated.

If the tread is deeper on one side than the other, have your wheel alignment checked soon.

If you run your hand back and forth across the tread (be careful not to cut yourself on any debris) and the tread is smooth in one direction, but jagged in the other you have what is called a “saw-tooth” wear pattern caused by a toe-in problem. If your tires have a “saw-tooth” wear pattern, have the alignment checked as soon as possible as this can cause unsafe tire wear.

Aligning Your Tires

There are two types of wheel alignments, a two-wheel alignment and a four-wheel alignment. The four-wheel alignment is the best type of alignment to get for a vehicle. Having all four wheels aligned increases safety when driving down the road.

Having proper wheel alignment insures that your vehicle handles properly and returns the wheels on your vehicle to their correct angle. When your wheels are properly aligned you will not have to fight with your steering wheel when driving to make the car drive straight, or make the steering wheel stop vibrating. Maintaining proper wheel alignment can also increase gas mileage and decrease tire wear.

By making small adjustments and keeping up with regular maintenance items, like keeping your wheels aligned, can help you avoid a major breakdown in the future, and prolong the life of your vehicle.

If it has been longer than a year since your last alignment, and you are experiencing symptoms described here, or are unsure if you need an alignment, bring your vehicle into the Lamborghini Sarasota Service Department. One of our highly trained Service Technicians can take a look at your vehicle, realign your vehicle’s wheels, and get you back on the road safely.

Named after the famed Lamborghini test driver, the special edition Gallardo LP550-2 is a rear-wheel drive super car.  Not having the all-wheel drive performance offered in the normal Gallardo, Lamborghini had to add specially tuned suspension components. New springs, dampers, stabilizers, and special Pirelli P Zero tires allow the Gallardo Valentino to offer handling performance that rivals the all-wheel drive version.

Power comes courtesy of a 5.2 liter V10 monster, capable of producing 550 horsepower and over 500 lb ft of torque. The powerful engine paired with the unique suspension setup of the Valentino Balboni allows the car to rocket from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 199 miles per hour. This type of performance in a rear-wheel drive application makes it intimidating, even to the most seasoned driver.

The looks of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni stay true to the original Gallardo, featuring angular design, menacing stance, and refined yet functional interior. The exterior features a unique paint combination of bright orange and a single white stripe down the middle of the hood, which carries over onto the interior seats.  Inside the engine bay the V10 is carefully wrapped in carbon fiber molding and covered with a see through deck.

Talk around the water cooler is that this special edition Lamborghini isn’t for every Lambo buyer and if not careful could be the nail in the coffin. It’s an incredible amount of power delivered to just 2 corners of a tightly wound package. Lamborghini offers an off/on stability control, which should only be turned off by the most experienced and with plenty of room on the road. Industry analysts who were lucky enough to sit behind the wheel were quick to note that the rear end of this beast was surprisingly well behaved, but if attention is not paid, would quickly catch up to the bumper nose. When a professional is at the controls, the Gallardo Valentino Balboni is the second fastest Lamborghini ever made and capable of 60 ft times faster than the all-wheel drive LP550-2.

So the Murcielago in the Quattro Veloce avatar has a whole new front look that has aggressive air intakes, an air splitter along with a redesigned hood. Fresh new wings and a new fuel filler cap make up the sides of the car while at the rear, there’s an oversized diffuser as well quite a large wing.

Powering the Quattro Veloce will be a V12 engine that is housed within a cage again made of carbon fiber. DMC has revealed there’s also a version available that will have a remapped ECU while the package will also include diamond forged carbon fiber rims that boasts of white finish, something that the German tuner says is a world first.

In the interior, the package has on offer custom carbon fiber racing seats complete with a special ostrich leather finish. And for those who haven’t heard much of DMC, the 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost ‘Numero Uno’ has been the creation of this very tuning company.

However, there are some details available pertaining to the new car. Like its going to have a maximum height of around 114 cm and will call upon the same V12 engine that the Italian manufacturer has been using since 2001 to do duty on this car too. The engine however has been tweaked so that it now makes over 700 hp, a figure that will help the new car to hold on to the tag of being the best supercar.

There is some ambiguity as to how Lamborghini intends to cut some of the flab of the new car. While some sources indicate that it’s going to be achieved by the use of a carbon fiber body, others indicate that judicious use of aluminum will help make the new Lamborghini a lean and mean machine.

The car is expected to be unveiled at a big Auto Show like the Paris Motor Show to be held in September. However, those keen to lay their hands on one will have to wait till early 2011 when its likely to begin streaming at showrooms. Lamborghini has made it known that the new car will not cost in excess of 300,000. Also for those who have been saying the new Lamborghini won’t have any Lambo doors, here’s the latest update: the new car will have Lambo doors.
