He sold it all for a Lambo

"I'd eat ramen noodles to pay for gasoline, just to avoid the monotony of being stuck in four walls."

Damn I love that quote. I hate my four walls, sometimes -- but then, don't we all? I certainly couldn't do what this guy did, but I applaud him for it.

Lamborghini should repair his car for free -- he's great publicity for them. Who else is going to drive a Lambo from coast to coast like that?

I'm a little shocked that the gallardo crapped out so soon. This isn't 1960 anymore they should be more reliable than that. Then again google "gallardo"

and "fire" and you'll see many pictures.

Reading about the engineering flaws in 60's lambos are hilarious. Like the Miura.

It was a supercar designed by the guy who designed the mini and he was just a kid.

Every now and then the fuel lines would come loose and spray gasoline all over the hot engine block. Good times.

The Radiator was higher than the plumbing lines so air bubbles constantly formed and it would overheat in about 25 mins.

The Fuel tank was mounted almost above the front axel so when you started to get low on fuel you would have little control of the car. Even worse if you were traveling at high speed the car would try to take off.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
