If you ask me I definitely hate it. As an Auburn graduate I dislike LSU anyway However, I hear a bunch of stories about insane rich people from my wife (she works for a Ferrari dealership)...so I am not surprised by the LSU lambo.

It was only a wrap, not like he broke the bank for that one. That story still refers to it as painting because that makes him look more eccentric and crazy. The whole idea of a wrap or vinyl decal is that you can put something crazy on your car and not have to pay a lot of money to take it off.

lol, "insane rich", "way too much money". Give the guy a break he looks like he's in his late 50's early 60's and probably busted his *** for this thing. He bought it used and is probably going to sell it since he's concerned about putting miles on it. He'll take a small (relatively) hit on depreciation and be left with his memories of driving a Lambo. Let him have some fun with it. A couple grand for some temporary vinyl tiger stripes to make a scene at an LSU game and to show his love for his alma matter. Big deal.

It's ugly but he's just doing it for kicks. He's not some uber rich trust fund baby d-bag looking for some quick e-fame. He's just a dude trying to have some fun with it.

My critique: There is probably a more visually appealing way he could have achieved his goal of driving a lambo that also shows his love of LSU.

No that particular car is a murcielago SV. before the aventador the fastest lambo ever. Very different from a gallardo. Which is the entry model.
