![ПОЛНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ ЭКЗОРЦИЗМА [Топ Сикрет]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qBySr6Bt0B8/mqdefault.jpg)
Imagine working for Lamborghini for over 40 years and not getting a car or not being able to afford One. It’s a slap in the face in my opinion. It’s the least they could have done.
This right here... Worked for them for 40 years and not even able to afford a used, lemon law version of one of their cars...
Trust me in Italy, if you don't have the money to buy these cars, you really don't want to be gifted one...
the tax implications in Italy of owning a car with a 3000cc engine or higher are a big turnoff
Should have atleast had a company car
That's what the company thought he was worth(Nothing). These corporations don't give a 💩 about people working for them. The only way they do is when they're forced to by law.
Or sell him one at cost
What struck me the most from all this is that, in the end, Valentino himself, the guy who played such a significant role for Lamborghini for 40 years, in the end he said he couldn't afford the car that was made as a tribute to him and had his name on it. That's a huge fail on Lamborghini's part.
The most amazing thing about this whole story is that Valentino said that he couldn't afford it and they didn't give him one. Why make a special edition and name it after your test driver then not even give him one or let him finance one? This is a HORRIBLE marketing blunder on Lamborghini's part. The car could have been the "Golden Watch" for a retirement gift. Such a missed opportunity. Even if they had a contract that he needed to go around and promote them as a "Consultant" I don't think he would have cared.
I didn't think Lamborghini was a scumbag like Ferrari but its definitely a downer.
@@davidmopar8446 Not Ferrari level bad but definitely not a good mark for them on this one.
VW!
They are thankless scumbags
What a terrible blunder by Lambo. Now it's all very 1st world problems and all that, with a horrible atrocity going on in Ukraine etc. But this story strikes me as really poor form by a famous brand towards a lifelong servant. If Lamborghini was alive this would not have happened. And how did this guy allow the company (now a soulless entity) to plaster his name on cars and make money on his name without himself getting at least a bloody car as 'a gold watch' on his retirement. Shame on them.
Yes that would have been the ultimate Golden watch.
I can see the manufacturer not gifting an employee a car but naming one after someone and then not giving them one seems like an insult to say the least. It seems like global owners groups could pitch in and buy him one. I'd chip in for that.
And more likely than not he would want it a specific way, so build it on the agreement that it also be the press car he drives
If nothing else set up a payment plan that he can live with or some shit
Just like John Cooper and the Mini Cooper,
British Leyland didn't want to pay the tiny royalty for using the Cooper name, so the 1275GT clubman (read: UGLY) replaced it, and all quick minis had the ugly square front
i am actually starting a campaign to buy Balboni a Balboni so if you could send me $2000 i will make sure it gets to him ? ill be waiting for your reply
Chevrolet gave Johnny Vega a Vega and several corvettes
Imagine sitting at your desk and getting a call from the guy himself. What a dream
The market: "E-gear? Pass."
Lamborghini: "E-gear is the market preference!"
Also Lamborghini: "Why is no one buying all these E-gear cars?"
Market preference because dealers bought a ton of those and didn’t buy anymore because they couldn’t sell. Probably thought because that so many were ordered were actually being sold
Had they all been manual (like they should have been), it would have been easy to explain them to a customer. "This is a "drivers" Gallardo. It is for the person who wants to control the car, not for the person who wants to look flash in a car that is really doing all the work for them. This is the Gallardo that even among other Gallardo owners makes you stand out. That's because this car listens to you, whereas the rest of these take your imput "under advisement". "
Any potential buyer who fancies himself an actual driver is going to want that, because he doesn't want a reason someone could say the car is doing all the work. It challenges the buyers skill, and most of the people financially affluent enough to buy these cars do NOT like being told that they aren't good enough.
I agree with you, but! I live on Canada's west coast and most of the people who are buying cars like Lamborghini and other supercars are Chinese. Most of them look like teenagers and usually, they have stuffy toys on the dashboard. I don't think they want a manual transmission.
The problem is that the people who buy these cars aren't actual driver drivers. They don't care if someone says a car is doing all the work for them cause they're rich. Once you're buying lamborghinis, cars are a status symbol not a mode of transport or fun. If people would've bought them manuel they would've made them manuel but the market showed they wouldn't sell. Its quite sad really, the manuel deserves to be put in these amazing cars
@@bruj2444 watching the video made me realize that the people who can buy these cars new are not the people who actually appreciate them. made me sad.
All this time I’m thinking Balboni has this huge Lamborghini collection.
The Balboni had such promise, They all should have been Manual, that was a huge mistake....much less not giving the man his own car.
as an aside I didnt even know they MADE manuals until Jay Emm on cars corrected me on that. as I had heard way back when that they were only being sold as E gear cars.
@@kavinskysmith4094 yeah the "e gear" got all the publicity because everyone was crazy about paddle shifting at the time....but the manual was always the choice for enthusiasts....same goes for the Audi R8....the manual may be a couple tenths slower but it's 10 times more engaging to drive.
It's always dissapointing when your saved searches notification with a manual car specified are actually automatic.
There should be a required picture of the shifter regardless of transmission type.
@@spaceghost5026 Agreed, this would help.
I had the pleasure of meeting Valentino in early 2013 when I was instructing at Circuit of The Americas for the Lamborghini Running of The Bulls. Valentino was there, acting as an ambassador for the brand and couldn't have been nicer. I've been a fan of him since before the 60 Minutes article, having read about him in Car and Driver back in the day, so to actually see him in person was so exciting! I was able to speak with him and have a photo with him atop the tower. COTA has very strict rules, and wouldn't let anyone, even Valentino, drive on track during the event without an instructor. So my buddy Patrick whom I had invited to fly out from California and work the event with me, ended up riding shotgun with Valentino for his hot laps. After he came back into the pits, I told my buddy it was so unfair that I invited him to work the event, and that HE was the one who got to ride with Valentino. My buddy was confused, and asked me who that was. He had no idea who Valentino Balboni was! Valentino was so humble and unassuming, never making a deal of it or acting like the automotive legend that he is! Yes, it is unforgivable that Lamborghini would make a tribute model named after this man, and never gift him one. Thanks for the story Ed!
This whole story sounds like something Ferrari would do. Crazy that someone higher up signed off on all this idiocy.
that is Stephan remake the countach in a smaller far more audi like form and damn the estoque Winkleman for ya, where the only thing he liked was money and anything cool always got 86'd or shoved under like that, and even ferrari privately would give the okay to certain things like the guy who group B'd a Ferrari 308
and you know, I've never actually SEEN that man drive one actually, just pose next to it, which is probably why all the cars made under him suck.
kinda like what would lambo be like if it was made under Robert McNamara, instead of Lee Icococa, bland boring, and stupid, and if anything cool got through you knew it was a mistake that got through when he wasnt looking.
@@kavinskysmith4094 Winkelmann had nothing to do with the new Countach as he was still working at Bugatti 100%. Blame it on the previous CEO and VW suits.
@@AP13P I ment in the sense that they've never changed the formula and done something different such as the Estoque or the Asteron Concept cars, they just always played it safe by making cheap knock off's of the cars that made them great
which is primarily the wedge shaped countach and its midengined format, just detuned and made easier to drive and easier to live with
which with a car where its whole appeal is its as raw as possible, flies in the face of what made it fun.
as when they took over they did three things, they started using metalic colors in place of hard solids to soften the edges of the cars, the rounded off all the edges and remove the color accents
and then put a heavy 4 wheel drive system on the cars to keep their road manners more managable, but with this they went too far and made them seem far more like audi's than lamborghini's
and the sound of the V10 engine didnt help either, it sounds nothing like a lamborghini should sound
and most ironically the audi offering the R8, not only looks better and features far more italian styling with its color accents, and features the engine that should have been in the gallardo from day one, the V8, which sounds so much better
its interior looks far more like a lamborghini should, while the lamborghini one just looks boring and dreary, like you'd expect from an audi car
hell if you look at Hoovie's car, the armadillo as I call them, the Murcie, I swear I have seen those perforated seats in a volkswaggen from the same time that car was made
vs say, look at the Tahiti Blue countach James May took for a spin in top gear, like you can change the colors all you like but it just doesnt look anything like it should.
like the design language and materials are all wrong, with winkleman gone however they are starting to get back on their feet and starting to look like lambo's again,
the countach, the new one, not withstanding, although even then that thing is far more based on the concept car than the actual car itself
which they ironically rebuilt a replica of, although with some work, and a few body kit people taking a crack at it, it might actually end up looking like a good looking car towards the end.
hell maybe all someone needs to do is redo the front clip and break up that front grill and respray it in a matt or a semi gloss red and it might look half okay really.
as they did what they always did, a metalic white sheen to detune the edges, so the design isnt coming through like it should.
like imagine that with the two tone accents of the 50th aniversary aventador they made, the only winkleman era aventador I ever liked, it might actually look pretty good with some work.
plus theirs gotta be some body options for it that can help it make look right in the front, as its funny the rears and the 3 quarters are fine, its just the front that seems off while on the lamborghini sien the car its based off of, the fronts fine and the rest looks wrong lol
like they should have just split the difference and called it something else lol
Ed is so good on camera 🤣 I remember on CarTreck when they had to do a review of their car while driving on a racetrack and Tavarish and Tyler was just struggling, Ed jumps in, one lap Bing done lol.
Besides everything you said on the video, Lamborghini biggest mistake was to pick a V10 to honor him, not a V12. A Murcielago Balboni would sell like cup cakes… what a shame considering who the guy was and still is. Great stories, love this channel!!
I am assuming size was a limitation of the engine in the Gallardo. its a smaller car.
Finally! Another story from Ed!
I remember Top Gear testing it. Hammond raced it against James in a camper trailer blimp. I recall Hammond saying the gated 6 speed felt like shaking hands with an old friend.
Now whenever I see gated Lambos I can't unhear those words.
Ed is just a talented story teller!
To be fair he’s paid to talk you out of your money. I would expect nothing less than epic stories from him
Ed sucks compared to that Cowboy fella he has on here. I think his name is Chris? The one with the smuggler truck. This is more a story of Ed crying bout not selling a car during a recession. It wasn't the RWD stopping the sales as much as the job losses from 2008 thru 2010 and a recovery that finished in 2011...
Who can’t pronounce Gallardo. Ask any paisan; they’ll tell you it’s not Spanish. Ask anyone form Sant’Agata Bolognese.
And he purposely makes his voice deeper than it really is. Watch older videos, and also watch the pronouncement of his Adam’s apple as he talks. Lame.
Wow, that was a bad oversight from the manufacturer. Good to hear a nice story from you.
Wow. I never knew this. I always thought they named it after him and also gave him one. I get the timing/money thing, but there would be so much positive publicity coming from your celebrated driver cruising around to different events in a car named for him. Massive mistake from a business point of view.
Just proves corporate greed is out of control with the people who work their lifetime & should matter to them.
I agree that they should've made them all manual. But they could've at least given him a massive discount if he wanted to buy one for himself?
Maybe they're hit pretty hard with global recession at the time so the budget is really tight
@@ardijanuar2036 The recession didn’t effect rich people with lots of money, it effected poor people who were given predatory home loans, car loans etc. by the banks.
The rich got richer from that recession
@@hotdogstandman that’s an extreme oversimplification
@@lumin9ry Explain?
@@hotdogstandman they weren't "predatory" home loans, they were subprime. I.e. giving loans to people who normally wouldn't qualify for them (bad credit score and history, low income or income-to-debt ratios, etc). And then lots of those people defaulted on their mortgages, wrecking a bunch of over-aggressive investment funds and also kind of proving the point about why lenders don't lend much to people with low incomes and bad credit histories. Plenty of rich people got absolutely hammered by that recession; essentially anyone with a significant portion of their net worth in the stock market.
I drove this car and met him. I worked for Ferrari/Lamborghini at that time and met him. He came and visited the dealership and we threw a party for him. He was really cool and laid back; we actually,had 2 of them. One was blue and the other one was orange with the white and gold stripe,true 6 speed manual. He did some donuts,perfect 360s... the car got all of attention on the road being orange and all. Cherished experience.
Valentino came to Cedar Rapids, IA with his car in the late 2000's with a cross country Rally type event. It was really cool to chat with him for a few minutes about the car and his life as a Lamborghini test driver. An odd car that I think gets overlooked.
The blue car ed tried to buy is at the driver's vault in Maryland, I saw Balboni drive it into there private Lamborghini event, I also got a picture with him
I was just thinking (before getting to the end of the video) how if anyone had the money they should have bought the blue LP550-2 and just put Balboni as second driver on their papers!
Who _wouldn't_ want to own a Balboni driven by Balboni?!?
You always have good stories Ed, thanks for sharing.
Lamborghini: Valentino..we made a car just for you!
Valentino: wow, so you are giving me one?
Lamborghini: Well no
Valentine: Well can I buy one?
Lamborghini: Sure
Valentine: Will you at least give me a discount?
Lamborghini: New phone, who dis?
We placed the Blue Balboni with a local private collector about 4-5 years ago and it remains in excellent care with a true Lamborghini enthusiast and friend of Valentino. These are great cars.
I’m always combing thru the messages to find one like this, with an update on the last known location of one of the vehicles featured in Ed’s videos, thanks for sharing!
I can listen to Ed's stories all day long, what a great and knowledgeable story teller!
Thanks for sharing your videos 👍👍
Glad you like them!
Always look forward to Eds stories!
I would have loved to hear the string of profane eloquence that emitted from Ed when he discovered the swindle that had just been perpetrated by the other dealer.
That's a shame, just lost a ton of respect for the Lamborghini, it reeks of Dutch bean counters IMO, I think the Italians would of shown a little gratitude for his decades of loyalty.
Yeah that's pretty insane by Lamborghini to not give Valentino his own car and to not pay him enough to be able to buy his own car, that's just crazy.
I got to meet Mr. Balboni at Lamborghini fest in Houston I think back in 2012 or 2013. He was really nice and signed a hat for a friend that didn't get to come to the event. I got to see him reverse an old Countach while sitting on door sill to fill it up at the racetrack. Didn't realize Lamborghini never gave him a car shame on them.
Can everybody Twitterbomb Lamborghini for Balboni to get a manual Gallardo Balboni?
There was an early white used Gallardo up in Phoenix about 2 years ago for $80K. I was tempted to sell many of my possessions to get it. Then, I found out it was the dreaded e-gear. Nonetheless, the cheapest used manual model was over $125K. Aren't manuals supposed to be the equipped in the economy line of cars?
Simply absurd Lamborghini didn't gift him one and made all the Balbos in manual
Good story Ed. I have not been impressed with the overall impression of Lamborghini from 1989 to present. They have been reluctant to pay attention to the customer and have adapted the Ferrari attitude of it should be an honor for you to talk to them. I made the pilgrimage to the factory in 2018, the museum was meh and the factory tour was expensive. The whole time we were there everyone kept repeating how happy the workers were to have the honor of working there. It got a bit creepy towards the end.
Hi, can you elaborate a bit more on this anecdote? I'd like to read more of it, specially the part where you say it was getting creepy towards the end.
@@aneudysc The tour guide, museum staff and even the sales person all repeatedly mentioned it while we were there. My wife commented that everyone seemed programmed to say it to anyone they talked to. After about the fifth time it started to sound a bit cultish. I was waiting for them to start singing “Happy Happy Joy Joy”.
@@TheCannonball79 wow 😶 I can see why you mentioned that before. It's kind of similar to where I work, some people are genuinely happy, but usually those ones are the higher ups, the normal people working here, facing the clients must not look one bit tired or unhappy, no matter how bad they feel at the moment either physically or emotionally, and we have to answer "excellent sir/ma'am" whenever someone ask "how are you?".
@@aneudysc that's called "basic customer interaction" 🙄 You're not supposed to bring your emotional problems to work and take them out on the customer FFS. Easiest way to get rid of customers is to have an employee respond to a standard greeting by complaining about how their day is and etc.
@@jsquared1013 that's okay to a degree, and it's obvious you won't be complaining about how bad your day is with a customer. I'm talking about places I've seen and worked at that workers are not even allowed to smile or laugh a little while talking with a customer, making the interaction unnatural, robotic and feels like you are talking to a slave. It's the gestures that we are not allowed to show, even if they are natural instincts of your body, like a sneeze, that I'm making emphasis, more than the scripted speech that we have to repeat a thousand times a day. And I'm just talking about retail stores and restaurants.
Mercedes and McLaren made 75 special editions of the Stirling Moss SLR. They were the final run of the SLR, all roofless speedsters, and they're worth between $2-3 million in the current market.
I don't have source on this, but I heard that when he was asked about the car he had no idea what the interviewer was talking about. Mercedes and McLaren seemingly put his name on it and he was never told anything about it.
Ed, when will we get the next season of CAR TREK?...
I'll admit, I'm addicted to all three (including Jared and Wizard) of y'all's Channels!
I had dinner with Valentino after an event in St. Louis. Super nice guy, a great storyteller and a great ambassador for Lamborghini. It's a travesty he wasn't given one of the cars with taxes paid and free lifetime service. And IF they had made them all in manual trans they'd be THE most valuable and collectible Gallardo that was made. Look at what people are paying for manual trans Ferrari / Lamborghini etc. today.
VinWiki family should set this straight, start the hunt for one of these in a manual and a gofundme to pay for it. haha.
Sounds like the equivalent of giving an oil exec a hybrid or EV for his retirement, then decaling his name on the side. Great story as always and hopefully the exec who approved this travesty (or wouldn't sign off on giving him a car) got similar treatment at their retirement.
Saw The Premier Group at and supporting the La Jolla Concourse de Elegance last week. THANKS PREMIER.
Best to you Scott 🏁
Ed's passion shines through in virtually every video!
I agree 💯! They should've had that in the production cost of that model Lamborghini!
Wish this video came out a day earlier. I just met him for the first time and chatted at dinner last night here in Texas. Would have been a great topic of discussion.
I always loved this version. Gated 6sp two wheel drive sounds like a dream. But I’ve only drove one in a magazine…
You'd think they'd at least sell him a car at a steep discount. Kinda of a slap in the face to honor a man that way and not find a way to put his butt in one. Shitty corp marketing strikes again.
Can anyone link the video Ed was mentioning where he talked about the car previously? I don’t seem to remember it..
Wait....the guy who basically built Lamborghini into the brand that it is who had a car line named for him wasn't given a car....in his name sake line......this is the honorific equivalent of what happened to
Ferruccio when he was dissed by Enzo....what a colossal fk up.....
ALWAYS Interesting Videos
Interestingly enough, I met Valentino Balboni at a car event in Columbus, Ohio. They had little pictures you could have him sign as well. One of the best days of my life for sure haha
How is marketing 2wd difficult?
Call it the real man's car and instantly the fragile male ego is challenged
Of course they want the 2wd one all of a sudden
I think his problem is he as marketing the lambos 4wd against the competition, like ferrari, so he can't just turn around and say that. then the guy is probably gonna go, 'oh, so the ferrari is for real drivers, i'll get that instead. '
If they weren't jumping up and down to get out of the 5.0L and into a 5.2L... I just don't know what to say about that. The 5.0L was a traditional supercar motor, which meant that it was fragile and had a limited lifespan, while the 5.2L was (and still is) a truly reliable production car engine that was designed and built to actually be driven.
thats cool, but the people who can afford these cars don't care.
Got a ride in a 570-4 supertrofeo stradale over the weekend. We live good lives 🤙
Well, sounds like him and you both got robbed. You got screwed on that auction and he got screwed because some bean counter couldn't figure out that writing off one car in the marketing budget was the right thing to do. This sounds like when GM stopped handing Burt Reynolds a Trans Am every year. Even when Pontiac was shuttered, they should have still sent him a Vette or a CTS-V or something else from Cadillac. The Bandit sold more cars than any one man ever did. He still selling them. :)
Great story Ed 👍 Thanks for sharing this ☝️
Glad you enjoyed it
@@VINwiki especially the part where you take the call from Valentino Balboni inquiring about one of your cars for sale at the dealership.
Ed has the most calming voice ever
They should've done it as a mucialago 2wd car.
As I recall there was a market crash in 08 which may have lead to buyers opting not to purchase.
Sounds like some bean counters at work… That’s crazy that he couldn’t get the car that was named after him!
The founder speaks! Thanks, Ed!
Balboni is one of my car heroes. So sad the way it turned out. Great content as usual. Thank you.
You should have Bob Kevoian from the Bob and Tom Show on VINWiki. He had/has a Diablo that he would drive from Indy to Nashville for an annual golf tournament
Hey Ed, are you ever going to blog your instagram moments on your youtube channel. IMO it'll be epic to see it all on Video. Peace out
Hey Ed, great story!!! 👍👍
"Balboni's Balboni!" 👌
Lambo dropped the ball by not giving him one. Jesus
If they gave him one - that would be an ultimate marketing move. Suddenly everybody would want one. “you know who 001 model belongs to?... Yes. The man himself.” that would have been awesome.
Dang Ed. Talk about having your heart crushed. I know how that feels. I had my dream car sold out from under me once. It was a 1993 Mustang cobra with 21K on it. This was in 1998, I was a senior in High School . The Ford dealership was owned by my best friend's father and they agreed to sell it to me for $500 over what they paid on trade. I was PUMPED. Turns out someone came in having seen it on the lot and offered market price and the salesman sold it.
Now you'll understand how I feel about the Lister Jags lol. Seriously, I did own a Lister XJS many years ago and stupidly let it slip away..
Honestly the Balboni stripe looked so good on black
Gallardo was super played out by the time it ws retired, also it was yet another "special" edition.
The last line summed it up, if you are not going to give the man a car, why put his name on it....
I thought it was the cleveland brown edition… 😂😂😂
Thanks for your 40 years of service.
We will be building a special edition with your name on it.
Here's a laser printed certificate that we framed for you to take home as a warm reminder of faithful servitude.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Bastards.
Damn I thought they would have all sold out instantly, I loved the story that the test drive wanted rwd.
"This car is named after you, but you can't have one. "
Weird how a Lamborghini enthusiast didn't jump at the chance to buy Balboni a car. You would not only get to meet and presumably hang out with the legend, but could have likely had him autograph and maybe even hot lap your personal car which would give it provenance of its own. That story would be worth every penny of the purchase price to buy the man a car.
Man that’s sad they didn’t even give him a special version for him… what a shame.
Truly, The Ultimae disrespect Mr. Balboni…
Countries like Italy don't allow much wiggle toom for private companies to gift employees... it becomes a work around paying taxes.... England used to have a law allowing gifts to employees with out tax penalties and they eventually did away with it as companies were gifting employees cars vs cash bonus to avoid taxes
Gotta love Italy , they can gift the Pope 15 cars but can’t find the decency to give the man who they are commemorating with the car one …
Damn, I walk past Bentley Gold Coast all the time. Might gotta toss a brick one of these days 🤷♂️
It’s disgusting that he wasn’t able to purchase or own his car. He is the figure head of the company
If you’re not gonna give the guy a car ,why put his name all over it?
Best Lambo advert ever!
I hate when dealerships advertise a car as a manual, then you look at the photos online and it’s actually an automatic. Like, c’mon. This isn’t that hard to get right on a normal car listing. Just shows how many people who work at dealerships aren’t actually car people.
I saw an orange one years ago in fort worth
Being the most influential and elegant car brand nowadays, Lamborghini is one of the market's brands that companies are trying to emulate in order to attract more customers.
We agree that a manual Balboni will always be a unicorn for collectors. The execution to market could have been much better but them staying rare, significant, and valuable is good to everyone - including Valentino!
I feel sad that Balboni didn't get to keep the car. I only got to find about him through John Temerian's videos. Certified Legend!
I had a friend who had a orange and black bicolore. Probably the best gallardo made. All Lamborghini's should have been rear wheel drive. Drove so well without the weight gone from the front drivetrain.
Damn, they did my guy Ed dirty.
This sounds like trying to sell vinyl records in a digital age. Niche market for a loyal audience.
Maybe you should check out how many vinyl records are being sold nowadays... I'm far from a niche listener and I'm listening to one right now. They've outsold cds for years now. Walk through any Target and you'll see an aisle of them... they wouldn't do that sort of merchandising if they weren't making appropriate sales off that space.
Not to harp on it, just not a very relatable analogy for anyone who actually knows what they're talking about. You're repeating an old narrative.
@@spaceghost5026 no he isn't. And your choice of comparison is CDs... FFS! How many vinyl records vs. streams would be the sensible comparison in this day and age.
@@spaceghost5026 oh really? Please show to me how much vinyl outsells “streaming” in 2022. I’m all for BACK TO MONO, but tangible format for music isn’t desired at the moment pal.
Ed! A little too fast for the fans. We like when you take your time with the story. Still great. Just a suggestion.
It would be 8 minutes longer if Ficarra told the story and it would be pure gold
Lambo sure knows how to treat a valuable employee. A lemon car. . .talk about bitter.
you used a picture of my silver one at 8:50
Get Sceriffo to speak to him and bring him VinWiki, can you imagine the stories Balboni would have on here? My god.
Why don't they give him a car now?
