They really are pussy magnets:

Yes and they are rather affordable compared to what most people would think if you were to get an older Gallardo. It simply is an aid though. It shouldn't be a fall back.

Who wouldn't be attracted to a rolling $400k piece of machinery?

I love cars but if you rely on a car for game you are playing a losing game.

Rephrased: If you rely on anything material for game you are doing it wrong.

Lambos have always been my favorite above Ferrari.

This video is great. Watch all these American women trying to keep their smug attitude composed in the midst of such ostentatious display of wealth and masculinity.

American women. What a joke.

I believe these cars are one of the ultimate expressions of game. Videos prove it. When you are alpha, you get people looking at you like in the videos.

There a bunch of ugly ones in the last ten years, but the 1980s design is the shit:

I used to just put car keys with Aston Martin keychains on my table while wearing a suit in a bar and girls would often approach me or flat out ask me to have a ride. I know one of them playfully called me Mr. Bond the whole time we were talking.

This is actually a key point here.

The car in the video generating the reactions costs about $400,000. Watching the video, however, you'll notice that many (actually, most) folks mistook it for a Gallardo. The Aventador is in an entirely different class of price and performance, but the vast majority of people can't distinguish it from a car that goes for half the price. They know it is a Lamborghini, but that's just about the extent of their knowledge.

This displays the limits of money as an aid and the power of marketing. Somebody may spend $400,000 on an Aventador just for show, but this is quite an unwise move to make when one can spend about a quarter of that (used Gallardos can go for as little as $100,000) and generate precisely the same reactions. Nobody save for the sharpest car enthusiasts would know the difference, even though that difference actually amounts to over $300,000.

This is a concept that's key to game and life in general: market yourself, and let people make positive conclusions for you. If you play the game right, you can easily have people thinking you've spent 4 times what you've actually spent, with the reactions to match.

Furthermore, this video shows us that you can spend more cash and generate improved reactions to aid your game, but there are sharply diminishing returns for this kind of investment. That extra $300,000 for an Aventador over a Gallardo doesn't get you much of anything as far as attention goes, since people really can't tell the two apart. They know a fast expensive car when they see one, but how fast and expensive it is becomes irrelevant after a certain point so long as it looks the part. This means that the extra cash should only be spent if you truly desire the car for your own sake, not anyone else's.

If you love exotic cars and wish to acquire one as an extension of this passion, then go ahead and buy one new, and feel free to spend $300,000 extra for the top of the line model.

If your love for exotic cars stands subordinate to your desire for the attention they can bring, then there is absolutely no reason for you to purchase a new exotic car. Go for a used example of the cheapest variant available. You'll get the same status boost for less cash.

For "cheap" exotic looks, I would get a Lotus Evora.

Post: #8

I react to hot cars like I react to hot girls: smug face, no reaction, but my insides are tingling.

Post: #9

Men love exotic cars, women don't. Come to my city and you will see a few dude's driving these cars on a Saturday night with no girls in the passenger side.

Not worth the investment.

I would take a Miura though!

Would this same car get this attention on South Beach? I doubt it.

The wealthier the area, the more muted the reaction.

This video was taken in Pittsburgh. You can expect a much stronger reaction there than you'd see in South Beach, Fairfield County (Connecticut) or LA.
In fact, outside of a few urban "hotspots" where such cars are more common (the aforementioned areas plus perhaps Atlanta, Dallas, NYC, The Silicon Valley, and a couple of other spots), this reaction could be considered normal.

In most parts of the country you can go years without ever seeing any kind of exotic. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans have still never actually seen a Lamborghini in person, and that's to say nothing of people in less affluent parts of the world.

Post: #12

HAHA!

These people have never seen anything like it in real life.

I see a bunch of every exotic around everyday. The largest Lambo dealership in North America is a mile from my house... so cars like these really don't impress many in Dade/Broward counties (OK I'm sure they do but reactions aren't like that)

A friend of mine, (also from Pittsburgh, like the video), told me that people back home get worked up over late-model German luxo cars, e.g. "Look at that nice Mercedes!" or "Daaamn check out that Beemer!". Knowing this I'm not totally surprised by the reactions on display.

Post: #13

I remember some car show had two guys drive around LA in a Aventador and a complete undrivable Sailor Jerry Rat Rod. Bunch of dudes fawning over theLambo, but at every stoplight girls would ask what kind of car the rat rod was.

Living in Houston, exotic cars are a dime a dozen, but I got a friend who drives a 69' GT500 and its a complete show stopper for girls because its so loud and unique.

Spend 400k on an original Shelby Cobra would probably equal her letting you do anal in my estimation

or better yet spend 40k on a replica, she won't know the difference

Post: #14

I can't believe the reactions that gets. People stopping, crossing the road, getting out of seats in restaurants to lick the windows to have a look. What the fuck?

Maybe it's because I lived in Dubai and became desensitized to seeing these supercars but I don't recall ever acting like that even before I went. Just goes to show the average mindset of people. "We gotta get pictures!!!"

Is Pittsburgh not affluent or something?

Post: #15

I absolutely love cars and used to remember when and where I'd seen any exotic. Then I moved to London one summer. Mind blown, especially by the Arabs who fly their exotics over for the summer and part them all on Knightsbridge. Stopped looking, stopped counting, stopping thinking twice about them.

About a month after I lived there I stumbled down a side street off Old Brompton Rd and saw this little guy...mind blown again.

Pittsburgh is only as affluent as the vast majority of places in the USA.

Places like Dubai, London, Miami and LA are the exception, not the rule. Supercars are only common in a handful of places. Most places are like Pittsburgh in that supercars are extremely rare and, consequently, get a lot of extra attention when they show up.

This reminds me that getting my lifestyle right and increasing my bankroll are the two most important things in my life at the moment.

Fair enough. I'm not really clued up on American cities but I would've thought that the bigger cities in each state would have their fair share of moneymakers.

I used to live in a pretty small city in the middle of the countryside and there were a few supercars about, but the owners were generally 50+. I guess I'm not programmed like most people to drop everything and be amazed at things like that, or at least show it anyway. Like Roosh said, inside I'm tingling or thinking "damn I want one".

I've always wanted a Lamborghini though, it's one of my life goals to own one.

In South Texas, people would see more 70K trucks than luxury vehicles. Lambo would blow peoples mind.

I only watched a few seconds of the video.

Wasn't it mostly guys that were reacting?

Well of course.

Why would anyone with 2 Twenty Dollar Bills to rub together ever go to Pittsburgh?

Personally I've only seen a couple lambo's and ferrari's in my life but I've seen hundreds and hundreds of porsches. Outside of a future major hot spots lambo's / ferraris are exceptionally uncommon. This is in the GTA in Canada.

In Cuba the most expensive car I've ever seen is an Audi A8 to put things in comparison.

This applies to motorcycles also. If you want to know if Squid boy on the crotch rocket can really ride, check the scuff marks on the edge of the tires. It's crazy how people who can afford these cars never think twice to spend a bit of cash and take a performance driving/riding course. So when you're on that freeway ramp or making a turn like this vid will demonstrate, you won't panic if the rear say fuck you i'm doing my own thing.

1. To play football
2. To play hockey
3. To play baseball

That's about all I've got.

That being said, there is some substantial old money hanging around in Pittsburgh, some of which I've laid eyes upon in college. They're the establishment that has owned most of the local pro sports teams and major businesses and has founded many of the areas prominent institutions (ex. Carnegie Mellon).

The few exotic cars that do exist there are, in most cases, probably tied to them. Lord knows they can afford the things.

I grew up and still live in Houston and my Dad had a Ferrari Testarosa when I was growing up. People do mad dog you like crazy when you're driving through traffic and they will also come up to you and ask to take pictures next to the car and shit like that. I was always really embarrassed from all the attention and genuinely hated getting picked up or dropped off at school by him in it. All my friends thought I was fucking crazy, of course. What I remember best is that the Ferrari had a really wimpy sounding horn, something like a mix between a deflated bicycle horn and a yelp from a chihuahua that just get stepped on.
