Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder: Follow-up test including video

Inside Line has a nice follow-up test of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder including some really great pics and even a video.

"That's what I love about L.A. — the theater of it all."

This was my wife's response after I called her from Rodeo Drive while behind the wheel of a Balloon White 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. And don't ask us how Lamborghini came up with "Balloon White." We could have gone with "Pearl White" or "Acropolis White." Heck, even "Miami Vice White" would have worked for us.

Regardless of its name, the color — along with the Gallardo's creased angles, sparkling 19-inch wheels and F1-like exhaust wail — effectively captured the attention of every Rodeo Drive patron on this sunny spring afternoon.

"But, honey," I insisted, while ignoring her "theater" comment, "There are girls that look like supermodels glancing my way."

"Sure, Karl. They're supermodels just like you're a Lamborghini Gallardo owner with a valid reason to visit Rodeo Drive."
