I was in Mexico for the last two weeks with my wife at a spa so I gave the car to my friend Ron at Forest Hills Exotics in Jersey and he lowered it 1", had my side lights and tails painted black, painted the calipers to match the body, redid the 3M film on the front, bypassed the muffler valves on the exhaust, changed the oil and brake fluid and detailed it.

Oh and put new Pireli P-Zero Rosso's on.

You lowered a Lamborghini Gallardo 1"?
So what happens when there's, let's say, a dime on the road?

-Oh wait, new Rossos? I guess the extra tread will help you out.

Hey Gill! Been a long time. Nice Lambo! Moving up in the world I see. You've got yourself a nice stable of cars there.

I drive it everywhere when it's nice out. I don't worry at all about miles.
