Traditionally, Italian racing cars should be red (just like French ones used to be blue, German ones white, and British ones dark green - or “British racing green” as the colour is still called). White on a Lamborghini is just … wrong.

British racing green should be called Irish racing green, because it was first used by an Irish race team before Ireland got it’s independence.

The team, which belonged to the London-based Napier car company, was English but the race was in Ireland (1903 Gordon Bennett cup), so green was used as a mark of respect for the hosting country. Even though lighter greens were used for a while, eventually the dark-green shade stuck.
Britain had to go with green in the first place because when British teams started competing in car races, the real national colours red, white, and blue were already spoken for by other countries.

I’ve always thought that car colors like “Arrest-Me Red” and “Yo! Officer! Yellow” were not a good idea if you don’t like tickets.

Yeah he’s definitely a non-rich fool. Owning a car like that is not like owning a Camry. An oil change costs thousands of dollars. Tires, which don’t last very long on that, cost thousands. A car wash costs hundreds. Insurance must be over $1,000 a month.
His second mortgage is financially insane and leaves him with probably no money to keep the car on the road. He probably realized that and that is why he is trying to get out of the deal, leaving the dealer with the loss of value in the car that he’s trying to get his money back on. It won’t work like that. I can’t believe that there’s a paint problem in Lamborghinis.
If you can’t pay cash for it you can’t afford a luxury car.

I’d bet money that’s not even an actual paint job but a wrap. These days wraps are a pretty popular alternative to paint since you can try any number of outrageous schemes without diminishing the value of your vehicle as you can always just remove it later. (That said, a high quality wrap will be just about as expensive as actually getting it painted.)

I think it’s safe to say that anyone who can afford a new Lamborghini can probably afford a speeding ticket.

I actually like that pink leopard print pattern.

Sure, it’s easy to make fun of a guy that would get a 2nd mortgage for an unreliable supercar. However, you can live in your car, but not drive your house.
If you really wanted to live in a car, you would be better off selling the supercar and getting something with a bit more room, reliability and fuel economy.

Which is a wonderful argument for proportional fines.

Who invents the names for these things?
Lambo has the Huracan Spyder. Huracan, because the car is enormously powerful and moves fast - Spyder because…I dunno. Perhaps this one should have been called a Lamborghini Jaundice.
Toyota at least showed restraint by not naming one of its models Virus … although there was a French Cyclecar model back in the day known as the Virus.
White isn’t a color anyway.

If you find someone that actually can do it. It is no fun to get a vintage car that never had an actual oil change because not a single mechanic figured the different rules for a dry sump. Yes, I’, speaking from experience.
Write on a Lamborghini is just … wrong.
