I don't have a Lamborghini Murcielago in my driveway, but even if I had a 1989 Volvo station wagon, I clearly wouldn't want somebody riding his or her bike all over it. New windshields don't grow on trees!
This next stunt was done by BMX rider Josh Navarro, who posted this video on his Instagram account four days ago. We're pretty sure that isn't his orange Lamborghini, so it's fair to say that this video went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Riding over a Lamborghini is not only bad for the paintjob, it's also extremely dangerous. One bad move and you could land face-first on the pavement, losing a couple of teeth in the process. If you don't believe us, just check out the second video we've added, which shows failed jumps. Ouch!
Bikers usually hate car drivers. The internet is filled with GoPro footage of people being cut off, violent fights erupting and all kinds of road rage. But supercars are like the arch enemy of the average biker. Why? Because while people who use pedals to get around town stand for being green, saving the environment and a general bohemian attitude, supercar owners like people to know they are rich and frivolous.
It's like Captain Planet and the Planeteers versus the Eco-Villains. The only problem is that the biker is the one breaking the law here, and if I were the owner of the Murcielago, I would find mister Navarro and hand him over to the police with the evidence he posted on the internet.
For the record, the Murcielago has been out of production since 2010, at which point it was declared the most successful V12 model Lamborghini had built (4,099 units). Output varied a bit through the supercar's life, but this looks like the average 640 PS model.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
