Yes, Ed for the love of God stop making these videos. I love the videos, but I love the car more and it’s becoming more difficult for me to attain. So please stop.
I recently made a similar happy mistake buying a CLK63 Black Series. Saw the car on BaT, thought the bid was way too low, threw in one bid thinking surely I'll be outbid or the reserve won't be met, then won the auction. Can't say I'm too disappointed, the car is phenomenal. That car is the epitome of "if you know, you know." No one bothers me at the gas pump, but at Caffeine & Octane you're instantly a celebrity.
Enjoy it, don’t just rub it with a diaper in the garage. My father bought one new and never really drove it. I inherited the car in 2012 and take it out on the weekends plus track it when I can. I recommend the same to you. You only live once the hell with resell value.
@@cleansweepbayarea I've been driving it quite frequently, already have added 2,500 miles since November. It's way too good of a car to leave it sitting!
I love that Ed mentions how the blue car was an accident every single time it's in a video like an alcoholic blue collar Dad who only wanted two kids but ended up with 3 😂
Some would say he's a lucky man, but this dude created businesses and went for it. Now he's reaping the rewards. Respect. I will one day have a collection that others will aspire to as well.
@@revolutioncustoms6894those are millionaire/billionaires they might know some power numbers of that but Ed knows the story’s and origins of these cars and appreciates them. To those guys it’s just another car they could replace any day of the week.
The other big push for automatic shifted gearboxes (regardless if it's an automated manual, dual-clutch, or torque converter) was 2 fold - it makes the cars more 'reliable', sadly a lot of people who buy manuals don't know how to drive them - it cuts down on warranty and maintenance claims. The other side is that it makes working around emissions standards much easier, the tests are very specific and laid out, so you can program a gearbox around them - some carmakers took that too far and got caught doing it, but there is reason why the PDK in a P-car is in 7th gear at 40-50mph if you are in traffic.
An automated manual that is almost never more reliable than a standard manual. You have hydraulic systems doing the shifting and a lot more parts that can fail, versus a traditional manual. Not to mention, in the 2000s, the systems doing the shifting often rode the clutch much more than any human would, wearing your clutch down faster. In the 2000s e-gear and f1 transmissions were solely marketed as cutting edge tech, and faster shifting; it was never for reliability like you’re saying. I say this having owned a Gallardo.
I love the color Ed, the Murcielagois a wonderful car anyway, but that color looka so good on it. Mat armstrongs shade of green looks good, dont think its a 640 but still its sounds good and looks good too. The noise on start up, only car that beats that for me is the Porsche Carrera GT sorry but i prefer that, dont hate me. Both of these cars have been iconic since I was a child. Can't wait for more content from you Ed, looking forward to a new series of Car-Trek if you manage to gwt Tyler and Freddy into gear 😅
Would never think of a Diablo as "garrish". If anything, I'd say the Aventador is garrish. Diablo is a absolutely classic lamborghini design. Even more so than the Murcielago. The Diablo is elegant yet alien.
Ed…. Saying the Murci is more rare than an F1 is a STRETCH. There’s 106 F1 examples across ALL trims. How many Murcis are there across all trims? Not just LPs…
Hey Guys, TT here! I’m live right now telling you exclusively that next great car. It’s practical, stylish, and economical. But don’t let that fool you as it’s nimble, small, and easy to work. This hot import knows no bounds! So get fingered sesrching because the 2012 Corolla is the next great car to appreciate in value. Spread the word! 😅
I love the video, love the passion for the LP, but I cant help but think and see that Ed here is constructing his argument of the LP vs the F1. The only issue in the argument is the value of these cars. Whoever can afford 3x of either, in their right mind should not care about the miles they put on them, but we live in a matrix. I love the Murcielago line in general, the LP being awesome, anything manual V12 is basically insta win. BUT, there are a grand total of ZERO ways and LP would persuade me to think it is objectively or subjectively better than an F1. I simply cannot see it, I also personally love the raspiness of the BMW V12 and the godlike intake noise over the glorious banshee V12 of the LP. Price is the only limiting factor, one car is at minimum 20x the other, silly.
The Murcielago is the last Lamborghini when you think about it. Yes, the Aventador is a Lamborghini but the look, feel and era of the Murcielago is the best of Lamborghini.
I own one of probably three golden NB Miatas with the 1.9 litre engine in my part of Germany. Compare that to the 106 McLaren F1 built in total and tell me, which is the rare one.
People don't want to know which car is best for them. People want financial advice so that when things go wrong, they can blame someone else! Here is some financial advice: Cars are not investments! Even if for some reason they increase in value, they are definitely NOT investments! And if you think differently you are wrong and don't even know what an investment is. For a car to become an investment it has to be basically art, 1 of 1 or absurdly rare. And even then, it's still mostly speculation. If you like it and have the money to burn, go for it! If you are trying to build wealth, this is definitely not the way! And no, your 1 of 10.000 Porsche is not an investment just because the market is crazy for a few years now.
I think the F86 X6 M is such bang for your buck, Got one in the garage with 63k miles (FBO) and it has been a true bliss to drive every single day. Ultimate sleeper, AWD, plus a grocery getter, what more can you ask for ? Under-appreciated and on the sidelines imo.
You can just buy a 2003 e-gear for 150k and a conversion kit for 90k, watch DDE the guy Damon is probably the biggest lambo/ #supercar fanatic on the planet.
I don’t know why but this color just makes me happy. I would take an LP 640 in any color. There’s always wrap right? But something about this color is just soothing. It’s beautiful.
Hey Ed. Weird question, you think you could find whatever happened to Bam Margeras 2004 Gallardo? I was doing some research and saw it was for sale a couple of years ago but couldn't find if it sold. The car is beat to hell but it was very iconic famous car and I hope it's not lost forever 😂
I saw pics of it rather recently in one of the Gallardo Facebook groups. I believe it did end up selling and I think the current owner was “restoring” it to some degree
Ed makes another LP-640 Manual video & they go up another $100k I swear. Lmfao
Yes, Ed for the love of God stop making these videos. I love the videos, but I love the car more and it’s becoming more difficult for me to attain. So please stop.
Ed’s monologues in 1 take are unreal

What?! Why did no one else outbid you? That car is a legend! Crazy car! Congrats!
I guess I just got lucky!
Wow! C63 owner here! Congrats on winning a Legend of a car! 😳 The CLK63 Black is my Favorite of all the M156 powered AMG's

Ed, you are one of the best (if not the best) storyteller of all the car TH-camrs. Have you ever considered making a podcast?
That could be fun
Pasquale is Ed's business manager.
.
The Monterey Blue looks absolutely exquisite!
Some would say he's a lucky man, but this dude created businesses and went for it. Now he's reaping the rewards. Respect. I will one day have a collection that others will aspire to as well.
PS the black roadster spec is my personal favorite
The Blue one is sooo gorgeous 😍 love the blue paint and the interior
jp. I love it too.
You and Sir Mix-A-Lot have earned the title of Mr. Lamborghini in my eyes!!
You want to take a look at DDE or Mark McCann they have considerably more models and actually use and abuse them daily.

That blue is electric! 💙
Blue is my favorite color for a sports car 🚙 😊.
I believe the late Randy Tillam owned this car before. glad to see it in your more than capable hands :)
Doug is trying to tank F1 values 😂
I'm a car salesman based in Atlanta. New subscriber. Love your videos!
C7 ZR1 Manual transmission, high aero kit...... Hands down future legend
Hard for me to decide. I would say the Diablo SV, VT 6.0 and Murcie LP640 are pinnacle Lambos in terms of design
Heard you are going to the "dirty" side of driving. Wrecker games in Utah! Can't wait to see you off road.
Having put close to 80k miles on my Z4M Roadster i couldnt agree more. Its great to see these things out on the road being used.
Z4m is a fun car! I had an m coupe for a few years and really miss it! Hope you’re enjoying yours 🙏
I have a 2008 Murci, a 1994 SE 30, a 2012 Aventador and a 2015 Huracan.
Murci is the best sound because of the Gioto Bizarrini engine😂
That Murci is so beautiful in blue! My favorite Murci
Would never think of a Diablo as "garrish". If anything, I'd say the Aventador is garrish. Diablo is a absolutely classic lamborghini design. Even more so than the Murcielago. The Diablo is elegant yet alien.
I drive a 996.2 GT3 Clubsport.
What a wonderful and enjoyable car 👌
Exige S260's and 240's. Low 100's production numbers for the S260. Can't be duplicated. Even an Elise is a great value.
Ed…. Saying the Murci is more rare than an F1 is a STRETCH. There’s 106 F1 examples across ALL trims. How many Murcis are there across all trims? Not just LPs…
Ps…. That Monterey Blue is BEAUTIFUL
I like the earlier CTS-V's, 06-08. As a middle class dude, that is the car I'd love to daily.
Dunno if its "the best car ever", but the 996 Turbo is the best daily i've owned. Even in winter
You’re a very lucky boy.
That blue is lovely
Did you get that shirt from Magnum?
Don’t forget to mention the McLaren F1 LM only 5 made.
This car is beautiful
997 gt2 porsche price are going to go crazy
I just got a 2000 bmw 5 wagon. Manual 1/740. You had a video on them. Gotta post it
thats a beautiful line up. im glad you drive your cars.
McLaren F1 reference in under four minutes.
Hey ED didn’t Randy from savage garage used to own your Monterey blue Lp640 at one point?

Delightful as always Ed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's such a fun surprise when this channel gets an upload.
Are you all doing another series of Car Trek?
I wonder what the manual swap Murci market will do when the people in Texas figure it out.
Since you have the Monterey car, is the verde car going to have the engine out service?
That lady at 2:08 doesn't seem to approve of shrieking Lamborghinis in "her" neighborhood. Sounds great to me!
I will overlook the CEL
Beautiful cars Ed! Thank you for sharing! 💚🖤💙😊
So if one of the manual SV’s came up for grabs would you trade all 3 of yours for the SV Ed? 😉
A 2005 SL55 AMG in Jasper Blue!!!!
I have to get one a green one have to

Hey lookkk its the stripper blue tooo 😂😂 Congrats Ed!
Blue car drako car are same why have two
I have a Murci LP640 too. But it’s stuck inside GT7
And my Accord is a 6 speed 😊😊😊
Keep Shifting
This is what I think of the 6 speed E60 M5, only manual V10 sedan that was or ever will be made

What happened the the sv ?
I enjoy Ed, and love his cars. But the way he says Murci-Ela-go… 😂
Wasn't Monterey blue the color Kimmies gallardo was? Love that color
That was Blu Caelum Metallic
Nice shirt by the way! ✨😉👍🩵🩷
Has the LP650 been forgotten ?
They only built a few. Very cool cars. Most of the US cars are pretty rough.
Wow i like it.... can you give me one of these cars? It takes a great man to part his precious possession...
Can’t be the only one on blue given DDE has just driven one with white interior.
That is an Ely Blue car. Different shade of blue.
I think the F86 X6 M is such bang for your buck, Got one in the garage with 63k miles (FBO) and it has been a true bliss to drive every single day. Ultimate sleeper, AWD, plus a grocery getter, what more can you ask for ? Under-appreciated and on the sidelines imo.

He isn’t. Damon fucking sucks.
What f#ck who says they don't need 3 Lamborghini Murcielago's.....
The blue is super nice but the black wheels dont suit it at all
Ed Pee 640
there’s no way 5th gen vipers (manual) go for just $100,000 but that’s just me
The best car for me is the one I can afford, if you are buying on credit it's just an asset
bro those stickers or whatever they are above that headlights are just ruin everything wtf are doing
🐐
The way he says Murciélago, is a bit annoying 😑
He said in a previous video that Lamborghini told him that is how to pronounce it properly
Rich white folks are living life
The wrinkle shirt bothers me me so much
Its a colour combination, Ed... get over yourself...
Do a shot every time he says Mercy Let It Go
A Monterey blue LP640 with a gated manual is my absolute dream car. Would love to see this car one day.
Ed living every man’s dream 😂
What do you think is the greatest car ever made?
Lamborghini Murcielago. The LP 650 Roadster is my top choice. Those are unicorns. I've only seen one at Manhattan Motorcars when it was brand new.
1973 super duty trans am
Volvo 240
There isn't an easy answer.🤔
Original RUF Yellow Bird
o:
I respect Ed for admitting it was a mistake to buy it in that busted auction.
Find something you love, AND DRIVE IT!
I don’t know why but this color just makes me happy. I would take an LP 640 in any color. There’s always wrap right? But something about this color is just soothing. It’s beautiful.
If i ever win the lottery I'm not telling anyone. But there will be signs. Very pretty bluuue signs
I know I know.. he’s pronouncing it “correctly” but it sounds funny saying Murcigigglego
It’s such a good looking car. I LOVE the color, my favorite color!
Does he pronounce it like that to annoy people?
Hey Ed. Weird question, you think you could find whatever happened to Bam Margeras 2004 Gallardo? I was doing some research and saw it was for sale a couple of years ago but couldn't find if it sold. The car is beat to hell but it was very iconic famous car and I hope it's not lost forever 😂

Best car in the world? Maybe. Best sounding car in the world? Absolutely.
My favourite car is a gated lp640 because of its sound, power, speed and the rawness. It is the perfect car.
Find a car you love and drive it is great advice - so I did just that, e.g., my AZ-1 MazdaSpeed! A fraction the price and all the fun.
Sadly, i Got a funny feeling that this one will be up for sale soon…
Alternate title: Ed blasphemes McLaren F1 for several minutes straight. 😂
The E60 m5 Manual. super cheap for V10 manual
I think in 10 years you’re going to be telling everyone how cheap you sold the Spyker.
What does he mean by owning 10% of the car?
Lol so typically American… owns 3 but can’t pronounce Murcielago or Coupe! Haha
I agree ❤ Lamborghini best brand ❤
