A long..... Time ago. I can't remember exactly when I was one at a
car show, but I remember the seventy thousand price tag and thinking,
outrageous! Must have been just after I bought a Loaded '78 Bronco for
thirteen.

I saw a Lamborghini riding lawnmower at a car show in VA Beach a few
years back. Apparently they got their start with tractors...seems like
ORVs would be a natural for them, more so than sports cars.

Actually they started by buying up military surplus vehicles and
making tractors out of them. And then came the Cheetah, followed
by the LM001. And the latest abortion courtesy of Audi Doody.
