I saw my first when i was 12 or 13 and just getting into cars. I don't remember what model it was.. i THINK it was a countach...might have been a Diablo. we were traveling on I-5 near Fort Lewis and it went scooting by 2 lanes over doing about 85-90. I watched it as long as i could before it disappeared from view.

I haven't been the same since

I was about 12, not entirely sure how old I was. It was at my uncles house, his neighbor has a Countach but always spends winter in Arizona. So my uncle keeps it safe in his garage for him.

First Lambo that I saw with my own eyes was when I was 15, my dad and I were looking for a parking spot at a local Starbucks and there it was in between two sedans, a red Lamborghini Diablo.

I don't remember how old I was but I know I was pretty young and we went to the dealership when they first opened.

A purple Countach (with the massive wing) blasting out of my school gates when i was about 10 8)

[EDIT] I hope this doesn't turn out to be a pics or STFU topic

lol.. seeing as how digital cameras weren't out yet when most of us saw our first lambos...i think we can let it slide

I saw two replica Lambos before I saw a real one. The two fakes were a red Countach with a Chevy small block, the other was a white replica diablo (I think this one was fake because the condition of the body was horrible, it had a cracked front splitter and a NASCAR sticker on it).

The real one though, was in a showroom. It was an early read Diablo, no rear wing. I don't think I'd ever seen rear tires that big in my life.

I might have seen a countach when I was like 8 in Sweden...but that doesn't count since I can't really remember....

The first and only Lambo I've seen is a yellow Diablo blasting down a street in Rome, absolutely amazing, it was at night while walking around, I heard the thing from a distance and started to look around, and then BANG it rushed past the street...oh man what a sound...it was just a few seconds but man what a car!...it didn't even look real...so alien to the street...wow...sadly I couldn't take a pic of it...this was two years ago...
