This supercar owner has been daily driving his Lamborghini Murciélago for a long time, and he’s put a lot of miles under its tires.
The car isn’t cheap to run, but the owner figured out a way to save cash on repairs, which is just as well because a service on a Lambo can cost the same as a new car.
He recently received a quote for $33,000, but managed to shave the cost down to just $2,500.
One of the DIY solutions he came up with was genius.

Simon George, the Lambo owner who runs DriversKeepers YouTube channel, has been driving a Lamborghini Murciélago as his daily for 20 years.
He’s already put 300,000+ miles under the car’s belt.
Like all supercars, the Murciélago is expensive to run, but Simon is one of those people whose middle name is DIY, which means he’s managed to save tens of thousands of dollars through the years.
On this occasion, he saved himself just over $30,000.
As he explained in the video, the car needed new suspension, and the quote he received was for $33,000.
You can buy a decent new car or even a great used car for that money, which is why Simon was determined to bring that number down.
He did it by personally sourcing suspension bushes and arms, and he also saved an extra $150 by using side repeater lights from a Ford Focus.
This was a true stroke of genius.
Lamborghini repeaters are virtually identical to the Ford Focus one.
Not only do they fit the same, but they also cost 10 times less.
We’re certainly rooting for him, mainly because it’s nice to see a supercar owner who actually drives his car instead of keeping it stored in a garage.
With few exceptions, including for example the 2003 Ferrari Enzo with 100,000+ miles on the clock, most supercar owners don’t drive their cars much.
A few years ago, somebody sold a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta that had only covered 161 miles in five years.
As for this Lambo owner, he’d easily cover 161 miles in a day.
Good for him.
