Loud and low
Along with the sometimes tooth-chattering ride, prospective supercar purchasers should also be aware of the ground-hugging ride height. The aerodynamics that allow the Aventador to pass the 200mph barrier with lungs to spare mean it has to stick nice and close to terra firma.

At the car's 217mph top speed you'll be glad of its limited ground clearance but on an urban street strewn with speed humps it could become a problem. Fortunately, Lamborghini has installed a handy button which raises the nose of the Aventador a few centimetres to prevent the front spoiler running aground with wallet-shattering consequences. All you have to do is remember to press it.

@humanjudgement:

It's not a stupid question at all; I'd say that it is actually a very valid one. The article does a good job of outlining the day-to-day difficulties one might experience living with a dramatic, expensive, high-maintenance, attention-grabbing supercar.

Now... if only there was a article on living with similarly-inclined supermodels...

Even the rich have to drive over road humps, under speed limits, and around large wheeled vehicles with even larger blind spots. Don't say you weren't warned...
