This is part of our 100 Things in 2015 challenge. Here’s the full list.

For my birthday this year, my lovely wife got me a Lamborghini Gallardo. Well, technically it was just driving three laps around a track in one, but for those three laps, it was mine. We also surprised Will with a slightly belated birthday present of his own: a lap around the track with an expert driver!

How was it? Easy. Seriously, the car is designed to behave like a videogame car; it just does what you tell it, and it doesn’t even feel like it was hard to take that corner at 80.

Will and I both emerged from this experience with big grins on our faces, and it’s an experience that will never be forgotten.
