Power comes courtesy of the Gallardo’s 5.2 litre V10 but with 600 hp, tuned for 30 hp more than in the donor model’s most extreme form. In profile it’s made to look like a bull preparing to charge with its horns lowered, conferring a futuristic dynamism with aggressive lines. De Silva explained the design further: “It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista (selfish).”

It features a single seat cockpit to push the limits on driving pleasure, performance and most of important of all, style. A survival cell of sorts, the carbonfibre and aluminium interior could well be mistaken for a jet fighter’s, and a really cool one at that. The glasshouse tips forward like it would in an F-35, and forms an aerodynamic element when closed.

If Lamborghinis are cars for the few, this one goes that one step further. It is a car for one, and no more. There are no plans yet to push the Egoista into production, but knowing Lamborghini, they’ll make one for you if you ask kindly enough, just as they did with the Sesto Elemento concept in 2011.

Dear Car Psychic:

This morning when I started my truck I heard a load noise like my muffler was missing. I got out the truck to find a pipe hanging down I had to tow it to the shop. They said my Catalytic converter was stolen! Now I have to cough up 1000.00 Bucks!  What gives? People will steal anything today.

Dear Down and Out victim of scum:

The Thieves have discovered the metals contained in catalytic converters are valuable on the black market. They are easy to remove from a high profile vehicle such as your truck. All they need is a cordless sawzal and 60 seconds to take it. My best advice is to park your truck in a more secure location and/or invest in a catalytic converter anti theft device. This will force those scums to prey on some else for their daily fix.

Dear Car Psychic:

This is not a car question but I just bought a sailboat. It has a small diesel engine and seems to run fine. It has about a 1/4 of a tank of fuel. Should I fill the tank now? Someone mentioned there could be algae in my tank. What should I do?

Car Psychic:

Dear Captain, congratulations on your boat purchase. Now that you have caught up with the Jones’ here is a bit of advice. Temperature, humidity and condensation are very important factors in managing fuel integrity. If there is presence of water in your tank it could provide a medium for microbiological growth that results in the formation of slime and acids causing corrosion of metal surfaces such as fuel tanks, pumps and injectors. That stuff can really jack up your boat. It’s like someone pissing in your cornflakes in the morning. It just ruins your whole day. Therefore, good housekeeping and purchasing clean dry fuel from a reputable supplier are definitely the first steps to take. I think it would be a good idea to purchase a diesel fuel additive and the top off your tank and then change your fuel filter. If you take these measures you will have done everything possible short of pumping out the tank.

P.S. It would also be a good idea to carry an extra fuel filter in your boat in case any residual junk in your tank rears its ugly head. This should make your first day of fun in the sun a great experience. Happy boating!

Dear Car Psychic:

I took my Acura to the dealer for a routine service and they mentioned I might want to change my cabin filter. How did they know I have a cabin and what the heck is this filter?

Dear Confused:

They were talking about your heating and air conditioning filter in your car. It’s called the cabin filter and it should be changed regularly. It serves a good purpose to filter out dust pollen and mold. Now, if you don’t mind coughing and sneezing and living an unhealthy life you can just ignore it and save the few bucks. This will give you extra cash to buy some beer and smokes to jack yourself up a bit more. Hope this helped you and happy breathing!

Dear Car Psychic:

Do car headlights wear out even though there not burned out? A friend of mine was replacing his headlight bulbs and they weren’t even burned out. I asked him why and he said he’s doing it because a new set of bulbs would be brighter.

Dear Dimlit:

Its true a new bulb will always shine brighter. Headlight bulbs age and can deteriorates internally. Some say as much as 30% over its life. So let there be light in your life and replace the bulb if it looks dim. P.S. I say your other headlight will go out next week anyway so go buy a pair of bulbs and replace both while you are at it. Enjoy you brighter life!

Dear Car Psychic:

I have a 95 Ford Explorer and the overdrive off light on my dash keeps flashing, It’s a old car and I don’t really want to spend any money on it.

Dear Cheapskate:

Although it’s a bit of a pain on the older pre 96 fords, a technician could access the computer and diagnose the problem. From there the eager money hungry technician could be determined what the trouble code is. The code found would determine what the next step would be and how much money it would cost. Or you could just be a cheap bastard and cut the little wire to the light bulb! Black electrical tape placed over the offending light also works well.
