You have to admire the Cboys for being the clown princes of the automotive video channel domain. Rather than document drag racing highlights or show off the intricacies of exotic wheels, these guys prefer to go the Punk'd route like a gaggle of frat boys out of control. Stunts like ramming an RV with a limo or staging a Smart Car flipping over in a mud pit are some of their more legendary exploits. And as for their latest video misadventure, released via YouTube on Friday, they're about to invest in a Lamborghini. And just for laughs, this Lambo ain't the real deal.
Bogus Lambo In Seattle
The boys fly to Seattle to meet Josh, the owner of the said supercar. Cboys member Ben's full of questions for Josh, wondering why he'd even own a forged four-wheeler. "It just makes sense for like, the normal person to want a Lamborghini, but for it to be fake, like, that's just such a bad flex."
Josh isn't arguing the point, but to him, the whole idea of owning a bogus Lambo is a joke. "It's so funny like I stopped and got gas and this lady's like 'Oh my gosh, what kind of car is that?'" he said. "Yeah, people think it's real... I can't tell you how many people were taking pictures."
Well if it's all for kicks, it looks like Josh and the Cboys have found some common ground.
This Supercar Has A GM V6 Engine
When the Cboys finally see the car, they're gobsmacked by its lime-green exterior. "Bro, it's faker than I thought," said one Cboy. They're also amazed by the wheels, which resemble something from the Brembo line, but are told are also fake. They dig the gullwing doors, which are about as authentic as you can get with a Lambo. As for the engine, it's a GM 3800 V6, which gets the lads guffawing.
"So like it's not slow," responds Josh defensively.
Enough small talk. The lads want to try this fake Lambo out for real. And the first thing they notice is that one tire is rubbing against the body. "Oh my god," said CJ behind the wheel when more irritating noises surface. "That wheel is still rubbing because the air lift's broken, dude!"
He also has problems negotiating turns. "This just doesn't feel like right," said CJ tapping the steering wheel's hub cover which inexplicably pops off into his lap.
This Lambo Ain't Worth $26,000
To Josh's credit, the Cboys fully realized the Lambo was fake from the start. The problem is whether the lime-green replica is worth $26,000. After a bit of back-and-forth, they settle on $22,500.
Now the question is what they'll do with the Lambo once it arrives. If the Cboys remain consistent with their hijinks, you can bet it'll be worth an episode.
