Since I was majoring in music at that time, I had worked up a pretty good repertoire of pieces. During one wedding, I was having a really great day at the keys--I was hot, hot, hot!

The US military considered the Lamborghini LM along with the Hummer back in the 1980's. The Lambo broke too easily so it was disqualified. The last I heard, the original test LM is still rusting away somewhere in the desert. I can't recall which military base it was though.
