Siriusly: Lamborghini offering lifetime satellite radio subscriptions
Buy a Lamborghini and be prepared to shell out big bucks... not just for the initial purchase (or the more likely financing arrangement), but for operational costs throughout the lifetime of the vehicle. Even before the warranty runs out, you're looking at big figures for gas, new tires, the inevitable scraped chin spoiler... At least Murcielago buyers have one less upkeep fee to worry about now, as Lamborghini has hammered out a deal with Sirius to provide lifetime subscriptions to its satellite radio service.
A couple of obvious questions arise. For one, who would want to listen to the radio when there's a sonorous V12 revving behind your head? Aside from that, however, is the uncertainty over the future of Sirius service with its impending merger with rival service provider XM. We'd like to think that few LP640's will be sitting still long enough to worry about that, though.

Oh! Man I was so on the wall about whether to get a Lamorghini... but now with this GREAT offer, I will definitely do it! Man, this is such the incentive of the century.
Now I just have to decide - E-gear, or third pedal? So many decisions! Oh, being rich obviously is more difficult then they make it out to be!

Do you think it will really last a lifetime?

Lambo is the first to follow MINI in offering this subscription. Nicely done. Just need a high production company to follow. Chrysler?

i looked into the lifetime deal once and the catch was that it was receiver specific as i remember. if the receiver died so did the lifetime sub. You couldn't transfer it to a newer better receiver.

At the rate Sirius is going, lifetime may equal about 3 years.
