Want a free Lamborghini Gallardo from the Internet? Can’t hurt to ask

From political campaigns to "Veronica Mars" to the endless supply of star-crossed Nigerian princes, the Internet has made begging strangers for money a cornerstone of 21st-century economics. One man has decided to push the boundaries of online generosity by politely asking the world wide web if it would be so kind as to buy him a Lamborghini Gallardo. Why? Because it's a Lamborghini, of course.

At Help Me Get A Lambo, the would-be Italian sports car driver sets out his goal of raising enough money to buy a Lamborghini and pay for a year's worth of maintenance, fuel and insurance, with any proceeds after that going to charities if he can raise the funds by July 31. There's nothing cloying or indirect about his approach: "I want you to give me money so I can buy a Lamborghini Gallardo."

I'm just a guy in his 20s who lives in New York, where I work for a non-profit. I went to a top university and this job is just a temp job to pay the bills while I try to find what I love. I've always wanted a Lamborghini and the Gallardo is my dream car. Now, clearly, I can't afford this on my own, so I made this site to see if total strangers would help me make my dream come true.
