Who doesn’t like a good Lamborghini Gallardo every once in a while? Well, I do – and so does poker genius and Duke University graduate Vanessa “Lady Maverick” Rousso – one of the most succesful women in poker of all time, and PokerStars professional.

Vanessa had a great 2009 both in poker and in her personal life with Chad Brown – and in this Gallardo – I’m sure she’ll have an even more amazing 2010!

I have to confess: in the way back days of the PS, I become something of a sports car enthusiast.  The original PlayStation 2, with its overabundance of racing games, opened my eyes to a world I never even knew existed.

I can’t even remember the name of the game that did it.  All I remember is that it featured a number of different cars you could choose from, the Aston Martin and the Porsche 911 among them.  You could choose race courses in a bunch of different countries or play single and get chased by the police.  All of this sounds completely irrelevant, but there is a point: when I first saw this picture of the 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo, it reminded me of that game, right down to the landscape.  But the road isn’t what really caught my eye, oh no.

The Gallardo itself did that, with its sleek lines and low slung body.  Even at a stand still, it looks like it’s speeding along at 100mph, low to the road and purring like a kitten.  I ask you, what more could anyone want out of life?
