Lamborghini
THIS CAR GOES FOR 1.3 MILLION, Celebs are going crazy for it.
Lambo is gunning for the top spot in the Italian supercar hierarchy. Lamborghini calls its latest coupe the Murcielago LP640. It's an even higher-performance version of the standard Murcielago. The Lamborghini's name is derived from the engine's configuration -- longitudianle posteriore (LP), or longitudinally mounted in back -- and the V12 develops 640 horsepower at 8,000 rpm.

    Google is #1 site for advertising! So why doesn't Google advertise themselves, Thats their success story...



    Started out in 2001,
    Currently no# 1 advertising site,
    Current profit value in 6 yrs, 30 billion.

    So how did Google made this happen and still control their composure even though they are the number one advertising site? Believe it or not, They dont advertise a whole lot, so while other companies are trying to expand and spend alot of money advertising mainly through GOOGLE, Google is relaxing, Investing their turnover earnin gs into memory space/technology and giving their shareholders much totalk about and enjoying their earnings.
    Google has also inspired MySpace and YOUTube, whom advertise a whole alot, even through GOOGLE.
