On most days, we spend our time working our tails off at work or – if it’s a weekend – enjoying some well-earned down time at the mall or doing some outdoor escapades. The folks at Motor Trend are just like all of us, except that on certain days, they can spend their afternoons doing something all of us wish we could do and get paid for it: testing out supercars like the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition.

Talk about a way to spend an afternoon, huh?

In this video, we have them behind the wheel of the LP550-2 Balboni Edition and pushing the car for all its worth – and its worth a lot more than you think – in and around the mountains of California.

Check out the video and we won’t blame you for feeling a little green with envy after seeing it.

Trust us, we feel the exact same way.
