Riding over a Lamborghini (source Josh Navarro on Instagram)Video: BMXer rides over Lamborghini - but owner unfazed
The owner of a Lamborghini that a BMX rider rode over while it was parked outside a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, says he isn’t too bothered by the stunt – though he hopes the cyclist won’t repeat it.
Footage of Josh Navarro performing the trick last Saturday went viral after he posted it to his Instagram account, and it was picked up by news outlets worldwide.
It happened outside the Jake’s Famous Crawfish restaurant where the car’s owner, Kelly Howard, is a regular.
The sight of Navarro riding across the roof and bonnet of the $350,000 supercar elicited a rather comedic response from one of the restaurant’s waiters, Origene Petersen.
"He just takes off, hops over and rides all the way down, and anyone's natural reaction is like, ‘what the heck just happened,'" he told Fox 12.
But the car’s owner, who revealed there was no damage other than a tyre mark on the windscreen, was unfazed.
"I could care less. My Lamborghinis are my day cars. I like them,” he said.
But he added: "I'll drive my cars and he can go make his videos, but hopefully next time he'll drive around it and not on top of it.”

They are ugly cars though aren't they. I liked his cool response, but it is also obscene that he lists lamborghinis as his day cars. As the poster above says, cars in cycle lanes deserve this response.
So the owner's response is a bit smug. He owns more than one Lamborghini! I'd probably have trouble not being a bit smug about that (although I'd never buy one even with all that money).
He hasn't had the stunt rider arrested and there wasn't any damage. That's a pretty cool response in my eyes. I'm pretty sure most of the people who own one would have gone ballistic.
As to the idea of doing that to cars parked in bike lanes.. I've been damned tempted when out on my mountain bike a few times.
Cheers Joe, its not so much a forum member but a 'contact us' sort of thing on here - I seem to be missing something.
road.cc is run by Farrelly Atkinson and the contact page is here: http://f-at.co.uk/contact.html
This is not climber but his mate, how do we get in touch with anyone on roadcc?
Click on their user-name, then click on 'Contact'.
I've often thought this would be an elegant solution to the problem of cars parked in cycle lanes. Only, I don't have the appropriate mad skillz 'n' shizzle.
Genius
Don't worry, I'm just waiting for the opportunity.
I'd tw@t the fecker. Mainly because his name is Josh and he is riding a childs bike.
Grow up you dick.
My son is called Josh.
I hope he grows up to be a nice boy who doesnt do stupid and selfish things like this (which im sure he will)
Says the bloke listing a 16" Raleigh Strika kids bike amongst his rides.
Why do you need to hate on him because he rides BMX. he probably has the same passion for that bike as you do for yours.
I just hope I can be so cool when my Lambo gets abused.
Anyone who uses the phrase "could care less" in this context deserves to have their Lamborghini ridden over.

Though yeah, every time my ex said "I could care less," I winced. Well, inwardly.
Agreed, except using a horse.
With the shits.
A horse that shits everywhere, is most commonly known as "a horse".
I'll see your horse and raise you a tank
