Photo puzzle: Find the UW logo in the Lamborghini
Posted by Brier Dudley
Here are a few pictures from a visit today with Paolo Feraboli, an assistant professor of aircraft materials and structures and director of the Lamborghini composites lab at the school.

Feraboli found a great parking place for this Gallardo factory demo car:
