# A Bear in a Lamborghini Is Timeless Entertainment

There are some sights you can never forget. A bear riding shotgun in a bright yellow Lamborghini is one of those things.

In November 2013, images and video of [a bear calmly riding in the passenger seat of a Lamborghini Gallardo](<https://jalopnik.com/bear-in-a-lamborghini-shuts-down-la-traffic-1466937502>) shot onto the Internet. Three years and change later, though, [the image is still drawing eyeballs](<https://imgur.com/uelZKCi>)—so we here at *The Drive* figured we should pull something of a "throwback Thursday" and shed some light on the ever-viral content.

## Yup, it's a real bear in a real Lamborghini

The bear, whose name is apparently [Yogi](<https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/1qvgh5/there_was_a_guy_blocking_the_street_outside_of_my/>), sat in the Gallardo while being driven around Huntington Beach, California. As it took its ride, people kept running up to the yellow Italian sports car to try and get a picture with the lax bear.

It truly was a sight to be seen. *Probably* because most people probably don't think of bears as animals that are calm enough to throw inside a car, especially not a cramped Lamborghini.

But hey, it made for a damn cool video.
