When I was a kid the two hottest things in the world were the Lamborghini Countach and Kelly LeBrock in weird science. The difference between the two is that the Lamborghini is still as sexy as ever.

Should I, one day, find myself with the means, I WILL make one unreasonable purchase: http://imgur.com/PiZEf

I hope you get it pal. It's a rare enough ride that if I ever see one like that it will likely be yours.

I recently moved to Chapel Hill NC and went out with some locals the other night named Will and Chris. They told me that a while back they were walking downtown and saw a Lamborghini parked out front of a bar. They were right beside it talking loudly about how gaudy a yellow Lamborghini was (they didn't know the owner was sitting in it). The owner got out and shot them both a look like they were dicks... it was Michael Jordan.

How the hell did Michael Jordan fit into a Countach is what I want to know. They are not so accommodating when it comes to height :)

I got to sit in a Delorian once. A buddy of mine was holding an art opening at a home where one of the owners had purchased one. I think 'rad' adequately conveys the sensation of tucking into one of those :P

That's a valid question, I guess if you're Michael Jordan you can afford to customize your Countach and get a little bit more leg room.

This purchase is completely justified. But it must be a Countach.

6 out of 5 stars.

>The word countach (pronounced [kunˈtɑʃ] ( listen)) is an exclamation of astonishment in the local Piedmontese language — generally used by men on seeing an extremely beautiful woman.[4]

Huh. That's what I'm going to say when I see Marianne next. I'll just look her in the eye and whisper "countach"...
