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.

>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"...
