    Maybe 10 years from now we'll all be driving Imhoffs.


    Too bad Jalopnik ain't rich; we could hire him to build the official, handbuilt, completely custom Jalopnik Halo Car Hot Rod.

    @yellofury * * * * *: Yes, i swiped footage from two of the videos and sliced them up for the above video. Figured you guys wouldn't be so interested in the less exciting "idle out of the driveway" and "starting attempts" bits.

    Maybe he can "fabricate" some Gucci or Coach purses, and sell them.


    He can probably make a fortune.

    "At long last, Ken Imhoff's basement-built Lamborghini Countach made it's first run around the block. There's still plenty of test and tune left, but darn it sounds good. Unfortunately, and unbelievable, Ken's lost his job."


    Given Mr. Imhoff's meticulous attention to detail, Jalopnik could hire him as a grammar checker.

    Man, awesome car, awesome build. I sure hope he quickly finds a Job. Wisconsin isn't in that rough of shape, if he throws this up on the resume he will be all good.


    And since he lost his job, lets not destroy his pocket book by exceeding his bandwidth on the home page.


    /just realizes that after clicking his home page.


    or we could buy our ladies something from his wife's business.

    He should start his own etsy shop selling handmade cars. I'd certainly consider it arts/crafts.

    You know if I went to the trouble this guy went through I wouldn't put a Lamborghini tag on it. I would call it a Lamboimfoff or Kenborghini something like that. Anybody that fired this talanted man is a fool.
