    A red 25th anniv. is the single most common Countach to roll the world. I'm sure that beefy QV lump will find a new home.

    Late '80s Mario Andretti. The quotes around "race car driver" couldn't possibly be more appropriate.

    Such a fantastic model. I love the way the Countach looks in red.


    I had a couple of these once.


    The special edition ones you got from the back of the Red Baron pizza boxes...the matchbox edition kind.


    what a great car.

    "got into a street race with a Viper GTS while delivering an ultra-rare Lambroghini Countach once owned by Mario Andretti. "


    Oh yeah, the Lambroghini. That's just like a laborghini, except it's got a popped spoiler.

    Matt, are you smoking the crackpipe from this morning??? The goddamn wheel's off! The brake rotor is shattered! If an oil change is gonna run you a couple grand on a Lambo, how much do you expect the damage from these shenanigans here will cost to fix?

    @BigBlockForgedPistons: The difference was context.


    If memory serves, you used it in an actual, heart-felt insult that for some reason or another was considered by some to be inappropriate given the context.


    In this instance, I just made something up off the top of my head, and I didn't actually aim the insult at anyone. Although, you are correct from the standpoint that thinking back to that instance might have been a smart thing for me to do before I made that comment.


    I do apologize if it is offensive to anyone.

    I was cruisin' in a Lambo late one day

    When an Viper pulled up on the right

    And rolled down the window of his shiny new Mopar

    And challenged me then and there to a drag

    I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine

    Let's come off the line, now, at 45 and Rich

    But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve

    Let's race all the way

    To Dead Man's Curve"


    Chorus:


    Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play

    Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away

    Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:

    "Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

    Phew, thought for a second that "rare" might have referred to an early LP400 Periscopa, before all the coke spoon accessories... This, not so much of a loss.
