Default Missed Opportunity

I dropped my car off at MTi on Saturday. So Sunday I am driving my F 150 4x4 downt he highway and I see some sort of exotic way back in my rearview mirror. As it gets closer I see it's a Lamborguini Countch. I slow down so it will go by me and I can get a better look at it. Ther is no one else around me, so I assume he will go right by. No, he gets right on my AZZ and stays there for at least 30 secs. I am thinking, "why can't I have the Z right now!" Ugh! Anyway, he finally goes by and I see it's the 5000 S, which I believe is the fastest of that generation. The guy driving looks about 23 maybe. Anyway, I get to see a car like this maybe once a year and I am driving my pickup....Very frustrating...

Countach's are cool, they were so far ahead of their time. Hard to keep tuned though. Always wanted one!

Hi Mill-Vett -

I feel your pain - It seems that when I am in the Z there is nothing else on the road - I never see Z28's, SS's, GT's, WS6's etc etc.

But let me drive the Lumina and it seems every kid in the town winds up next to me at the red lights.

I also drive a Chev 4x4, but in that I am hoping for young females to pull alongside - lap-belt insptector don't you know...

Best Regards -

mqqn

CP,
Arey you serious? I can't remember the specs from the 80's Countach, but I am pretty sure they had less than 500 Hp. Also, win or lose I would never be embarrassed. I am always just looking for fun. :cheers:
