It's like wanting to get into/stay in a bad relationship when all of your friends are telling you it's a bad idea.
I'm still so taken with every superficial aspect of these cars that I don't want to accept that they're a nightmare. I mean-listen to that engine!!! Look at how deadsexy that shape is!!!
Dammit!!! Stop c---blocking my fantasy!!!
sweet video. I too have lusted after these cars since I was 8 or 9 years old. If I hit the powerball I'll start looking

That clip was responsible for a lot of fantasies my generation.
That car has been through a high-dollar resto:

I've been to the zoo, and elephants stink!
I don't care. If money was a non issue I'd still own one, even if cost of ownership worked out to a $20-30/mile average
never cared for Lamboghinis.. was always more of a ferrari kind of guy

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I wasn't it the first Cannonball Run movie that had the two babes in the Lambo with water based paint on it? Quick rinse with a garden hose and white Lambo became Red Lambo. Classic scene. I think I need to find that movie and refresh my memory.
