      You mean the guy that has dealt almost exclusively an exotic cars for a couple decades started a UA-cam channel about car stories and many of those car stories are about exotic cars because those are likely the people in the car community that he knows? Well color me shocked

      I flip cars 2 all day everyday and I thought about starting a UA-cam channel but what success is it going to have really when all I'm doing is regular domestic cars nobody wants to sit and listen to me tell the story about how I found my dream Nissan Maxima 2001 6-speed one owner 25th anniversary edition and I only paid $1,000 for it does anybody want to hear that story if so I'll tell it 😂🤣😂

    9:50 - This is about the ONLY thing I could relate to this guy about. In the early days, I had an open trailer for hauling the Corvette to autocrosses and hillclimbs and my friend's TR-3 race car to road races. Then when I got my Corvette race car, it was still out in the open. EVERYONE would look, especially little kids. It was so much fun looking at the smiles and the waves from little kids as they would pass on the road. It was a chance to share what we had with them, and it was just great. It was kind of sad once I got the enclosed trailer, which was much more practical, along with shelter a the track, but the joy of little kids with their faces against their windows looking was gone.
    As to the Countach, I'd like to drive one. Of course, there are many I'd like to drive, just for the experience. Of course, no one will just loan your their car. And it is very hard to find many exotics to rent, but when you do, it costs a fortune. I don't really want to rent one for a day or week. I'd like to just go for a drive, 30 minutes or whatever, just to experience some on these.

    I am 50 years old now and as a kid I collected everything about the Countach. The design stood out from a car yearbook I had. The day I saw one in real life is still printed in my memory. A red countach with Belgian resgistration…. Now 36 years later the beauty of this car still brings tears in my eyes…knowing I will never own one. I should have stayed single…..

    So many great word combos being thrown out….The phrase I’m lifting from this guy is “a car that stands for a decade, everything what is useless”. Which really is a perfect summary of it and so, so, so German.

    I think he is right about the colour. Has Miami Vice overtones, even though they had different 'movie prop' cars. Nothing has to be practical about this vehicle, and the wing on the back completes the look, even though we all know it is useless. That said, only in Germany can it be driven at speed.

    The broken engine part didn’t surprise me lol. That’s one reason I’ve never been into these supercars and what not. They’re just so unreliable. But maybe I’m just too broke to understand.
    But the Countach is one Lamborghini I actually do like quite a bit. The rest kind of bore me. Just a lineup of doorstoppers.
    But it’s probably because NFS made me fall in love with German cars, so I’ve always drooled over Porsches. BMWs, Audis, and Benzes are cool too. I currently own a little VW MK7 GTI. It’s a great entry level car, but I hope to keep working my way up until I own a Porsche someday. But with the way inflation keeps going up and wages don’t, I’ll be lucky to afford a used 911 by the time I’m elderly.
