    I hear you. Posters of white Countachs with gigantic rear wings adorned my college dorm.

    If you can buy a new 911 you could probably afford buying a Countach. Maintaining it though is a different story. As is using it in real life traffic.

    Some dreams are better left just that. Dreams.

    Ditto, and just replacing the air filters is a PTA.

    And the clutch, forget about it. Since there's no cradle, the engine/trans assembly has to be pulled from the top.

    Driving comfort is non-existent!

    Just my $0.02, YMMV!

    Black Tesla on the side of the road on 290 heading east into Chicago in the construction zone. Sad to say, it appears that he might have had a single car collision (hit an orange barrel?) because he was on the side of the road and his side was smashed in. Ouch. Cool spot, but bad circumstance...would have rather seen it in motion.

    Holy Cow! I went on vacation and there hasn't been any updates since!! Well, I was unfortunately dragged to the Wisconsin Dells by two kids that want to be fish when they grow up apparently! Not my idea of a "vacation", and these two were some of the most "exotic". I did see a Dino turning the corner, but never got close enough for a pic.
