Spiritual experience
I had what could almost be described as a holy experience the other night. I was making yet another repair to my 2000 Ranger (t-stat) and took it for a spin to see if would overheat and blow itself up. I was sitting behind a beat up van and heard a high pitched, fine tuned exhaust ahead. Obviously it wasn't the van. Next light I heard it again. The van turned off to reveal something I've heard of mostly in song & legend... a Lambo Countach. Keep in mind where I live, a nice vette is considered 'Exotic', let alone something like this. The guy was driving it like a grandma (though with 12 cyl & about 500hp, you don't need to keep your foot on the gas to make it go. You keep your foot on the brake to make it stop). I got in the other lane anad passed him, going 5mph below the speed limit. (one of my few claims to fame... passing a Lambo without much effort, plus gave my ailing truck a shot of confidence.)
Indiana has a custom plate that says 'Kids First', with cute little hand prints and the proceeds going to schools, etc. The Lambo had one on the back... nice touch, though its about like putting a tree hugger sticker on the back of a hummer.
BTW, the truck doesn't overheat anymore.

I was expecting something totally different when I opened this thread, but isn't it nice and rewarding to find a true exotic car on occasion? This is why I marvel at the invention of the camera phone. I've got tons of pictures I've taken while on the road when I spot cars worthy of risking my life to take a picture of it.

some guy where i live has one.. ill see him out in in every once and a while, but he doesnt drive it at all, like you said just goes slow and grandmas it
edit:... nvm, looking at pics online it resembles it but doesnt look exactly the same, so i dunno if its just a diffrent body style or completely different model, not a gillardo though
