Kinda reminds me of something... A friend of mine worked at a sports car repair shop. They certainly had their likes and dislikes. One of the biggest dislikes they had was the Lamborghini Countach. I was stunned. How could you not like that car?! For any child of the 80s, there was no better car out there!Originally Posted by VXIRONwoMAN
But they hated it.
Then, there was the episode of TopGear, where Jeremy Clarkson (I think) talked all about how the Lambo looked great when it was a poster on your bedroom wall, but when you actually got to drive it, everything went to hell.
Sure, you got looks while driving it... But you couldn't see out the back, it was impossible to park, and he talked about how you smelled of petrol after driving it.
It occurs to me that I've got a similar thing in the VX, for better or for worse. It performs pretty well, but I can't see out the back, and it gets terrible mileage. It has rough edges, like the stereo and windows, but I still like driving it around, if only for the looks. Besides, it really shines when I need to get up into the mountains.
I think you're right, though. Once I get my Subie back, I think I'm going to peel off some logos... I'll tell people it is a concept Lambo SUV.
