For 35 years that basic look really hasn't gone away.

No doubt. It was a car that was designed and started production in the mid 70s. Kind of how a lot of those cars were.


His is a 1989, but yeah I agree the technology didn't change much I guess. I feel like I need a chiropractor visit after riding in it.

This is what it looks like.

F40 is up there, and the 959 is classic. But for cool factor, it's between the F40 and the Countach, and I'd likely give the Lambo the edge.

Gull wing doors make that edge.

periodically he would take it to the airport and open it up on the taxiways

The F40 but it didn't have a cool name like Countach.

I think as I'm getting older it's becoming less and less fun to ride in it. It really bangs you around. It's a beauty though.

I liked the Vector’s interior more, just for sheer craziness.
