Fastback Chisel Plane

I got to drive a Lamborghini Countach, way back in the day. I was really to young to be messing with such a thing, but it was a wild experience. Of course this was well before modern supercars. To me, it was "the" supercar. However, it is also one of those "never meet your heroes" things too. I wasn't on a racetrack or anything like that, it was just street driving. It was almost bad, I have since driven far better. It was very cramped, which is mostly my fault, too tall. It was stiff, to the point of being rough, heavy in the steering, and virtually impossible to back up. None of those would be important on a track, but city street driving, nope.
Take your average U-haul truck, remove the mirrors, cut the power steering belt, and you're close.

So true. My old Land Rover service guy also did some exotics and one day he had a Countach in the shop and let me sit in it. I don't know how you were able to drive it. The ideal driver has to be a small Italian guy. I couldn't really fit both feet into the pedal box wearing shoes! And that "rear window"...!
