I am 52 with a wife, a pipsqueak, and a few rare exclusive garage queens. However, in hindsight it occurs to me I am watching my childhood bedroom wall posters come to life here in 4K. I tip my hat and give two enthusiastic thumbs up to James!! Thank you Strad for sharing your fame and fortune with your millions of friends. EDIT: since everybody's asking. I have a Dodge Viper convertible, a Mercury Marauder, and an Impala SS. And then three more lame-ass regular vehicles.

Haha, I'm 51, and I had both this Countach, and the 25th Anniversary Countach posters on my wall. As a kid, you couldn't tell me I wasn't gonna have one of these cars. But alas.. real life has a habit of crushing dreams like those.

My first experience in a Countach was back in 1988. My old man was a exotic car mechanic in Scottsdale. The owner of the Countach was a buddy of my Dad and took me for a drive in it. At that moment I fell in love with the Lambo. It was white on tan. Side note: I also credit the movie Cannon Ball Run for the Lambo. You should look into the new Lambo Countach also. I guarantee that'll be a collector in no time.

Because buying all these cars and living this lifestyle is making up for a deep sadness somewhere 😥 Chasing artificial happiness, have you seen how much Stradman loves he's dog 🤣 hes just like a normal depressed person, he's dog is he's world, he would probably choose Oscar over all the cars 😅 anyways hope you are okay who ever where ever you are & blessings & love to you and your family ❤️ stay strong & smile in the Devils face 🤣 he hates that 😅

It really makes you appreciate how far cars have come in the last 25 years! I myself love older Detroit muscle, I own a 1970 Chevelle with a 598 cubic inch monster stroker motor, but I'd never even consider driving it across country. But for my everyday vehicle I drive a 2021 Silverado, that's like driving a 4 wheel drive Cadillac with how far they've come. The Lamborghini also holds a place in my heart from when I was younger. However, I'd really love for a chance to drive a Vector if there's any left out there, I haven't seen one of those in over 20 years now.
