That's not under his nose, it's on the outside crease where the edge of his nostril meets his face/upper lip, and I believe it's just dried/flaky skin. Might be some dandruff-like skin infection or something, but the fact that it's on the side of the nostril is what's important. If you miss a bump of coke, it won't stick on the side of the nostril like that, it would go on your upper lip, just below the nostril or on your face to the left/right of the nose. Besides, with how sweaty Doug gets inside of cars on hot days, the powder would dissolve into the sweat pretty much instantly. Also, @the guy that suggested it was "Meth", no one really snorts meth, and even on the rare occasion someone does, it's not a white powder, it's (or it *should* be) crushed up clear crystals.

3 defrosters, on the windshield, so the entire windshield would defrost, rather than 2 round areas on either side of a large rectangular windshield. 2 vents low on the center stack, one for each passengers lap and body, as the windshield vents would keep their heads warm, and two air ducts under the dash heated their legs. Btw Doug, that horn is relatively common... especially in Europe.

Yeah, I would say its pretty normal to open the left door with the left hand. In that way the door opens directly in front of you for easy access. Open it with the right hand, and either you are in the way of the door or have to do strange arm movements.

[@rover213]

@@ThaOwl indeed, even on regular pull door handles I use the hand that corresponds to the door I'm facing, left door left hand, right door right hand... exceptions are made for example in some European cars like the Peugeot 106 3 doors, Renault super 5, 3 doors you have to use the right hand on the left door because the door handle is "hidden" in the door frame

[@matthewmcnitt8405]

I enjoy Doug's reviews immensely, but I was surprised to see some obvious design details he missed here. Interesting to note the styling cues Lamborghini took from the 308 - perhaps to attract attention to this model from the more popular 308 - specifically in the front end (especially the rectangular fog lights akin to the Ferrari GTO of that era that used the same 308 body) and the round tail lights which are signature Ferrari.The Pininfarini designed 308 is still one of the most beautiful exotics ever built with gorgeous organic lines, very different from the angular, muscular bolt-on flares of this car, and its big brother, the Countach, which I also love, but give a very different look.This was not the signature "80's" exotic look, it was just Lamborghini's.

[@wezreviews618]

3:00 : "Organomic disaster" only its not. Common sense says on the left side, your left hand should be used to open the door and on the right side, the right hand comes ahead to open the door. Unless your brain is messed up or you have something in your hand.

[@bluetoes591]

Yup. Every push button door release on all the cars from the 80s and earlier agrees with you. And every 80s and earlier VW and Audi.

Yep. Opening the door with the opposite hands means you're opening it to your body. But "Italians, so quirky".
