Was driving in the car yesterday and Panama came on the radio. I was able to use my new-found knowledge to impress my daughter—she who asked what Panama was. She asked me how I knew that, and of course, I gave credit where credit is due. Thanks everyone. Got rack up those hero points before puberty sets in.

I thought Panama was the name gave to his 51 Mercury. Notice it's that car that is in the video.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

What? I thought the song was "Padded Bra"?
Listening to Shoo Bop.....so glad Dave got back with Van Halen....and I'll just leave it at that.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Probably true. Lamborghini V12 engines make that sound. One of the best sounding engines ever made. Of course people wreak them by over reving them without the proper warm up and the cylinder liners go loose. Never drive a Lamborghini hard until the temperature gauge starts to move off the peg.No!

I bought a 79 Countach with a blown engine. Had my cousin overhaul the engine and it's pretty much been a trouble free car since. I'm looking forward to the gas prices this summer. You can get into an exotic car for less money than you think but you have to buy used and work on them yourself. Also, know the VIN part numbers because a lot of the parts came from other suppliers. The Lamborghini dealer will charge you $25 for a spark plug. I always like the older Lamborghinis because they really were built to be road cars. Ferrari just made cars to finance his racing operation. Nothing too complicated. Just a tank of an engine and transmission. You either love em or hate em. Where the money is on a Countach is the tubular frame. I lucked out and found one that the leather hadn't shrunk or cracked. Replacing the leather interior is expensive as well. Most these cars have low miles. People buy them and find they are a pain to drive around and just keep them in their collection. One big problem is crud in the gas tank and shrinked cracked leather. You have to use a leather conditioner or it will happen. I have dumped far less money into my Lambo than I did into my boat when I owned one. The joke about BOAT stand's for Bust Out Another Thousand is true.
What's nice unlike a boat which you have to haul and launch and deal with all of that or an airplane which has it's issues, is an exotic car is right in your garage. You hop in a go. The only problem is they aren't happy under 90MPH and so you have to break the law to keep the car happy and the cops know it. LOL! I haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-18-2012, 01:27 AM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The 2 best days of your life....
the day you buy a boat and the day you sell it.
I had a 19' ski boat with a Mercury 115 outboard. LOVED it but yeah...dumped a ton of money into it. Water skied at the river, lake, bay...and towards the end started fishing in San Diego Bay. Was great. Actually, I think I spent more money on the truck from towing the thing everywhere. Went through 2 transmission in 11 years. My S-10 Blazer just wasn't built for towing anything that heavy & for as long as I did.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.
