" In April 1987, I was a month shy of my 15th birthday. My family still lived in Manhattan, and my bedroom walls were a collage of heavy metal bands, rappers, NBA superstars, and cars.  So many cars. Porsches. Ferraris. Panteras. Corvettes. The odd Vector. Everything. But one was most important. Lamborghini. I had at least two Countach posters. Maybe three. I was that stereotypical kid, worshipping the ultimate exotic. The prototypical supercar. The Countach was larger than life. And I remember the Sunday evening that my dad yelled, &amp;quot;Get in here!&amp;quot; from the TV room. I knew he was watching 60 Minutes. My God, so boring. But in I walked. He told me to sit down and watch. We watched this:      Morley Safer&amp;#039;s 12-minute segment on Lamborghini is unforgettable. So many images, instantly and permanently seared into memory, from Ferruccio Lamborghini transitioning from his tractor to his Countach, to a young Valentino Balboni hanging out an open scissor door in order to see while reversing. But most importantly, the 60 Minutes segment captured the inherent specialness of the Countach. It showed the man on the street&amp;#039;s reaction, in Italy and in New York. And what&amp;#039;s so marvelous it is that even now, 26 years after that piece aired, everything in it holds true. The overt machismo. The pervading sense of wonder. The sheer optimism the car embodies. Because even today, a Countach will draw a crowd. Anyone nearby is helpless as they get sucked in by the tractor beam. Same as always. Sure, &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; cars have come and gone since the car was put to pasture , but that&amp;#039;ll will never change the one great truth about it. The Lamborghini Countach was the ultimate aspirational car. Still is, if you ask me. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
