But does the old white tractor have “Lambo doors”? LOL
On a related note, my favorite Lamborghini is still the Countach. Not nearly as fast as the newer cars but had such a cutting edge design when it came out that I swore I’d own one. Haven’t gotten it yet, but haven’t given up the dream either.
I think they are pretty cheap right now.
I came of age in the 80s. I started the decade playing with and collecting Matchbox cars, got my DL in the middle years of the decade, and bought my first car towards the end of it. It was during the 80s that my male car gene got switched on, and I always liked the Countach as well. Jay Leno does a nice, nostalgic look back at it here:

I have a friend who deals in used cars. He’s had many of the super cars at one point or another. I’ve had the opportunity to drive many of them.
Each of the makers has a specific “feel” to them. They are suited to a driving style and either you like that style or you don’t. Most people who have bought these super cars simply have no idea why they bought it, other than they always wanted one.
Those doors are a pain.
I got to drive a Guiardo a few years back. There was a button to raise the nose when you went up curbs because it could scratch easily. Fun part was the top down. When the V10 kicked it it made a gorgeous racket.
LOL I was in Malibu in... 2004 or so and looked at a Countach with 20,000 miles or so. Mint, serviced, etc. $35,000 which meant $30K cash easy.
Thought to myself: “such an iconic car, how could this NOT be a great investment?”
Passed on it.
Then again, where do you stow a Countach for 10 years?
