Time for another GORGEOUS CAR THREAD!!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

My nominee to start things off is the 1988 Lamborghini Countach.

[Susang]

1. Too bad I can't see your gorgeous car

Too me, it looks like a red X on a white background. ;-)

[miss_kitty]

2. try refresh or view image

that's how I got it to show

[Susang]

4. Nope, didn't work

And I'm not even on my Mac. :-(

[Misunderestimator]

10. Oh here's a trick... if you right click on the image, select "View image"

and voila! Refresh didn't work for me either.

[Susang]

12. I tried that first, it didn't work

I ended up having to click on properties, copy and past the url and then open the link in a new window. Strange, since I have a bland old Windows machine here at work.

[Misunderestimator]

18. That's odd...

:shrug:

[redqueen]

27. This happens to me all the time.

I decided long ago most images weren't worth the bother. :)

[Squatch]

3. Aston Martin Vanquish

[FlyByNight]

7. Nice!

The DB9s are beautiful too.

[AlCzervik]

8. that is beautiful

[miss_kitty]

24. Mmmmmmmmm-Aston Martin

there's an old one been parked in a garage across the street for me for 15-20 years. Never goes anywhere.

[tk2kewl]

5. Nader f*cked up a good thing

My first car was one of these. I still want to get another as a hobby some day.

[miss_kitty]

20. just make sure you get one with a crumple zone, m'kay?

your user name is too cool, and we'd hate to lose you!

:hi:

[tk2kewl]

25. The engine is in the back

so the front is kinda one big crumple zone

Chevy fixed the stability problems in 65 (the car in pic is a 65 and so was mine), but alas Nadar's "unsafe at any speed" mantra had stuck.

There are also lots of cool kits to further modify the suspension to make it more stable.

[terrya]

6. I was sitting at the front window of "Cocktail" in Boystown one day...

A Sunday afternoon. With my former roommate and a couple of friends. Having a few beers. Having a good time.

When all of a sudden, a white Lamborghini Countach stops at the light. Right in front of us.

And I was absolutely dazzled at how GORGEOUS this car is. It was...and is...just a beautifully designed car.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. I saw one on the highway once

holy crap - it sounds real cheesey but its a sexy machine

[terrya]

14. It is a sexy design.

This car isn't for tooling around the city. Going to the grocery store and such.

The Lamborghini Countach fairly screams "sex"

[Misunderestimator]

9. Ok, now I see it.... nice car!

[ohio_liberal]

11. 1965 T-Bird

[psychopomp]

41. 2004 Koenigsegg CCR

[zbdent]

Almost the one I actually own - 1976 (no black stripe on hood); I don't have a pic I can post online

[midnight armadillo]

43. I spied a Porsche Carerra GT recently

One of those $200k+ ones. It was in eastern MA, parked in front of a mega-high-end stereo store (the ones the sell $200k+ stereos), just before the recent blizzard. Weird. IT was gray, and much smaller than I expected.

[GumboYaYa]

57. If by gorgeous you mean the look of the car, the Porsche 356 does

it for me: http://www.autoswalk.com/porsche356.html. I love the simple but sleek lines on this car.
