This isn't a lame kit car, this guy decided to build his own Lambo after seeing the movie Cannonball Run over 17 years ago. So he designed and hand fabricated a replica of the Lamborghini Countach in his Basement. It's quite the impressive build.

So this is like Mike Mulligan & his Lambo Mary? What good is the thing in the basement other than a boiler?

I knew of a guy once who built an airplane in his basement and had to knock down one of the walls to get the plane out when it was finished.

Look at the whole article.. He hired a contractor to open up the basement to get it out once he was finished. Now he has his own bat cave as well.

Too bad now that it's finally finished it's out of style.

Thank you, crockett. That building renovation mentioned, I thought, was cooler than the part about the car.
