Title: Man makes a handmade Lamborghini in his basement
Post by: crockett on October 24, 2008, 08:48:45 AM: 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.

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. :D
