My one other Countach story: one of my college roommates dated a super cool, smart, beautiful girl with incredibly rich parents. This is around 1990. One day the Countach came up in conversation and the girl said, oh, I drove one when I was 16. My father's friend handed me the keys and let me drive it around Dallas. She said it drove like a truck: hard to shift, heavy clutch and steering. That roommate only dated her for about a year but my other roommate has been with her for almost 30 years. What's the old saying? "You can marry more money in 5 minutes than you can make in a lifetime."
