After it was all said and done, it probably would have been cheaper for him to have bought a used Countach!  Think about how much $ it cost him to dig up the ground and get that thing out of his basement. Why on earth would he not have thought about how he was going to get it out of the basement before completing it.  Also, i want to know how he got the engine down there.

Oh yeah....on a side note....did anybody notice how awesome his mullet is in one of the pics?

t00fatt's photo gallery 		Well it''s not always about the end result. Some people just enjoy building something, then when you use it, it has much more appeal. I can tell you until I built my own R/C gas boat I didn''t really enjoy running it, there wasn''t much point. But now when I see the hull I built shooting along at 40mph just makes me smile.
