Love it!! There was a white 5000S here in Houston when I was growing up. That is what a super car looks like.
I heard they were horrible to drive though.
I saw Ron Rice's (Hawaiian tropic owner) Back in the early 90's and it looked like ****. Cardboard and duct tape convered one of the small sliding windows. It was the one used in the cannon ball run movie.

) so I street raced it and all. Took it to Moroso ( the track, not dragstrip) etc. Car never gave me any issues, always ran like a top. Looking back now I should of never sold it, as now I want another. The car has many idiosychrosies, but out on the open road, it is great fun. You wouldnt want to be in traffic in one, but they are not terribly difficult to drive, my wife at 4'11 and 95lbs would drive it, rear visibility you get used to, the a/c works ok. For me its a work of art, ive still got every picture, book, magazine, model of this car since I was 13, and after all these years, and owning one it still makes my heart skip a beat seeing one. No other car does that for me.

Oh and as for the Cannonball car... Many many years ago I ran into Ron Rice in Daytona Beach, with his Countach looking as ragged as ever. I asked if he would sell it and his reply was never. One thing is for certain he could of purchased any car he wanted and he choose to drive the hell out of this one. He has since sold it some 17yrs after I spoke to him, and it has now been restored.
