AWESOME or AWFUL: Is 1,200 Miles In A Countach Genius OR Dreadful?

A roadtrip can either be something fantastic or an utter nightmare. That's because there are a lot of variables which this is dependent on. Take, for example, the kind of car you drive: if you're in a Chevrolet Aveo and you've got 1,000 miles to drive you're probably going to be miserable. Conversely, if you're in a Rolls-Royce Ghost, you'll likely be pampered.

Here's the twist, though. What about a Lamborghini Countach QV? Yes, it is an 1980s icon of style but it is also notoriously one of the most annoying vehicles to live with. You can't see out of it and it heats up like an oven. Granted, the sound of a V12 swelling over your shoulder could make up for all of the difficulties, right?

I don't think anybody will take a supercar on a roadtrip. They're just to impractical for that. The fuel consumption is atrocious, they're cramped and you can't carry any decent-sized luggage with you.

From what I've read of driving in a Countach, 1200 miles in one seems painful.
