Is it possible to love a Countach more than this?

- Casey Putsch (IG @caseyputsch) was a child of the 80s and there is nothing more 80s than a Lamborghini Countach. It was his goal to buy one and when it happened, it seems to have lived up to the hype.

"I'm gonna 80's so hard, for so long with this thing, Yes! What can I do? How can I be more 80's?" I honestly expected him to say he developed a coke habit lol
Legotruck82 he talks so fast i wonder sometimes
That blue interior. It makes this 1980s teenager's heart skip a beat.
I didn't have the poster. I had pictures of the Ferrari BB 512 taped all over the back of my bedroom door, though. To this day, the Berlinetta Boxer makes me damp.
I can certainly relate to that V12 Lambo love. Great story Casey.
Thanks Ed! Honored to be on your show again!
@@CaseyPutsch both yall suck
@@idontlikecops1 does that make you blow ?
That shirt looks like it's in pain
Aaaweeee. Ruined the vid for me. Aaaaaa I cant even watch the vid now ! Thanks Issac. Hahha
Helps to read my comment in Bill Burrs voice
Father Firefighter lol
Father Firefighter like the 80’s
Pain? or Pleasure?
That is such a perfect color combo for a Countach.
White is by far my favorite color on the Countach, but that grey-ish silver is something special. The color kind of becomes a non-color and really accents all the angles/lines on that car. Its like the color becomes background and the sculpture of the car is revealed.
IMO silvers and metallic greys work really well on wild looking cars, they are SO boring on a more normal 4 door sedan, where a bold color can make up a bit for the autonomous look.
PWright. I agree 100%. The only other colors I’ve seen were white, black or red. First silver I’ve ever seen and by far the best. IMO anyway.
Especially with the Blue interior
The blue interior is horrible. With silver, you want either a black or dark red interior.
@@stanleymasterson1135 i like blue is sick
Lady Killer 😎 great story Casey. Remind me to send ya a shirt so you can send Doug’s back to him 😂
Hahahah! Yeah man. This Vinwiki crowd is all about the fashion. :)
I think Rob, Ed, Casey and Doug should be the new US Top Gear
GTO Blake that'd be cool as hell! I'd definitely watch.
I freaking agree! Hey Rabbit, Doug, and Ed!@@blakea216
Those buttons are working overtime lol!!
Great story. Well done. You can tell he REALLY liked and misses that car
Accurate and thank you!
80s is LIFE! A great adventure that I hope to have again one day and hope you all enjoy the stories!
Of course Batman drives a Lambo!
Great story Casey, we don't care if you ain't right..
I like you're stories you inspire me :D
Dude don't be sad about selling your car at the wrong time. If you didn't enjoy it then what's the point of keeping it when you can sell it and buy a more fun car (that's subjective) instead.
Coming from a 17 year old who has never owned a car so don't know if I make any sense. But I think money isn't that important when you can have cool car experiences instead.
idk...
Thanks guys for the kind words! Yes, hopefully more fun it to come! I’ve spent my whole life the last 5 years building Genius Garage and would really love a little me time to just have some fun again. But there is more to life than just Hooning around, so we make a balance. Hope you enjoyed the story!
You have the greatest stories Casey!
Jeez. This was so good. Practically brought a tear to my by the end lol.
Me too. I think I've heard enough stories like this to know that when my dream car is MY car (Countach and/or Stratos) I will NEVER sell it. Ever.
This channel is so therapeutic as an enthusiast! It’s like having the older car mentors that I’ve always wanted
The worse thing is all their stories correlate in absolutely true terms to how most car guys buy, sell, regret, love and have misadventures etc. with their cars - no matter how cheap or expensive the car is.
ChawenHalo 008 I agree! But I’d argue that’s the best aspect of the channel 👍🏼
@@gtab6936 absolutely. It helps one realise that maybe not so nuts after all, that "man-math" can indeed work!
This was my favorite story so far. We are so alike with our passion for cars especially ones from 80’s and 90’s
Thanks!
I think a great lesson I learned a few years back is that we don't actually own these cars. We are stewards of them. The art, craftsmanship and even the history that follows them around are on full display.
When someone sees one of these old Lamborghinis all this comes flooding back. It's the 12 year old's poster sitting right there in front of everyone.
It's not yours... it's everyone's. Everyone relates to these things in some way.
The biggest shame is for someone to buy it and then refuse to show it.
What you did was the best thing anyone could have done. With love, you owned it and restored it. You kept it running and you allowed it to be loved by others.
Thanks for the story. You presented your version of a car I also very much loved growing up. It was my honor to actually be allowed to back one up. Learning how to do that simple thing gave me so much joy I can hardly tell you. Seeing your car from the rear with the door up brought me right back to that time.. a better time and place. Better in my imagination than it probably was in reality... all because of a piece of Italian rolling art.
You can really hear the pain in his voice when he said he sold it and misses it.
Spot on. At least he enjoyed it for a short time
This channels genuine love for cars is such a nice change of pace from every day dealership life. Keep these stories coming!!
We will
The 80s will never die. My go to dream cars were the Countach and the Vector. Anyone remember that "legend?" Great VinWiki episode, really hit the spot.
It's hard to forget that pile of acute angles!
Great story! I have been to the Italian Gathering many many times and it is a great car show. This year I was the highest bidder on a charity auction for a ride in an Aventador SV! We took a bunch of super cars and cruised the country roads around Delaware Ohio.
Casey is fast becoming a favorite on here along with Rabbit.
What sucks is that sooner or later they will run out of stories to tell. Then we will just have to re-watch the old ones.
Can we get a line of cocaine on Isle 69 please by the silver countach display , thank you
My uncles mate had one once, in a working class town in england, the memories of being in that thing ( white with white interior and wheels, wing - 5000s 2 valve) are some of the best I have. The clash of dreary northern England town and white Countach was quite something. Very inspiring.
VinWiki upload. My day is complete.
Casey is learning from Master Bolian. Each presentation is better.
The fact that Casey was able to work on his own Countach is the most intriguing part. It's one thing to own and drive a car like this, it's another thing to be able to maintain it and repair it
Pierre Hedary thanks for noticing!
Casey wasn't really my favorite personality at first, but I really like how he has been so dedicated to obtaining his dream rides without being born with a silver spoon. Hard work, dedication and dedication to the things he loves. Impressive.
the upscriber thank you!
01:45 - "If I got rid of every car I owned, I could potential afford [a countach]... and so I was looking." - a true car enthusiast
Weaponized Memes cheers sir!
He’s just such a great raconteur.
The way he tells the story all animated. Then he goes quieter and sums up.
Bravo sir
I put on my 'Members Only' jacket to watch this~
And your Polo hat?
Haaaaaaa lmao.
You better have popped your collar! :)
@@CaseyPutsch oh hell ya!..lol..GREAT story by the way Casey- as usual!
It is also mandatory to push up your Members only Jacket sleeves.
“Pretty sure that song gave me mono once” 😂😂😂
It totally did!
Casey, I'm sure it was another kinda sugar that gave you mono......nice try bro! LOL. Keep the stories coming, "Don't stop...Believe'n " (see what I did there?) HA!
e mo DAHAHAHAHAHA! Well it’s an “Easy Lover” and I’m a sucker for “The Power of Love”
Glad I found this comment. That was a quick but underappreciated comment.
Seen that Casey was telling the story I just knew it was going to be an epic story!
Always is he's a great story teller and a great dude.
The genius garage project is worth more than this countach ever will. Don't be too harsh on yourself Casey.
Thank you. I agree. Hopefully the world will too.
Casey Putsch those kids who you helped realise a dream certainly do.
Damn you are my favourite storyteller from VINwiki, I believe your passion for cars and the car world is very inspiring! Keep it up :)
Cheers and thank you!
This man brings so much love in my heart for my own car
He loved that car you can hear the emotion in his voice.
Last time I was this early, the Chrysler transmission hadn't started slipping yet.
Sooooo 350 miles ago?
Almost nothing beats the right back road in the right car. Really good video (one of the best).
Haha! love that quote "it's already smoking a little" The words of a true Petrol head!
The way Casey loves the Countach is the same way I feel about a Viper. I would absolutely die for a chance to own one.
What a totally rad story. I know they're not necessarily that great to drive, but the sense of occasion with a Countach is second to none.
This guy is my spirit animal.
I'm living vicariously through this guy.
Every man from the 80s should have a Countach in their garage. Even if it doesn't run.
Every time I see a Casey story, at first im like, I don't think I'm going to like this guy and every time I get half way through I'm like, I totally want to be his best friend. Cool dude, who truly loves cars. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers sir!
Casey Putsch it's time to buzz the tower my man....
OHHH! Check out my Instagram. I got something up my sleeve.....
@@dlgump
Saw the thumbnail and KNEW it was Casey, man I love this guy😅
Great story and resonates so loud with me. I too have owned a few cool cars. We did the cars and coffee thing and truly enjoyed the car life with 500 friends but the best times were on that back road and small city. Quick day or weekend drives with the wife or son to a location to be determined along the way. Great story and great story telling here. Thanks for sharing.
Ron Hewett cheers!
I dont know about anyone else but i would love to hear this guys take on what cars mean to him. No comedy, no bs just heart. He jokes alot but right at 8:31... I felt that. I can relate on a completely different level. Hats off to you man
ChaseTheHonda I think wankers who can’t drive or wrench their way out of a paper bag artificially inflate prices of cool cars out of the socio economic class of most car people and ruin the art of driving and the automobile. Thank fully there are great kit cars and replicas out there now! Cars to me are simply “the art of life”! No cars equals no life! Time to get a horse, a balloon, and a French Chateau. :)
8:30 Man that is what it is all about- Soul. Soul of the driver meshed with the soul of the car. I've never owned or even driven a Countach and probably never will, but I know that feeling and it is amazing.
7:58
WOW.
What a combination.
Winning combo if there ever was one 👌🏻
Love a Casey story, you can the love for the automotive culture he has
I can only imagine how much fun that car must have been. So iconic to those of us that grew up in the 80's. It's clear that Casey had/has a strong emotional connection to the car and what it embodied. What a great example of an iconic car too. Wow.
More recent reviews of the Countach seem only now to give the car it's due. I remember reviews years ago that too often were limited to city streets and a couple of acceleration runs. They always raved about the looks and hated the rest of the car. But here we have Casey Putch talking about a couple of back road drives, Harry Metcalf of Harry's Garage taking his through Europe, and Matt Farah of the Smoking Tire driving his on two-lane back roads. Each of these reviews pointed out just how good the Countach is as a GT putting on many miles a day. Well deserved for such a unique car.
I had the poster. I love the sound this car makes, especially when upshifting
: ) Great story! I enjoyed this and think it was an amazing experience to have!
I am from Delaware Ohio and I remember hearing about that Countach driving around town! I love knowing now why it was here and the story behind it! Thanks for completing the story for me!
I love the look of this particular Countach .
Casey, I feel your pain -- and share your elation. Great story!! Thanks!!!
I think it's illegal to be this passionate about cars.
This guy has some of the most entertaining stories on your Channel
He has some great ones for sure.
Man, you just told the story I thought I'd talk about, but couldn't do it and you did! AND you kept it humble and real. I've always wanted a Countach, thanks for that experience bro...
"Because I forgot the highways. l just found the roads that seem to wind to the middle of nowhere, go through little towns...the streams, the lakes. And that was what a Countach was"
That part.
Would love to own a Countach one day. They are beautiful cars. Great story!
Drilled and jetted the quiver of weber? carburetors on your kitchen table? IMPRESSIVE. Very impressive.
Need more Casey on this channel.
Awesome story as always Casey. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
This guy is the best story teller.
Casey is the man as always... This was an awesome video. Very inspiring.
For anyone of a particular age, a Countach is just the magical embodiment of what an exotic car is. As I've grown older, though, I have to say the shape of the LP400, without all the flares and wings, is more exciting to me now.
#2 behind Ed for me. Feel so bad about him selling and missing out on the 8x. And the day before I start my year long airstream photography road trip. As Ice Cube says, today was a good day. May not be a quote exactly.
That sounds like an epic trip! Have fun and be safe.
Was I the only one squinting through that entire video waiting for somebody to lose a eye when one of those shirt buttons... popped.
I can feel your love for this car. Regardless of the trappings and reasons and hangups that other people put on those things, you should never make those decisions, if you can help it, based on those things. Make it for you. You have done some amazing things, and you will never know what could have been, because of what is. You are an amazing inspiration! Never forget that.
Better than to have loved and lost than never loved at all , yes its all about the design,craftsmanship, engineering ,sound and the smell of gasoline in the cockpit.
I agree with going and getting lost. That's how I like to drive my STI. Going out at 3 am and driving until the sun comes up.
Another awesome story, thanks.
I love that he was able to buy his dream Countach, just hate that he is obviously still financially struggling to recover from it. I have a few shirts that I think would fit you comfortably if you'd like, just until you can buy some bigger ones of your own. Thanks for sharing your story and memories!
I lived in NYC in the 80s into the mid 90s , I worked for many artist building custom stretchers for their works and had opportunities to buy many works that would be worth hundreds of millions today . I have no regrets because the memories are invaluable.
Story about brought a tear to my eye...
Tuning webber's on a V12 Lamborghini! That takes some time and serious patience.
Oh you know it does!
Bringing Back The 80's fun
The Countach is one of the ultimate cruiser cars
A model from a fashion show a silver countach and my goofy ass
10/10 memorable quote
great story
Story of my life!
Glad your Rover didn't blow up while towing it
Marco Chavanne
Mine was a 2001 and it did
@@classiccarguy7757 RIP
Traded a 4ruunner for a Disco and I couldn't drive it one block before the engine shit the bed. Head gaskets let go within 5 minutes.
Marco Chavanne that is what happened to mine. I still spent thousands on s rebuild but when I had to replace ,, replaced oem parts that were installed in less than s year I knew I had to walk away.
@@marcochavanne That 4runner is still on the road.
@@classiccarguy7757 I think it was actually in reference to Ed Bolian's first car, a green Disco that overheated and seized.
I love his stories. I’m from/live in Dayton Ohio and I travel all over Ohio. I see his stories and say “ooh I’ve been there,” or “hey that’s around the corner from ____!” It’s just really cool.
I relate with this guy so heavy, being a kid growing up late 90s/early 2000s and seeing how attainable all my favorite cars that in my eyes were always priceless are now actually priceless in value and not attainable at all
Love this channel!!
I'm so late to view this video, Max Speeds already commented on tomorrows post.
This guy annoys the everloving shit out of me and i dont know why
Tha Hoova Cause he’s gay as fuck and never shuts the fuck up
That dude is on every video
He has notifications set for every CZcams car channel
Loved this. Thanks for sharing your story.
I like this guy. He’s cut differently.
"I'm pretty sure 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' gave me Mono once" Me too Casey, me too
I knew it! Totally happened!
Yeah, picking up a Countach mid-00s would not have been a bad investment as it turns out. I can at least rest easy in that there's no way I'd have been able to swing one at the nadir of their value anyway. Actually knew a fellow in the Northeast that would at least annually track his black/gold Countach. Not the best car for a circuit, but it put up with it as well as anything else that old, which is saying something.
I wonder if they will drop again. Surely it was because they were all in such bad shape. Maybe it will happen again.
Another fantastic story Casey!
Thanks Vas!
It is in fact possible to love a Countach more.
17 years building it in one's garage kind of love.
Whoa a Countach
One of the most Lamborghini cars ever made
Its the hostess with the mostest!
Quality videos to help me waste quality office time 👌
I've been on a 'Forgotten Weapons/InRangeTV' kick lately. So much so that I figure I'll probably donate to their Patreon thing. Had no idea I loved gun history so much.
Having a Chromecast doesn't help the matter, either. Now I can watch it all on my big ass flat screen TV 😆
I should be at work and I’m here watching this 🤣
Funny Momentz Go to work, don't be a douché. School doesn't matter that much because it only hurts yourself, not being at work kinda screws over other people tho. Unless you are your own boss, that's different then
Kasper Leinonen h
A timely story. Thanks for sharing.
God, Casey just knows how to tell a story, making sure that we understand what passuon for cars is! Great Story!!
"And i'm like... Okay be cooool~" had me laughing lol
doctorstruts looo exactly
It is funny seeing some of the photos in familiar areas. I spotted ESOTERIC fine auto detailing, Easton, and the lawn in front of the Wendy’s headquarters.
You’re a normal guy! I freakin love it!! THAT is what this hobby is all about. You rock! And May God bless you. Great video!!
John Slagel cheers friend!
I love this guys enthusiasm for cars
Countach must be nerve-racking to drive. Great story as always Casey
Not really man. It just requires a certain confidence. Then it is amazing!
Stfu bitch
Fuert Neigt I agree! It’s annoying having to recount stories from memories. :)
MaxSpeed they’re definitely a unique car, to back up you open the door and stick your head out lol
Love these stories epic. Gives hope to others.
Love the Delaware, OH mention! My hometown! Great story and it was a great car to behold.
Caseyyyyyyyy back at it again with the awesome story! My hero
