Why We Should Have Gone to Business School: the Ultimate Lambo Garage (VIDEO)
Click above to jump to the video
We can justify spending our time blogging about exotic supercars -- instead of pursuing the wealth to acquire them -- because once in a while we get a chance to get behind the wheel. But this just isn't fair. Just like the "Justification for Higher Education" poster everyone had on their walls in the 80s, the video after the jump shows a trick garage housing not one, not two, but five Lamborghinis – a pair of Countaches (the later anniversary models from the looks of things) and a pair of hidden Diablos rising up from the underground like their namesake... and what appears to be a third Diablo inside. We'll take some comfort in the notion that this must be some meeting of the local Lambo owners' club and not one man's private stash. Follow the jump to watch the short clip and thanks to Brad for the tip.

I'm not sure if they are street lights. It almost looks like a model.

Yeah, skeptic, I thought that at first as well, but then I watched it a few times more and it looks more real.
I think the lights dim like that because a nearby camera flash goes off, and the video camera adjusts it's white balance but never recovers to the original white balance.

No joke, that video almost brought a tear to my eye.
Got to be one of the coolest setups i've ever seen.

Until it rains and you flood that lower compartment with two lambos in it.

No amount of money, cars, or "trim" could compensate me enough for two years in business school. I happen to like not being a tool and not dressing like Dick Cheney.

That's the best excuse for being too stupid for college ever...

Law enforcement mayor. going for CHP, I would stop any super car and I would tell them how to drive their cars at reasonable speed. then I would give them a ticket. lol

Ahh, I see a couple of the sheep have spoken-up. Believe it or not, it is possible to have a completely satisfying personal, financial, and professional life without donning a pair a khakis, getting a nice haircut and bankrupting yourself through the tedium and utter pointlessness of business school. You either follow (that would be you), or you lead (that would be me). Now get back to that PowerPoint you were working on, your boss is watching.

Directing kids to their table at Chuck E. Cheese does not qualify as "leadership".
You want to see a real non-conformist? Go look at the nerd studying all day long in the library so he can qualify for a scholarship.
You want to see a leader? Go look at the college students that skip frat parties and pantie raids so they can break their back at a part time internship.
Believe it or not, education matters! I've met backwoods idiots who, through hard work, have become extremely successful. I've also met literal geniuses who, because of arrogance, are earning less in a year than I earn in a month.
fizzandpop 7:35PM (10/22/2008)
You fail to notice that, like military intelligence, business school is a contradiction in terms. Education is priceless, but you can't learn how to be successful, as you've no-doubt found out for yourself. But keep making vulgar references to your salary, by all means.

Really? No amount of money - or more importantly "trim" as you so crudely put it - could compensate you for attending 4 semesters of graduate school? So if Angelina Jolie showed up at your door with a briefcase containing $10,000,000 in one hand and an acceptance letter to Wharton in another, you'd turn her down?
You don't go to B-school for the education, you go for the opportunities. For many positions, a MBA is a barrier to entry. But if it helps you rationalize your personal feelings of inadequacy, don't let me stop you. Lead on, hard charger!

So fizz how's that goin? Makin the millions, or still scheming your way there? I'm sure you'll always be on your next big thing to make you rich, but never get there...

I agree with ya on this point! BUT as soon as you said "or you lead (that would be me), you lost my vote.
You see. In order to lead, you have to have followers! And anyone that is that pompous clearly does not since anyone that would "follow" such a pompous person would (i infer) clearly be uneducated. So then that leaves you with morons and that would make you their leader!
Here's to you Captain Moron!
Can I call you Mo?

Cool set up, but why so many Countaches and Diablos when don't even seem to differ except in color? No imagination...A Espada, Urraco or 400GT wouldbe impressive. Just reinforces what I've thought all along: The rich are not very creative or individual.

Yes, I find a hidden, remote operated two-level driveway the definition of tedium. Not very creative or individual at all.
And having a passion for collecting classic Lamborghinis is duller than collecting stamps. I wish the wealthy knew how to have fun.

i didn't know that my jaw can drop down that far...
