i'm not sure if the semi was involved.... it was parked on the grass there. no damage to the countach that i could see. it was an older grey haired guy driving.

Nice car, I've yet to see a real one... I always see the same kit car in Calgary.

I saw that too. The Countach had a flat from what I could tell.
Don't understand why the cops were involved. :dunno:
Baller status? Own a Countach and you get special police protection when you get a flat tire?

Could be a curious cop, majority of times when there is someone with a flat on the side of the road, they are obligated to help.

Could be wrong.

But if i was a cop, I would stop to see why a lambo is stopped on the side of a major road:dunno:

cops would have stopped for anybody there being a high traffic area. People slow down for cops but not so much for a car, even if it is a lambo.

happened to me on deerfoot. My tire blew out and I was on the side of the road throwing a spare on. Cop came up behind me, jumped out and asked if he could call anyone, I said it was fine and he just said he was going to sit here with his lights on until I was done just so people didn't fly past me. I didn't mind thats for sure!

same thing happened to me..but stupid me i didn't have anything in order to put the spare on...so i called ama and they came.... traffic was still blasting by...so they had to call another tow truck to get them finally slow down...

i would rather that and for sure they provide that at deerfoot

thats not a kitcar, is a real 5000qv

i've seen cops park in behind cars with flats, for traffic safety, but i'm sure they were glad to stop & check out a lambo :rofl:

can you actually get a ticket if you don't have any rear visibility?

If you pull over on Deerfoot (or any major trail) cops will generally stop to check that everyone is OK and run a bit of defense to slow traffic so that you can either change your tire or allow a towtruck enough room to work.

Yeah that one is real.

I have a picture of a yellow countach... but I am almost 100% that it is the one that is a kit car.

I saw this on Barlow and Mcknight earlier this week. It's so damn striking in real life. Looked like a middle age guy driving it.

Flat tire i guess you can say that the whole real left was smashed in, it hurt the eyes to see it like that.
