Nope you’re wrong but good guess.
Actually it’s a YouTube vid of 2 lambos sitting side by side in a driveway. The chunk of driveway they're on lefts up bringing 2 more lambos up with it. Kind of like a 2 level elevator.

Think of how the elevators are on the hanger deck of an Aircraft Carrier... same design. I bet they can drive the two below off of the elevator into a space under the garage, and then put the on the bottom and store them under the driveway as well.

I can't own one Lambo, and this guy's got FOUR? (you know it has to be a guy)
I can ID the top two as Countach, and the lower yellow one is a Diablo? But what's the blue one? Are they all really Lambos?
Why am I nitpicking? Just jealous, I guess.
This isn't fair... this guy has these 4 Lambos BECAUSE of the hard work of every day Americans. It wouldn't be possible for him to own these Lamborguinis without the America that WE'VE built for him. Who does he think he is? This video is insulting (I'm insulted) to average Americans and a slap in the face because we cannot afford them. I'm glad this guy is part of the loser bunch who's paying the majority of our taxes. He SHOULD... the price of bread is the same for all of us, and he can clearly afford more than I can.
This **** just isn't right...
If I saw any one of those cars, I would key them. He doesn't deserve them. He probably got his money from his dad too... either that, or he stole it. Or... it was through stocks... that money he has now, came out of the pockets of the rest of us who lost money in our retirement plans.
(I'm really having a hard time typing this with a straight face, hah... sorry...)

Or drug sales are up.
No trouble for me to type this with a straight face.

Americans?
So tell me, where did you get the idea that these cars are in the States?

The blueish one is a Diablo SV, likely a '95 model.
EDIT: I watched the video again, and it appears that there is a silver '89 Anniversary Countach in the garage (it's facing forward), so he actually has five.
That's utterly crazy. He pretty much has a Lambo for every day of the weekday.

No. You can see the wall in front of the lift in the vid. It's just a 2 car storage. But an underground garage like that - tied in to the house's basement would absolutely ROCK! Still, I love it for security reaons, too. Just have to be careful about drainage so the underground storage doesn't flood in a downpour.
The house I grew up in had a basement garage. 1 story house with full basement, but the driveway pulled in from street level, then went down to the basement level and you drove into the basement. That gave us a nice 1500 sq. ft. garage to play in.

That would be pretty sweet, actually. The house I grew up in, in DC / Northern Virginia, there was no access to the outside from the basement. The home was built in early 1979 and at the time, there were no laws stating that the home had to have access to the outside from the garage.
Now, I believe there is a law that if the home is to have a full basement, the home must have at least 1 wall fully exposed to the outside, so the build the homes on somewhat of an incline. Seems pretty cool though...
That is a nice collection. Well, I guess when you have the cars, and have limited yard space, build downward.
There is a guy who built a lambo countach from the ground up in a basement (he watched "Cannonball Run" too much). The basement had no access to the outside. When he was done (something like 10 years later), he dug out one side, removed the wall to drive it out. The elevator idea seems somewhat better, and probably just as expensive.

if you have the money for that, I doubt you'll own a fiero. I sure wouldnt.
I would, I will never have enough money for just one of em. But I really believe I would still have a Fiero, sure it may have 20-30k worth of upgrades done to it, and probably cost more than the Lambo's to keep running. But you know how it is.

lol I may have one that doesnt look much like a fiero anymore but what I'd really like to do if I had that kind of money is build my own car from the ground up, my own designs... always have wanted to.

Well Dave, at least your guy didn't build a helicopter and then try to fly it out of the basement.

I don't suppose someone could provide a link to click on to see this video? I can't view it either for some reason and reading about it is very interesting.
