Almost every man dreams of owning a sports car, but very few are rich enough to do it. Most guys eventually decide to give up the dream and live within their means, but not Ken Imhoff. Ken decided that if he wasn't rich enough to buy one, he was going to build his own dream car; a 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S.

Handcrafting every single part, it took him 17 years to complete the monumental undertaking. But once he was done, he found a legitimate Lamborghini staring him back in the face. The only problem was, how would he get it out of his basement?

In the end, as any man would, Imhoff chose his car over his house and knocked out the side of his basement wall with a bulldozer. 

Ken might have flown a little too close to the Sun with his idea, but he's hardly the only one. Check out a photo of his Lambo, and 20 other people who got overly ambitious.
