Love all sides of that thing -- especially it's BE-HIND.

Brother had one, but sold it. Too much money for him for one car alone. His friend still has one and I got some good footage when he took me for a ride in it. Some of you saw the footage from an old trailer of a DVD my friends and I are trying to put out by early next year.

Heh, Heh.....don't drool over it too much, guys. Yeah, it's an exotic that turns heads, but Italian cars are notorious for being repair-shop queens....even quarter-million dollar ones like this. The "priviledged, well-heeled" person who owns this probably spends a fortune in maintenance and has to put up with a lot opf down time.

Yes, but people that can afford to spend that much on a toy they drive once or twice a week usually don't care for trivial stuff like that. They already factored that in in their purchasing decision.

Unhappy Yes...

The repairs are high... My brother in law has a Diablo and has it in the shop now. It's been there almost a month and at a cost over $5,000. But yeah, he can afford it.....

Audi (the owner of Lamborghini) had a big part in de development of this car so I think most reliability issues that Lamborghini had have been solved.
