Lamborghini Diablo "Russ"

I bought this Diablo with a partner in 1994. We got a deal when he was offered the Diablo and two Countachs as a package. Divorce distress sale. We intended to drive it for a few weeks and then sell it for a small profit. Turns out there were more Diablos on the market than the world needed, so we kept it for 18 months.

The engine heat warped a taillight lens. It was replaced under warranty as a pair, since color matching was a problem. The list price was $1200 for a pair of plastic lenses!

Diablos drive like a dream. Massive power, great handling, quiet with the widows up, and very comfortable. Poor rear vision is not a problem-you step hard into the accelerator and everything behind you is instantly irrelevant; except police.
