You and I don't have $63,000. Therefore, we can't overcome the disservice that's been done to this 2001 Lamborghini Diablo; a disservice that's done to many supercars every day. However, "many supercars" isn't necessarily a term that applies to a 2001 Lamborghini Diablo. An era was coming to an end in 2001.There have been "many" Diablos, but the Diablo can't be linked to the generic term: supercar. It splits the difference between the ridiculousness of the Countach and the absolutely spectacularly incredible Murcielago, a car that's used by Simon George everyday. Diablo, everyday? Surely you kid.
True, yes we must be honest, this Diablo is only seven years old but is (whisper it) damaged. The seller says, "The interior is complete!!" Exclamation points are free.
For $63,000, you could have a Lexus ISF with spare change for gas and insurance. Or, if your interest is within the office, 26 iMacs with 24" screens and the highest performance could be your's for $63,000. Six bankers in London dined at Petrus a few years ago. Their bill rang up to $63,000 when converted from pounds sterling. They tried to expense it; were fired and roundly mocked. $63,000 is the cost of slapping a teenager in Salt Lake City. At least, it was the cost a few months ago for a police officer. Inflation may change all that. In Kingsport, Tennessee there's a two-bedroom house for $63,000. It even has a one-bedroom apartment.
Or.... you could have a 2001 Diablo. Yes, we all know now that it's seriously damaged and will cost many thousands more to fix. But to leave this Diablo sitting in somebody's backyard acting as a disgrace to Ferrucio Lamborghini - now that's a disgrace.
Surely I jest.
