Murcielago

When the Audi Lambo Murci cars get to 10 years old, jump on a good one and ride into the sunset. They are German engineered and by this time, all of the depreciation is gone; plus, they made so many of them that parts will be around and with the German engineering thing, they should be pretty decent cars in the long term. Just be careful of cars that come out of hurricane flood country. Wetness and electronics do not mix -- totally unlike Maker's Mark....

Prices on Lambos and Ferraris are way down. The problem is that our cars are probably down too. If you are blessed, you can keep the Pantera and buy a low priced Lamborghini or Ferrari. :-)

Gallardos, especially, will be cheap because they made so many, and they really have no collectibility. I would rather have a Diablo.

I have been in several Gallardos, Murcielagos and various F-cars these last couple of months. If you can swing either of the 2 Lambos...do it! They are amazing! I guess in some respects a lot can be said about owning a modern technological masterpiece. These cars really are special in their own right, although a lot can be said about the virtue of a "Blood and Guts Pantera" too.

Some may puke, but this would be "the" color too. I like the Merci, the Gallardos just don't seem to look that exotic to me.

I'm definitely digging the color!!

That 'verde ithaca' or the orange would be my top choices. A Muricelago would be top, but I'd settle for a Gallardo, neither are staggering in performance though. That said I truly think the new Audi R8 is a huge amount of car for $115K.

I too have been looking at Lamborghini (and Ford GT) prices tumble. With my current stable I find I'm constantly working on cars, sometimes I think it would be great just to go out flip the key and drive, but then it comes to choosing which current car(s) would have to go and I find I can't decide.

Although I'd like to get away from being constantly under the car or hood, I keep telling (read: lying to) myself one day I'll reach a point they don't need anything!

With a Lambo, not woking on it would be a plus, but will ultimately be a big negative, which means keeping a piggy bank for when it goes wrong/needs servicing. Someone said put away a minimum $100/month for services.

Wow. I'd be ecstatic if I could keep my Pantera on the road for that little. Didn't you mean $1000/month?

I love the look of the Diablo. At 6'5" I barely fit in my Pantera. Does anyone know how roomy (or not) the Diablo is?

Got the green Merci in a size that avoided divorce:

I love the verde of the Lamborghini -- it is one of those colors that you love or hate, and I love it (but my other half does not; oh well....). The Lambo color reminds me of that wonderful Sassy Grass Green from the early 70's Mopars. Either color is as crazy as the cars really are; a match made in heaven.

The guy I purchsed my Pantera from down in Wichita, Ks. has since gone through a Hall Super Pantera,two Diablos & now has a Diablo & a Murcielago (colors unknown). Told him the last time I saw him up here in Topeka in a friends recently restored Pantera that I'd have to make a road trip down to see him this Spring & play with his cars! Not sure if I'll get to drive them or not - this guy is one of those types that makes you take off you shoes before you can even get into his car We'll see!
