Since I started this thread and I have not voted on who's car I like the most, I guess I will now. Here it is:

I like the color of dogsbreath's and Lambo_Boys Diablo's.
I like the body style of AWDiablo
I like the rims and multimedia system on mine.
I like the roadster's. Only when the tops are Off. They look muscular. But with the top on, I think the convertible top makes the car look disproportionate. (Thats just MY opinion of course)
I don't know what you guys have done, performance wise, but I love the way my upgraded exhaust sounds. So I would have to pick my car for engine pur.

My final thought is that I love my car and would not want to drive any other diablo. And I am sure AW, Dog's, and Lamb0_boy would say the same.

No offense, not a flame, and not to shit on you thread or anything, i love lamborghini's and all (who wouldnt?) But i persoanlly feel that an XJ220 looks better than them all, just because it isnt so....straight. It's got more curves and stuff. Just voicing my opinion. BTW, how do you all afford these cars?!

do you mind me asking what kind of company it is? also you must of known alot about computers and business to start that when you were so young

i used to love computers but after taking a computer engineering course in high school i have started hating that stuff.... I just don't like all that circuit and logic gate crap.... now I'm really interested in business, do you guys know a good field in business to enter so that i could also some day afford a Diablo? I just want some tips, cause all you guys must have made really good choices if you're driving these beautiful cars

It really depending on what you do, and your luck and everything!

I mean there may be thousand people like Abstract are trying to open a Computer related business everyday, but how many can really SUCEED??

Abstract for one!! but not many others, in fact there are only a very few.

Therefore the assumption of doing computer will make money is not ture!! Ultimatly you do what you are good at, and what you enjoyed at, you will find if you follow that rule, you'll earn more money than others and more happier to go to work than others, not to mention the hurry of getting into a Diablo to work!! i want to drive it every where.....

haha.....

Would the others agree??

i use to love the XJ220 a lot, but i have to say, it's not a hot as a F50, nor as Wild as a Diablo.

i don't deny its one of the best supercars, it is! But compare to the Bawling Diablo, and Exotic Ferraris, it is not that shiny through..

did anybody here with a diablo gain their money through a career in business? if you did, i wanna hear about it.... cause i like business...
I think it's pretty much impossible for me to be able to afford a diablo in my 20s though... like you guys are lucky, alot of you have your diablos at the same time most people are in college

cool!

Thanks lambo-boy, i was worried i was gonna get flamed.
Really, the only thing i dont like aobut the xj is its 6 banger TT. Even a V8 would have been more.....better. Well whatever, when i become rich, designing cars and stuff myself, and have a car named after me... the M21, hehe, im sure ill get a (by then) vintage XJ220

My advice to you is to find out what it is that you love and have a passion for and choose that as your career. Of course there might be things out there that you can do that will make you more money, but in the long run I don't think that you will be happy.

For me personally, I barley graduated high school and dropped out of college. Everyone said I would never amount to anything.

By luck I found a mentor in business 4 years ago and my life has been different ever since. I think why I have had the little success that I have had is because I love doing what I do. I can't wait to wake up in the morning and I can't go to sleep at night because life is good.

I am not very computer literate. I mean I can operate windows and stuff like that, but when it comes to programming and what not, I have not a clue. I handle the funding and business administrative aspect of our company.

STEEL, the XJ220 is a nice car, and very expensive, but I don't think it has the brutal looks, that a sports car is supposed to have. The lines on the XJ220 are too rounded and smooth. Performance wise I have no idea. I have never driven a XJ220 so I can't say anything about it, but for me I would rather pull up at a club in a Lamborghini rather than a Jaguar. People know Lamborghini, the name alone commands respect.

I love that Jag to death, but it is very '80s looking, and I don't expect them to be in high demand anytime soon.

heh that's like me... but the only reason i struggle is because i procrastinate soooo much, i never do my work, when i have an essay due the next day and it's like 5pm i feel like i still have tons of time.... i get distracted by freakin everything i can't concentrate on one thing... I'll be workin on the essay for like 5 min. then i'll just be like aright i'll go on automotiveforums for 5 min. then an hour later, i think i should get back to my essay, heheh

My business teacher said that I'm amazing with business, last year i got a $100 HMV gift certificate, cause the business i created on the computer gained the most money in our school..... and when we did a stock market thing my stock value raised more than anybodies in my grade (like 500 people)... i think in like 6 weeks my stocks grew from $100,000 to $138,000
