  1. I’m definiately wanting a flex fuel coupe. Since the Diablo isn’t, is it a good buy?

    I saw the recent news about Lamborghinis and their reliability. I personally would check out web sites like edmunds.com and others before I made a choice of a car like the Diablo.

  3. My guild seriously can’t wait for Diablo III to go beta… Blizzard’s been saying “It’s ready, when it’s ready” stating that they are fixing out the bugs for millions to enjoy.
