Yes, I have. I have spent thousands of miles, and probably about a years worth of daily driving, behind the wheel of a few different Diablos and an LM-002. It depends on where you divide the line. I like to call them either Italian Lambos or Audi-Lambos. Italian Lambos being anything that was '01 Diablo 6.0 and prior, and Audi-Lambos being Gallardo and Murcielago primarily.
The real Italian Lambos are very beautiful, have a personality, and are much less reliable. These are the ones you are afraid to take out because you have no idea what will happen. The ones where the hydraulic suspension lift for the front may or may not work, and the windows may just decide they do not feel like going up today. Kind of like dating a supermodel with a severe drug habit and taking her on a vacation to Las Vegas. Hold on!! It will be one unpredictable ride, and you will be lucky to survive it!
The Audi-Lambos are (as you can tell by their name) the more refined cars that were produced when the Germans took over. These cars are much more driver friendly in terms of reliability and ease of use. I actually had this conversation today with someone that I would be more than happy to drive a Gallardo for 50,000 miles and expect it to hold up. The slight amount of flair the Germans took away in their design process (most evident on the interior), is more than made up by them building a much better overall car. I have a friend with over 40,000 miles and lots of track time on his Gallardo and the car is darn near bulletproof.
You have to pick your battles, and bring your wallet.
