This guy had to rush from Georgia to Illinois to save a rare 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV.

The Lamborghini Diablo is rare to begin with, and the Diablo SV is even rarer.

In a way, this guy did a service to the automotive world.

But it wasn’t easy, and the car barely made it.

What makes this Diablo SV even more special

Ed Bolian, co-founder of VINWiki, was trying to track down a rare 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV that was famously featured in (and sold through) the Victoria’s Secret Christmas catalog that year.

Bolian had been searching for this unique car for years, but it had essentially disappeared after being sold at auction in 2011, it had vanished from public records with no registration or insurance updates for 14 years.

Then, much later and with the help of a guy whose nickname is ‘barn find king’, the 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV was eventually tracked down in 2025.

But there was a problem, mainly because this Lambo was months or maybe weeks away from becoming a write-off.

The Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini barely survived a tornado

The Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini Diablo SV was eventually located in private airport hangar in small town in Illinois about one hour away from Chicago.

So far, so normal.

Bolian and his team were expecting rust, dust, saggy tires – the usual.

But then, in June 2026, a series of tornadoes struck this town and the exact hangar where the Lamborghini had sat for 14 years was destroyed in the storm.

The Lambo was bruised and damaged but, amazingly, it was still in one piece.

Bolian was able to find the car and buy it, and then he managed to bring it back to Georgia to restore it.

At the time of writing, the Victoria’s Secret Lambo is in great shape.

But a few more weeks, or maybe even days, of hesitation could’ve sealad its fate.

SOLON, IOWA — As holiday weekend crowds head to Iowa lakes and rivers, state and national law enforcement agencies are urging boaters to make safety a priority — especially when it comes to alcohol and drugs on the water.

The push is part of Operation Dry Water, a national awareness campaign aimed at deterring impaired boating, reducing alcohol and drug-related incidents, and enforcing Iowa’s boating while intoxicated laws.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources officials say the holiday weekend is a time when they often see a spike in enforcement activity. Last year, the Iowa DNR reported interacting with more than 1,200 vessels and issued 382 citations.

Rachel Allis, the Iowa DNR’s boating education coordinator, said conditions on the water can intensify impairment.

“We don’t realize the effect the sun, water, the waves have. Simply stated, you can get dehydrated much quicker when you’re out on your boats,” Allis said. “So, all of those compounds with medication and everything else, so impaired drivers are really what we’re on the lookout for and what we’re concerned for. Nationally, about a third of all incidents occur with an impaired driver.”

At Lake Macbride State Park, boaters and paddlers said they’re also taking steps to avoid trouble on busy waterways.

“All of us love to be out here in nature and Macbride is so pretty. So, it’s just a good togetherness function,” said Angela Ranaud, who was kayaking during the holiday weekend. “Fisherman, we try to stay away from them, so we don’t interfere their catching. We try to stay away from the wakes; they tend to capsize. Other than that kayaks a pretty low danger type of sport, so we just like to be out in the water.”

Corey Scott, a holiday boater at Lake Macbride, said the lake’s horsepower restriction helps keep speeds down between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but he still watches closely for smaller craft and stressed the importance of sober operation.

“Macbride is nice and easy, 9.9 horsepower between Memorial Day and Labor Day,” Scott said. “So, that’s the nice part you don’t have people speeding up and down and everywhere, so really the only thing to look out for is anybody on paddleboats, kayaks, things like that. Again, out here people say well you’re only going 9.9 so it’s not ‘hey you can have a few beers’ and stuff like that; but that’s the main thing to be aware of. Making sure you have a sober driver and just be aware of your surroundings.”
