Article: Honey, I Wrecked the Porsche

http://www.geocities.com/bonzohansen...ExoticsWSJ.htm

You guys will love this article in today’s WSJ. Some great notes:

Quote:
*To compound matters, it's tough to be inconspicuous when you damage a $150,000 automobile. After Mr. Aboubakare's accident, several passing motorists snapped pictures while one leaned out the window of his pickup truck and shouted: "What an idiot!"
LOL

Quote:
*… he has driven his 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster faster than 191 mph a number of times on freeways. …When you are in the car, it's so stable," he says. "It's such a controllable speed…. "I want to go to 200 mph,"
What a freaking idiot. I hope the state of Florida reads this & take his license.

Quote:
*Speed isn't always the culprit. Because of their odd dimensions and miniscule ground clearance, supercars have always been vulnerable to ...objects in the road. While driving his yellow Ferrari Enzo for only the third time, Ali Haas, a 51-year-old plastic surgeon from Florida, ran over a spool of wire on the road....the low-slung Ferrari was knocked airborne, breaking its grip on the road and sending it skidding into a guardrail.
Another great reason to not be stupid on public roads – unseen/expected debris/road conditions.

Hey everybody, it's good to have you on the Baba-too-da-ba-too-ba-ba-buh-doo-ga-ga-bop-a-dop
