high performance car -- low performance driver

poor 360 modena

from what I understand, the driver of this car floored it 200kph+ and unexpectantly went flying out of control

it flipped once and rolled a few times.

car was brand new and owner only had it for 4 days. only 150km on the odometer. when the cops and paramedics came, he was breathalized and was way over the legal limit, so insurance didnt cover it. thx 400,000 down the drain.

in the 3rd pic with the paramedic checking that guy... hes prolly examining to see if he is a RETARD :P

I wouldn't feel too bad for the driver... If he can afford a Modena... I'm guessing he has BANK and can afford another one! Maybe this time he'll have it for longer than 4 days!

That's what that stupid f*** gets. If you drink and drive your Ferrari should be totaled. That's what I hate about people who drink and drive... Not enough of them die in the accident.

No, it's not near ugly enough. I think the Enzo falls in the same category as the Pontiac Assteck.

He looks like Rainman; Here's his last car

here's his last car... he had it for couple hours with only 8 km on the dial.

sad, but hey, when u look like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman, u can make big bucks as an impersonator, screaming "DEFINITELY 3 hundred, 3 hundred 46 toothpicks!"

what a dork...

oh and check out this site -- sad what some people do these cars...

I think that guy wrecked a Fiero with a Lamboghini kit on it. Is it just me or does that looks a little too short?

fiero?

i've done the measurements and calculations doug, and it looks like it's a ford festiva, the predecessor to the acclaimed yugo and prague cars dressed up as a lambo.

sad indeed. LOL. damn, i'm friggin bored and tired at work...
