$1,000,000 FERRARI


Ferrari hits a power post at 200 mph.....

The driver only had some bruising (seat belt) and 2 small cuts.

-car loss - $1 Million bucks!
-waiting list for a new one - 2 years;
-when can I drive Dad's car again - nuclear 1/2 life;
-when will I not be grounded & see the light of day - same day the polar ice caps melt
-still alive....  Priceless

Car only had 9 miles on it!  One mile of it was during the wreck.

I think the pictures came from a news story out of California about some celebrity with more money than brains.

If im not mistaken that is the Ferrari that was involved in the "Drunk" foriegner embezzeler scam.  Not from a kid borrowing it..  165mph in cali with a mystery driver and a mystery race....  The guy just got time for it..

Kebo, your completely right on that one.  The guy just plea bargined on the charges of embezzeling them (he had 2), due to he imported them to the USA from Europe, and then stopped making payments on them.  They were both leased.  Heck of an accident to walk away from, aint it?
