Ferrari Mailing List: Re: (NFC) Lamborghini crash

[Charles Perry (charles]

If you read the comments below the TMZ article, I think one of those
guys got it right:

"Thanks to this terrible economy, people are abandoning horses they can
no longer afford, purposely walking away from expensive homes, and
now.... crashing cars to get the insurance payouts to settle the loan."

Not that it's impossible to do something stupid in so powerful a car on
residential type streets, but I think more of this is coming. If you had
a 6 month old F430 Spider that you had paid $250k for and was now worth
$130k on the secondary market, that might be a fairly strong motivation
to have, as I believe Clyde calls it, an unexpected terrain contact.

You mean 30th anniversary....SE30 Diablo ;)

25th was Countach, no special colors.

Funny thing is I was going to post this video here from youtube, then
decided not to. Then the owner asked the guy to take the video down, and
now TMZ's got it.....f'ed up!!!

Once it's in TMZ's hands, it's already slanted to demonize the people in
the video, sadly. But in this case it might be deserved.

Guys, what is with all these 4wd Lambos getting wrecked?.....They say
they put 4wd to save their drivers and still these cars getting smashed
to pieces. I've seen two other videos were these cars spun out on the
street at not a super high rate of speed.....mind boggling.

Let's keep this to a 4wd discussion...no need for this to be a "marque
attack". :)
