There's a local guy who has a late model Murcielago roadster. If you've ever seen one on the road (versus on a podium at a car show) they are just sex on wheels. Rolling art. Plop one in the middle of suburbia and you have crowds around it everywhere you go.
I see this guy pretty frequently. He's always revving that V12 and hot rodding the thing around town. I'd probably do the same, but he does drive like an a-hole a good chunk of the time.
Now I wouldn't wish this upon anyone, but I am a believer in karma. I got a call from a friend today that went like this:
Him: "Are you anywhere near the mall?"
Me: "No - I'm at home. Why?"
Him: "Right in front of Sears there is some kind of exotic car in a hundred pieces."
Me: "Is it orange."
Him: "It was"
Me: "Does it say Murcielago under the doors?"
Him: "Yes"
I knew it had to be this guy. My bud told me it was a circus. At least 50 cars had pulled into the far end of the Sears parking lot to gawk at the spectacle. People were snapping pictures, on their phones (like he was). It was like a celebrity spotting or something. He overheard a woman he presumed to be the wife saying 'he said he didn't know what happened - he was only going 20-25 MPH'.
On the mall grounds - not even on some entrance ramp to the mall - but on the circular drive that goes around the mall, he hit a curb hard enough to rip the rear wheels from under it. He hit a tree hard enough to demolish both sides of the Lamborghini from behind the doors rearward. You can't tell from the pics, but my bud said the indentations were huge. He's an insurance adjuster - he figured the 1/4-million dollar car was a total.
I'm not sure what the point of this post is, but it's always fun to look at wrecked exotics. Especially when they are wrecked in such a stupid and conspicuous manner. I can't wait to read the story in the paper tomorrow.
These are cell phone pics (you can't tell, but this is the edge of the Sears parking lot. Sears is off to the left):
