"Thanks to a Utah convenience store's contest, Frito-Lay truck driver David Dopp won another set of wheels last Saturday: this lime-green, 631-hp Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, worth at least $200,000. Such an awesome car that will...oops, he already wrecked it.
Just a few hours after getting the keys to the V-12 powered Italian supercar named for a famed Spanish fighting bull, Dopp took to the roads around his home in Santaquin, Utah. According to In Santaquin News, police were called about dusk after a witness spotted the all-wheel-drive Lambo bass-ackwards in a field, with skidmarks from where it left the road.

Dopp -- who had apparently already taken one call from the local police about takin' it easy before going off-road -- says he was going about 40 mph to 50 mph on a 35-mph road when he hit a patch of what he called black ice or gravel. The police report says the car went over a curb, off the road and 75 feet into the field, calling the accident "speed related."

The Murcielago is now bound for Las Vegas, where mechanics will calculate a repair estimate on the busted oil pan and damaged bumper. Dopp, who has insurance, says the day was "an emotional roller coaster." If you mess with a bull, don't be surprised when you get the horns."

If I won that I would sell it and save the money, or keep it in the garage and not put any miles on it and sell it 5 to 10 years down the road.

idiot! lets drive my newly 200k sports car in an area that already has snow on the ground.

Bates · 12-21-2011, 12:42 PM

"I'm a truck driver. Used to driving big rigs and going slow. So when I got a 600HP+ Super Car I go super cited, forgetting about the snow still on the ground. Now my 200,000$ car is in the dirt somewhere off the road. Will you be ready when Mayhem strikes... Like me."

His insurance company must be ready to strangle someone. Only hours after getting the thing insured they will be shelling out thousands upon thousands of dollar to get the thing fixed.

Proven · 12-21-2011, 02:38 PM

I think just about everyone in here would of taken the car for a spin regardless of the weather/road conditions. If not, check your pants for a penis, there might not be one. Accidents happen! Even professional racers have them.

Me, I would of beat the crap out of the Tacky looking thing then sold it

I agree, he was just trying to enjoy it, it's better than just garaging it to me.

something that people overlook is the that the IRS considers the car income, so the taxes end up being more than most people make in a year. There would be almost no financial way that a 'joe schmo' could afford to keep the car.
