Friends don't let friends drive $440K exotics...
 
http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newpho...0115_001.shtml

Car:
2005 Porsche Carrera GT
Description:
This is the worst Porsche Carrera GT wreck so far and the story behind it is very odd. A couple had just befriended the owner of the Porsche at a resort. The owner allowed the couple to "test" drive his car. The woman took the driver's seat and her boyfriend/husband sat in the passenger seat. Within 1 mile of starting the test drive, the woman lost control and crashed into a couple of trees, tearing the car in half. She suffered severe injuries while the man walked away from the accident. The moral of the story is: NEVER ALLOW A STRANGER TO DRIVE YOUR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR!!

Location:
Oostmarsum, The Netherlands

I've got dibs on those gorgeous brakes.

Francesco 01-23-2006 03:05 PM

that crash isnt that bad based on the sheer fact that a car like that is built to break in half on a high impact crash...

EXCEPT, what looks like a little damage actually totalled the car. Bent and cracked frame, and all the cooling tubes that run through the door are crushed as well. $350K damage. Who wants to drive up to Massachusetts for a parts car Carrera GT!!

Correct.

That's to seperate the cockpit from the engine bay, so that the engine doesn't come up at +100mph and crush the driver and passenger.

That crash is NOT that bad at the looks of it.

I feel like that sucks even worse!
The people in the original post obiviously messed up pretty bad, but the second one looks like it's a less terrible mistake, and that still totalled it!! At least he/she can make some cash off of all the parts still left... I'll take the brakes, seats, and wheels please (not that they fit because they have those fancy hubs.)
