Obviously driven by dilettantes.

Fleet of Ferraris Ruined in Sports Car Freeway Pileup in Japan

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/12/05/fleet-ferraris-ruined-in-sports-car-freeway-pileup-in-japan/?test=latestnews (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/12/05/fleet-ferraris-ruined-in-sports-car-freeway-pileup-in-japan/?test=latestnews)

FTA: "TOKYO –  An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup -- smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together."
<snip>
Even a used Ferrari in Japan can fetch $100,000 or more, meaning the total damage may be $1 million or more.

Police declined to comment on the total amount of damage, but said some of the vehicles were beyond repair.

On the 5th of December Santa piled up,
8 f*cked Ferrari's
2 mangled Merc's
1 lame Lamborghini
And a Pri-us in the ditch.

Merry Christmas !

On a side note, one of the guys I used to work with just bought a used Lamborghini "Just because." 

Of course he's single, no kids, pays next to nothing in rent and spends 9 months out of the year deployed to the Middle East collecting per diem tax free since he's a contractor.

I have tried to get into those jobs just for the cash they throw at you. I would love to go over there, even to Iraq (which I'm told smells like ass). Anyone hiring? ? ? ? ? ?

He works for Grumman.  They are pretty much always looking for somebody with experience for different platforms.  He's on Global Hawk, and they just sent out some Fire Scout guys to the boat for a while.

no smog crap or electronics thats why. 

and the only reason why.


Let me put it too you this way, a very good friend of mine owns a shop that does nothing but japanese cars, he drives a ford truck and his wife drives a mustang.

That should pretty much say it all right there.
