Angry Porsche Carrera GT wrapped around a power pole

Posted on Elise Talk - one of only 1250 Porsche Carrera GTs ever made wrapped around a power pole.

What a waste.

A guy in my gym just bought a yellow one for $450,000. I wonder what this person's insurance rates will be like.

lol, how ironic...look at the "NO STANDING" sign too. He probably got a ticket for leaving his car unattended in a specified no standing zone.

I've seen Ferrari Enzo, Porsche GT, SLR totaled and you know that only the rich can afford these kind of cars.

So does it mean that expensive exotic cars are hard to drive or rich people can't drive??

It means that those cars shouldn't be driven to their full potential on public roads.
