Looks like the common denominator in the majority of the wrecks was speed. Hard to believe that rich folks have the ability to be about idiot. I never thought that could occur. Oh well, I guess State Farm has deeeeeeeep pockets. |

Maverik gas station in Utah had a win a lambo contest. Part of the prize was learning how to drive it. Too bad he didn't have the lessons before he took possession. The car was worth more than 3 times his house, until he wrecked it. This wasn't that long ago. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=18580451 |

you don't want to know what that car cost him. probably a nice chunk of what his house is worth. you see if you win a prize like that you have to pay the "TAX" on it. Remember the old game show TV programs ? price is right etc. ? on those game shows all the time people got NO PRIZES AT ALL you see when they get home they get a TAX BILL from uncle sam (the show is not allowed to pay it since that payment would just be added to the prize value and they would be taxed on that too) so many sell their prizes for a fraction of what they are worth to pay the tax bill so they end up with absolutely nothing. yeah it sucks hard core.

The only good exotic car is one that is wrapped around a tree.

I see there are no Morgans on that list. Hand-built ash wood frame (same as a Louiville slugger). You order the car 3 years in advance and by the time it arrives on the docks it's already worth 3 times what you paid for it. (that was back in the 80s) They rebuild those cars, no matter how badly damaged. My advertising copywriting instructor at SVA bought one and he had us design an ad campaign around it. My graphic design instructor at Harvard already had one. He bragged about how he beat out the President of Ferrari for his particular car. After complaining to the CEO of Morgan, the Ferrari guy ended up having to wait 1 year and didn't get the color he wanted. Still, he was HAPPY he didn't have to wait 3 years. Artsy types seem to like that old-style form factor and the fact that it looked like and old car, but had a rocket for an engine! But for the price, I'm sure these guys didn't go racing wantonly. It's a different kind of crowd that drive Morgans. Probably keep them in the garage 99.9 percent of the time. Edited by BillHoo, Jan 23 2012, 04:12 PM.

Those Cars Are All Death Traps!! If You Ask Me I'd Always Say The Faster Car Is More Probable to Kill You In A Serious Accident. I Had My '90 4Dr. Hit 4 Times--2 Of My Accidents Were Friek Accidents Where One Of Them, I Was Rear Ended By a Chevy Astro Van Doing 55 MPH When She Hit My Geo Metro!! And I Drove (Limped-Mind You!) My Car Home!! Besides Not Being Able To Afford One, No Thank You. You Couldn't Get Me In One Of Those Cars. And I Can't Stand Those Land Rolovers, And The Mercedes Benzes And BMWs are Too Numerous. Nope, My GEO METRO Is The Safest Car I've Ever Owned. And The BEST!! |

The bad news is, all those cars were wrecked. The good news is, all the rest of that model car are worth more money, and there is now a surplus of used parts.
