Default Most Expensive Wrecks

Received this in a few emails from friends over the last two weeks. Posting for those who haven't yet seen it.

Most Expensive Car Wrecks - the biggest loser?

#10.
Bugatti EB110 ... $500,000

This 1992 $500,000 super-exotic Bugatti EB110 was being driven by a mechanic as part of its annual checkup. He claims there was an oil slick on the road which caused him to lose control and crash into a pole. The owner of the Bugatti is a famous "feel good" guru named Emile Ratelband. Not sure how good he was feeling after this wreck.

#9. Pagani Zonda C12 S ... $650,000

Only 15 Zonda C12 S were ever built, but that didn't stop this owner from driving it like a mad hatter. He crashed this beauty in the wee morning hours while driving in Hong Kong.

#8. Mercedes
Benz SL 300 ... $950,000


The SL 300 "Gullwing" represents the very finest of Mercedes. The owner thought it would be a good idea to race this million dollar car on the streets of Mexico, at the annual "La Carrera Panamericana" race limited to classic cars produced before 1965.

#7. Jaguar XJ220 ... $1.1 Million


The XJ220 once held the record for highest top speed for a production car (217 mph).

#6. Ferrari Enzo ... $1.3 Million

The most famous Ferrari Enzo crash (shown above) was in Malibu, California in 2005, when the driver, "Fat Steven" Eriksson crashed the car at 196 mph.

#5. Bugatti Veyron ... $1.6 Million


The Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive production car in history. Only 300 are expected to be produced, and already two have crashed. Above is the first one. The driver thought it was okay to speed at 100 mph in the rain. He only had the car for one week.

#4. 1959 Ferrari 250 GT TDF ... $1.65 Million


This extremely rare classic car, the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT "Tour de France", crashed into a wall at the Shell Ferrari-Maserati Historic Challenge in 2003.

#3. Ferrari 250 GT Spyder ... $10.9 Million


The record price for a 1961 250 GT California Spyder at auction was set on May 18, 2008 when a black one was sold for $10,894,900. So what is one doing buried in the sand? The unlucky owner had it stored near the beach when a Hurricane hit.

#2. Ferrari 250 GTO ... $28.5 Million


The 1962-64 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most valuable car in the world when, in 2008, an anonymous English buyer bought a 250 GTO at auction for a record $28.5 million. The crash above represents a car worth more than the combined value of all 14 Enzos (see #6 above) involved in accidents. After a track event involving historic cars, the owner rammed into the back of another car after traffic slowed down.

#1. Tiger Wood's
Escalade... $55 million and rising


Final estimate to be determined by Elin Nordegren.

Hadn't see that one!

At least the insurance company won't have to write a check for the last one.

Still no Yellow cars in the South Bay Chuck.

Default Lambo disaster

We were working on a house a half block from a Honda dealer when a brand new Lambo pulls up in front. It is the owner of the dealership showing the new car to all the employees, everyone came out and looked and he gave a couple rides and then drove off.

The next morning in the newspaper there was a photo of a burned out garage with the Lambo inside. Apparently it sprung a gas leak in the engine compartment and everything was destroyed.

Insurance claim:
Total: 250,000.00
Lambo:230,000.00
Garage: 15,000.00
New Honda parked next to the Lambo 5,000.00
