Do you think this is Maxim1? Lambo wrecked in Moscow!

I hope this isn't our old buddy Maxim1. Seems like it's right up his alley....

Lamborghini Obliterated In Fiery Multi-Vehicle Moscow Crash

If you don't know who "maxim1" is....

How many cars are you crashed in this year?(+photo!)

Apparently, the driver, one 22-year-old Yuri was driving at three times the speed limit, blasting through the streets at 124 MPH while his new 16-year-old friend Christian was, um, "entertaining" him, causing Yuri to lose control, hit the Civic and a lost wheel punctured the gas tank of the Ford Mondeo which became engulfed in flames and smashed in a taxi cab. Miraculously nobody died in the incident, though apparently passenger Christian suffered a serious injury when his head hit the steering wheel. Something tells us this was not what young Christian had in mind when he asked Yuri for a ride.
That's gold!

Well, at least those Lamborghinis seem to hold up better in crashes than that Humpty Dumpty junk from Maranello.

Didn't you read Maxime's posts?
That's just what they do in Russia.

Didn't someone find Maxim on another discussion board?

I seem to remember he won the 2008 Pelican jacka$$ of the year award?

Still not sure that he is real. I offered to meet him in Moscow when I was based there and he never would do it, so "Maxim" might just be a figment of someones silly mind.
