I think these crashes of exotic cars are more common than u think. Whether they are city type accidents or exceeding the limitations of your car, I can think of two friends who each had damage between $8-12k. Hence the need to check a car out for accident damage before purchase. When u think of the few square inches of tire exposure to the pavement especially on a wet road, caution is needed. :eek:

What's more important? A 6-figure exotic sports car or a cute little hedgehog?

$135,000 testarossa? was this article written in 1992?

Unlike that crashed Ferrari junk, a well set up 944 would have been able to swerve around the hedgehog, do a monkey roll, and drive away completely unscathed.

funny

I'll bet that the guy is just unskilled and inattentive, and blamed the first animal he could think of... after the crash.

That Sonic is a real bastard.

I was thinking the same thing myself!

monkey roll, is that what they call it when you scrape all the paint off the outside door handle when taking a sharp turn ;)

We used to have a pretty big gopher community on one end of the local track. At the end of the day it wasn't uncommon to see a couple of dozen roadkill on that end of the track. I also learned from track days that gopers are somewhat cannibalistic...
