double what Herman says......about the jerks with the camera, and the people that post "funniest" lambo crash, pathetic.

I'm sure all the honda civic and Prius owners are quite entertained, but why just because it's an expensive exotic that people go HA-HA???............because those minimum wage LOSER Walmart shopper people will never even get .000001% towards getting one.


Ticketed........."But the videographer did capture his Pontiac wheelman"...........yup. Walmart crowd.

This newsbit was just a Lexus in a swimming pool, so I guess that's not so funny, so never mind.


Family wakes to find Lexus in their swimming pool | Offbeat | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News

Regardless of the car or it's price tag, somebody most likely got hurt in the wreck, and is having a bad bad day.........no accidents are funny.......unless it's a darwin award like a guy jumping off a 2 story roof onto a grass lawn like he's superman, then that's just stoooopid.

unless no on gets hurt. I suspect no one got hurt in the Lamborghini accident, and assuming he could afford the Lamborghini, he probably had enough insurance and/or money to cover the property damage.

The Lamborghini driver was revving his engine and trying to show off...that's why the crash is funny. It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, if you crash while acting like a douche, it's funny

Spoken like someone who's been caught on camera doing something stupid and expensive.

The shop I work for just fixed something just like this. A guy rented a Gallardo for a day and crashed it into two parked cars. The onboard gps recorded a very high rate of speed to zero and back up to speed again. Six months later and tens of thousands later the car is back on the road.

That was sad. The dumb-bumb driving was probably to absorbed into who was watching him.

Yes, you have my vote.

If this immature tard was a true car guy, he'd first be shocked and think about the waste or damage on a special machine.
Second he might be -a bit- worried for the people involved.
-AND STOPPED TO HELP perhaps and not laugh !!

All I could see and hear was some buttocks laughing at the misfortune of a fella that has a really and mostly unattainable car especially to this dork.

This idiot and his idiot companions relished in this misfortune.

I HATE humans like that !

Singapore tragic accident video - warning, graphic (Ferrari / Taxi) - YouTube


A fatal traffic accident in Singapore involving a Ferrari 599 GTO, a taxi and a motor cycle has left two dead and three seriously injured.

The crash took place in the early morning hours on Saturday May 12th at the corner of Rochor Road and Victoria Street. This intersection is said to be well known for accidents with six occuring with the past 12 days.

The driver of the Ferrari, identified as 31-year-old Chinese financial investor Ma Chi, was pronounced dead at the scene while his female passenger in her 20s sustained head injuries.

In the video the Ferrari is seen running a red light at high speed colliding into the taxi which hit a motorcycle. The strength of the impact caused the taxi's engine to be thrown 30 meters away from the vehicle.

The taxi driver identified as 52-year-old Mr Cheng Teck Hock has since been declared brain dead and a female passenger in her 20s died of her injuries when arrived at Singapore General Hospital.

We never have to worry about enough spare parts for Ferraris.

And this one is completely different from the OP. This is clearly not funny. Do you want to start a thread for tragic, unfortunate accidents, or maybe teen suicides?

Why don't you focus on the driver of the car, which is the point of the video. I could care less if the videographer was wearing a clown suit and blowing a horn. What did you want him to do, start crying? It was completely obvious that no one was hurt. The very reason MSN had it on their home page with humorous comments.

So how long had you had the Lamborghini before you crashed it?

I'm beginning to think that supercar makers should have a mandatory driver training course when someone buys one of their cars. Sure they do 0-60 in under 4 secs but it's the 40-100 times that are the killers. Idiots like the Lambo driver who cannot throttle steer a car with 500HP are dangerous.
