It was insured, right?
Right, because that's what most folks would be likely to do.

Here, have this amazing extra fast lamborghini!

Nah, no thanks.

Sure, you're given a swimsuit model to do with what you will, and you decide that she's too much to handle, so you give her a quick kiss, pat on the butt, and go looking for a stud to take her off of your hands.

I'd say that's a pretty valid comparison. If I was given an F1 car, a 427 cobra, a Lamborghini, , you can bet your rear that I'd be driving it. I'd like to think that I'd be more cautious than this guy.
