Lamborghini crash in Santa Monica

Probably more damage to the Lambo than to all the other cars combined. I'd hate to be one of those owners when they go to work and find their car all messed up.

http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_060100936.html

(CBS) SANTA MONICA, Calif. A Lamborghini crashed into five parked cars in Santa Monica Thursday, and the driver was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.

The accident at Ocean Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard occurred about 2:30 a.m., Santa Monica police Sgt. Shane Talbot said.

David August Johnson and a male passenger in the Italian sports car were taken to a hospital to be checked out, but neither appeared to be seriously injured, Talbot said.

A woman who lives near the intersection said she heard a high-powered car going up and down the street shortly before the wreck.

The silver-colored Lamborghini, which is valued at approximately $300,000, appeared to be totaled, and at least three of the parked cars were heavily damaged.

Lamborghinis, most of which are powered by a V-12 engine, are among the most powerful and expensive street-legal vehicles made.

Thank god I never see idiots in exotics around here. I see plenty (relatively speaking) of exotics, but the people driving them are clearly 40+ and mature enough.

not to justify the dumbass's actions but lambo's (both Murci's minus the LP640s and the Gallardos) are very easy to drive fast.. limits are very high, very stable with AWD even in the snow and rain and not snappy like the ferraris.

Obviously, he's the exception to that rule

I think the report also said that he was already on probation for drunk driving...apparently he didn't learn his lesson the first time. At least no one was killed.
