what would the premium be on a 380,000 dollar car? Most who own them, don't pay for insurance, as they have enough cash to pay the liability....

I was at a friends house for a party one night several years back, and he had just bought a new viper. He had it delivered but afraid to drive it. He drove it around the block, and it scared him so badly he wouldn't drive it again...well, I had to take it for a drive... He was cautioning me on what had happened to him, as he really doesn't know how to drive a stick, and it had started to buck with him...lol... We took it easy in the beginning, but once clear of the neighborhood, he finally got to see what his new car would do. I have to tell ya, I love the old vipers, as there is no help,, it is all you and the HP....you light the tires in any of the first 3 gears anytime...So, I can understand someone getting into a car like this, and losing control if you aren't up to it...

Another Darwin Award winner !!!

Cops: Man tried to use $1 million bill at Walmart


LEXINGTON, N.C. - Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.
Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.
Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.
