Exotic Cars

This kind of makes me want to slow down a little.

Interesting......the vast majority seem to have front end damage.

Yep! Many years ago a friend of a friend of mine was killed in his mid-life crisis new Vette. He didn't know how to handle the power and slammed head-on into a bridge column.

Years later a former neighbor crashed his new Vette into on coming traffic on a highway. He is survived by a wife and three kids.

Re: Exotic Cars

Confidence without skill is a killer. I try to never drive out of my comfort zone. I don't go as fast as some but the thrill is the same for me. Words to LIVE by.

Re: Exotic Cars

I have looked at that website: www.wreckedexotics.com ... many times. Since exotic cars don't get safety rated by any governmental organization its interesting to see how these upscale sports cars handle in crash situations. Albeit its not beneficial for the car owners. Notice that Ferrari Enzo whose back end is completely separated from the drivers compartment but the cabin is still in tact... amazing. I would have thought that car would have ripped apart like rice paper.
