Fireworks at the Dragstrip!

By John Coyle

First off, am I the only one that thinks the guys fighting this fire should be wearing more than shorts and t-shirts? If there’s a bottle of nitrous in a burning car, nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen, and this situation could have resulted in an explosion. Another thing? Why the hell didn’t the driver shut the motor down before he bailed? That seems like a no-brainer to me. Anyway, while there are some pretty big fireballs—at one point it gets so bright you can barely see anything in the frame—it doesn’t look like anyone got away with anything worse than some singed eyebrows.

FBI Agent Wrecks Seized Ferrari F50

This particular accident occurred while an FBI Agent was taking the seized super car to storage and it’s getting blamed on “bald tires.” Well, you go ahead and blame it on the tires. I’ll blame it on the V12 and relatively inexperienced driver. Lots of damage was done, so hopefully the FBI is able to prosecute the drug dealer that formerly owned it, or they’ll have a pretty hefty bill on their hands.

But the story doesn’t end there—not for me. It happened in Lexington, KY, which is where I live. I’ve met the drug dealer that owned this car several times and he seemed like a really nice guy. I always wondered why he left it running when he went into Kroger. Via WreckedExotics
