WSJ had an interesting article "Honey I Wrecked the Porsche" about the increase in exotic cars and car wrecks -- June 15 2007, page W1: http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB1181...NTgxNjU1Wj.html
"Auto makers are turning out a new breed of supremely fast sports cars that sell for upwards of $250,000 and share many characteristics of purebred racecars. But as more of them hit the road, often in the hands of inexperienced drivers, a growing number are ending up wrapped around trees, smashed into guardrails or otherwise totaled in accidents.
In the past 18 months, drivers across the world have cracked up at least six rare $1 million Ferrari Enzos -- only 400 of which were built. In March, a California man rammed his $300,000 Lamborghini Murcielago into five parked cars; while in England, a 39-year-old driver caused an international stir among car enthusiasts by crashing a Bugatti Veyron -- an extremely rare $1.5 million turbocharged missile with a top speed of 253 miles per hour."
The article has some interesting photos, and a link to a site called Wrecked Exotics.com. See two of the interesting pic's below.
I didn't want to be macabre, but did look in the 968 section: http://www.wreckedexotics.com/968/968_130203_001.shtml
Hope none of these are yours... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
