Thread: Man Wins Lambo, Crashes It Right After!

http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/truck-driver-wins-lamborghini-crashes-hours-later-220724449.html

Thanks to a Utah convenience store's contest, Frito-Lay truck driver David Dopp won another set of wheels last Saturday: this lime-green, 631-hp Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, worth at least $200,000. Such an awesome car that will...oops, he already wrecked it.Just a few hours after getting the keys to the V-12 powered Italian supercar named for a famed Spanish fighting bull, Dopp took to the roads around his home in Santaquin, Utah. According to In Santaquin News, police were called about dusk after a witness spotted the all-wheel-drive Lambo bass-ackwards in a field, with skidmarks from where it left the road.
Dopp -- who had apparently already taken one call from the local police about takin' it easy before going off-road -- says he was going about 40 mph to 50 mph on a 35-mph road when he hit a patch of what he called black ice or gravel. The police report says the car went over a curb, off the road and 75 feet into the field, calling the accident "speed related."
The Murcielago is now bound for Las Vegas, where mechanics will calculate a repair estimate on the busted oil pan and damaged bumper. Dopp, who has insurance, says the day was "an emotional roller coaster." If you mess with a bull, don't be surprised when you get the horns.

That blows hard, what an idiot!

Dumb. I would have put a car cover on it and started talking to local car clubs and or dealerships about a trade for some cashola.

All of you who say you wouldn't have taken this thing out and drove the **** out of are liars. Flat out, you all would have.

This right here^

I can has job at this convenience store?

What a story , the dumb a$$

But than again , this will happen to me to when I'm done with my ride in 2020 lol

How about you get the whole story. Taxes on the car were $100k and he had to put his house up as collateral to even insure it. He totaled it for money, its called insurance fraud and he's probably going to get raped by the government for it. He could have instead donated it to chairty, had the taxes written off, and the charity could have sold it and profited, but instead this all went down...

Here's one of the recent findings about it. Man who crashed Lamborghini six hours after winning it asked Jay Leno to buy it
