Post OUCH! a whole new meaning to "slope nose"

Just came across this site <a href="http://www.wreckedexotics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.wreckedexotics.com/</a>



Check out all the F355 photos - amazing number of wrecks considering the relatively low production volume.

who paints a Lambo Green. Those pictures just goes to show that just because you can afford them doesn't mean that you can drive them.

i'm glad no one is posting those gross wrecks when the person's been decapitated. they are really disgusting and turn my stomach. yuck.

on a happy note, when people wreck thier p-cars, it allows people who don't wreck they're cars better access to parts. also, those ferraris- you know that they will rebuild those things regardless.

I'm actually considering that color with silver racing stripes for my gt40 replica. <img src="graemlins/icon107.gif" border="0" alt="[icon107]" /> Its not pretty but it'll definatley turn heads. Most likley I'll go with gulf racing colors though.

What kit are you using to build you GT40?

I have seen 911 turbos painted in that green and I just don't understand what the thinking is behind the color. Oh well I can't afford either car so it doesn't really matter what I think.

The roof on the 951 looked like it held up pretty good. I feel a little safer racing around in my car now. You don't see many of them that have been rolled. Most people hit things or things hit them.
