Default A £2.46m Car Crash

Nobody was hurt...apart from a few bank accounts I suspect

Luxury sports cars in costly Japan pile-up

Quote:
A luxury sports car outing in Japan has ended in what may be one of the most expensive car crashes in history.
Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi.

They either have so much money to be able to buy one in the first place that it doesn't bother them or up to their necks in debt and paying for something that can't be repaired for a few years yet.

If it were me I'd be hoping for the former

I shed no tear for yuppies who can't drive and use public streets as their playground.
