It happens like clockwork, the weather warms in the northern hemisphere and everyone hauls out dusty super cars, giddily hot-rodding them and inevitably planting a couple into something hard, add youthful stupidity to the mix and it's practically guaranteed. The two teenage sons of Russian bankers were lighting up Moscow streets at speeds topping 125 MPH when they lost control and smashed into the back end of a Range Rover. There were surprisingly no serious injuries in the Rover and no bystanders were hurt, but the two had to be cut from the car and taken to an area hospital where they're expected to make a full recovery. And by full recovery we mean learn nothing, guilt their dad's into buying even more exotic cars, and then smash those up during drunken, late-night escapades. [KP.ru (translated), English Russia]

The group of hoon-igans reportedly rented the cars for just under $10,000 apiece from Pearl Rentals of Wembley. The Sun claims the story is as follows:

"a sharp-suited group of Asian-looking men...wrecked a Ferrari on Saturday after smashing into another of the cars. The Lamborghini — one of three rented — was totaled when it hit a tree in Bridgnorth, Shrops, on Sunday."

Amid all the mashed-up metal, supposedly an Audi R8 escaped unscathed. New luxury triumphs again, apparently.

We're also told UK cops are still trying to find the drivers and other accomplices. So, if you're in the UK and you spot a group of "Asian-looking men" wearing ruffled, yet still quite sharp, suits walking down the side of the road. Be sure to call your local constable.
