    If this guy was younger he'd have a good career potential as a crash test dummy... #carcrashes

    @elborro44: Yeah, that truly hurts. I hope that at least it wasn't an SS. This guy should be put down - but I guess he'll take care of that hisself. #carcrashes

    To protect the precious carpet in each of his 60 rare and exotic sports cars, Monty invested in the finest in floormat technology from the far east. Unfortunately, zip ties were available only in a package of 50. #carcrashes

    I remember reading somewhere a while back that there was only one functioning Ford Indigo ever made (the other was a non-working concept), and that it was destroyed by its owner.

    I didn't know it was this guy...

    I'm in the school of thought where cars should be driven, and I'm honestly not too saddened if a Veyron is driven into a lake or another modern Ferrari is smashed. But I do wince when the only car in existence is extinguished from the face of this earth.

    Jeez, this guy's the Viva La Bam! of the automotive world. Now I just think he's taking the piss.

    An Indigo? Did he go off the bridge on the Amazon track in NFS2? #carcrashes

    From Wrecked Exotics: "Apparently, he has partial ownership of an insurance company. Not sure if he can even get insurance from his own company, but when you're rich enough to wreck several exotic cars, it doesn't really matter anyway."

    Now I hate this guy even more. #carcrashes

    If he doesn't wreck them, they are assets, and he won't get the $300 million. #carcrashes

    wait... how did he wreck the indigo?

    from wikipedia: "Only two examples were built, and only 1 was actually functional. It took Ford only six months from the original computer designs to the finished show car. The functional concept is still owned by Ford. The non-functioning show car was auctioned."

    he wrecked a non-functioning show car... thats tallent #carcrashes

    @TwoLaneBlackTop: Yeah, you probably are the only one.

    Cars like this should be enjoyed, but should also be left for others to enjoy when it comes time to go that great big garage in the sky.

    This guy is a douchebag. #carcrashes

    Why is this man still alive?

    Not because of the wrecks, but because of the Save The Exotics movement.

    Wait, they went the way of the Pontiac 6000. #carcrashes

    @skaycog: Thank you!

    Not to seem like a Ageist, (but I am) after a certain point in life when you are no longer useful to society then we are wasting money to keep you alive. Granted the family would be sad but think of the whole.
