    Didn't they crash the first one years ago at the same track?

    @joneez helped you buy a new car: It's probably a solid $100 grand in damage. He might just go for it.

    @joneez helped you buy a new car: I bet you could clean it up and sell off a bunch of trim pieces on eBay. That'll pay for some go fast parts. And fire extinguishers.

    What are they doing!!?!?
    Why did they put out the fire?
    It was supposed to be for the Taoist Afterlife Race at Monterey next weekend.

    Now what are they going to race??

    [OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: I fixed your spelling of Monterey. I would appreciate if you would it do it for me in the future. Otherwise a great comment.]

    The way they painted the grandstand gives the subtle impression that they are filled with people even though they're empty. Or maybe it's just me.

    How do we know this is a real Porsche, and not just a Chinese copy? You would expect a Chinese copy to catch on fire.

    How sad, another supercar dead.


    This brings the average value-per-death up to $421,825. The median value is $276,000, and the mode is $227,000.


    Of the crashes reported on Jalopnik, 42.3077% are Ferraris, 26.9231% are Lamborghinis, 11.5385% are Porsches, 7.6923% are Chevrolets, while Audis, Bugattis, and McLarens each have 3.8426%.


    Italy still tops the country-of-origin charts with 73.0769% of the reported accidents, while Germany heads up second place with 15.3846%. USA takes bronze with 7.6923%, and Britain gets the best-of-the-rest award (last) with 3.8462%.


    These poor supercars died most often from crashing, 77.2727% of the time, while engine fire was the second leading cause with 31.8182%. Arson heads up the rear with 9.0909%.


    Bummer.

    @egoods: Nah, I like my job. It's not boring, necessarily, but I've only got 2 more weeks of this internship before I head to grad school. I've got work to do... just a lot of time to do it. You'll note that I was barely commenting at all last week, not even for COTD stuff, though I kept up with who won.

    @968TomR: funny thing that's what I'm doing right now as - taking a dull course on six sigma. Six Sigma is dull and I'm an accountant so that's saying something.
    Of course my training time is due to my car and my tree having an unplanned get together last night during a storm and not being able to get out of the driveway this morning.
