    I think a cat flew into the right-rear wheel well at speed, causing localised suspension failure and leading to the crash.

    Another one bites the dust.

    With an estimated value of only $212,000 (per Jalopnik's estimates earlier in the year), this Gallardo drops the average reported supercar crash value to $414,054 with a standard deviation of $446,926.

    Total estimated loss from supercar deaths? $11,179,450.

    While Ferrari still tops the charts with most reported deaths, Lamborghini is not far behind, with 11 and 8 deaths, respectively. Ferrari holds 40.7407% of the 27 total reported accidents, and Lamborghini with 29.6296%.

    Italy is soaring at the top of the list, with 74.0741% of the reported accidents. Germany is a far second, with 14.8148%.

    Crashing is still the number one cause of supercar murders, with 66.6667% of the reported incidents.

    The Horn of Africa is in Northeast Africa. South Africa is the mouth/nose. That's right, I paid attention in 6th grade geography. After that, well, things got a little hazy.

    Looks like it's limited to some bumper covers. probably won't top $50,000. Might want to air freight it to England and have the ashtray emptied, just in case.

    It's still clever, if not well executed.
    I like the idea of parking assist. If I had a car with that it would cut my husbandly duties in half. Which is fine by me, I don't like driving downtown anyway. All I'd have left to worry about is killing spiders in the house.
