http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16027006 Probably one of the higher-dollar wrecks in world automotive history...

We won't say anything about the quality of the drivers...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Apparently one guy had a guardrail just jump right at him...
While it was a bad accident it can never come close to other wrecks that had over 150 cars involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-vehicle_collision#Major_pileups
All...those...wasted...cars! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Haha. I'm glad nobody got hurt!
To me, if someone had gotten seriously hurt, it would have lost comedic value. It's not like those cars aren't insured, right? Ferrari will be happy to make them some more, I'm sure.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The sad irony to me is that so much wealth lies in the hands of a few individuals, in many countries around the globe, being pissed away in precisely this manner. That amount of money would buy a lot of basic human needs. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Just saying..... (I used a naughty word, indicative of strong emotions attached.):bugeye: Personal wealth should be capped at a few million, tied to inflation of course, to be fair.

You see it in pictures. And I witness it first hand all too often. These geezers in their 007 license plates, porches, ordering 1000 dollar meals and eating nothing... it's so wasteful it's pitiful really. And call them on it and they will use their money to order something to drown away the sound. But that's how the world has always worked - gotta just understand the context in today's world and make it work for you.
Yes, rather mean and petty of me isn't it? Not all detached and Zen at all. I suppose it's jealousy...I was eyeballing old Porsches at one point...but I can't even afford a fixer-upper. My dream of doing 180 behind the wheel will probably never materialize.:bawl:
