exotic wrecks

Wrecked an expensive car lately?

I subscribe to a site called: Wrecked Exotics. They send out a fistful of pictures each week.

These are fancy, expensive cars. Some as cheap as a new Corvette, but some are in the million dollar bracket.

And they are all wrecked. Sometimes lavishly so.

There is a very brief explanation with each photograph. More often than not the owner loaned the car to a young friend, who, while driving at high speed “lost control.” Speed is almost always mentioned.

Sometimes the borrower walks away and sometimes they don't.

Another common scenario is the one where someone “test drives” the car. Sometimes it is being delivered to the owner, and sometimes the owner purchased the car earlier, but not very much.

These are not regular cars, like the rest of us drive. Being spendy, for one thing, includes the ability to go extremely fast in extremely short periods of time. The temptation abounds. Why, logic goes, should you drive at 55 or 60 when this car can easily do 200?

I know it is sick humor and I know I am demented to find any of it entertaining, but I do on both counts!
