Luxury sports cars in costly Japan pile-up

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16027006

A luxury sports car outing in Japan has ended in what may be one of the most expensive car crashes in history.

Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi.

No-one was seriously hurt, but the road was closed for six hours after the accident.

Media reports estimate the damaged cars are worth at least 300m yen ($3.85m; £2.46m) in total.

***N-O-O-O-O-O! NOT THE LAMBORGHINI!

5. I'd lose my drivers license quick.

So I guess I'll just have to keep driving my 1999 Mazda.
