Fleet of Ferraris ruined in Japan sportscar pileup

An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup � smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together.

Police say they believe the accident Sunday was touched off when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the median barrier. He spun across the freeway, and the other cars collided while trying to avoid hitting his car.

------------------

NTV quoted the driver of one of the tow trucks brought in to clear the scene as saying it was the most expensive crash site he had ever seen.

--------------------------

The luxury cars were all in one place because they were being driven by a group of automobile enthusiasts on their way to nearby Hiroshima.

2. That's what I call wealth...

when you and your buddies can afford to trash a fleet of Ferraris (and throw in a Lambo and two Mercs for good measure).

6. "likely worth more than 1 million together"?

Try "definitely worth a lot more than 1 million together."

Sucks. These guys should learn how to drive first.
