Actually, it looks like he was trying to swerve to avoid a rear end collision with the pitifully slow Stradale.

Yes, that happened about a mile from my house in Oakbrook, IL. The car is from Luxury Motors and one of the salesman was talking on the phone, hit a curb, then a fire hydrant and the car flipped. It was a gt2. It happened a few days ago. The driver was actually arrested for reckless driving. Dan

Reckless driving??? Holy ****.

Like I said, one less GT2 to flood the market.

Luxury motors will probably band aid the car together and resell it!! BTW, was the driver alright?

Lou, sadly to say your right. They will probably still sell it. It would have been a nice car though, an 02 1k miles listed for $136k. The driver was actually fine. The funny part about it is the salesmen from luxury motors came over and got in a fight with the cops and from what i heard multiple people from LM were arrested. crazy

Most car dealerships let salesman drive any car they want. At least luxury motors does.

I could see that at a Hyundai dealer. And I could see maybe the Sales Manager or GM driving a car off the lot. I just don't if I'd let a regular sales guy use a GT2 as a daily driver.

Every time something like this happens, it's just one less GT2, which I guess stabilizes the value of mine.

No that's cold Tyson!!!

Too bad no one thought of posting the picture and having a caption contest with a 6-speed license frame as the prize.
