I cant believe that an undamaged pole could do so much damage.

What a crying shame

These cars need to come with a performance education track day in the cost, they must be too much for the average driver to handle.

I wonder if car manufactures will learn by seeing that their customers keeping smashing up their cars so early on and give them (advanced) driver training in the price. Different if the car is hit by a DUI going through a redlight but 2 days and 9 miles...

Old news. was posted on Corner carvers some time ago.

One of the comments questioned if perhaps one of the dealer lackeys got a little exuberant with the tyre shine.....

What I want to know is how someone can own a Ford GT afor two days and only have driven 9 miles? In two days it would be due for first service in my hands.

Obviously not used to it, too quick, didn't know what to do so he aimed at the pole....pretty logical to me..... :dr_Evil:

All these bloody yanks, that can't keep their expensive machines on the road. I'm sure a few of us Aussies would love a few to look after.... :

Hmmm, something familiar about all this...

Too much money, no driving skill, stuffs it into an immoveable object doing $$$$$$$$$$$$$ of damage in the first handful of miles...

OHH, now I remember...

That's 90% of the Targa Tasmania field!!!

Team 'Rich Doctors and Lawyers' racing all the way...

That is the second GT to be crunched. Just goes to show that having a lot of money can't buy you everything.

Hate to say it there's been about 6 written off so far.
1 written off being stolen from a dealership (unsure of colour)
The Black with no stripes one (that may have been hit by another car ) in NZ
The Black with no stripes in this thread (Perhaps the black ones with no stripes are defective?)

This red one
http://www.telegram.com/apps/pbcs.dl...73235145292613

And i've seen pics of at least 2 others wadded into the scenery

It would be due for it's second and third back to back in my hands. Just goes to show, no matter how much money you have, it doesn't make you any smarter of a person
