Owner Crashes $220,000 Lamborghin Hours After Buying - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

And abandons his Lamborghini. No cars face more peril from their new owners than Lamborghinis, which tends to be the first choice for those whose wealth exceeds their driving ability and common sense on their best days. The latest evidence in a never ending series of report this crash in California featuring a $220,000 Murcielago, ditched by its owner following a crash that totaled the car after just a few hours with the keys in hand — and now police want some answers.

The 2008 Murcielago was found alongside the freeway in La Jolla, Calif., late Monday night, with witnesses saying it had been speeding before swiping a median; a man and woman were seen running from the car. Police told local news stations that the Lamborghini still had its paperwork from the purchase from a dealership 80 miles away a few hours earlier, showing the name of the owner, but authorities have not said whether they believe the owner was driving at the time.

Even with all-wheel-drive, the 631-hp V-12 of a Murcielago takes time and practice to master, a point often lost on its new owners. According tp Fox, the driver when found could face a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge. Given that the Murcielago appears totaled, a misdemeanor may be the least of the new owner's problems, and serves as yet another hard-won diploma from Lamborghini driving school.

I'm guessing insurance may be a little low on their priority list

But we don't know the rest of the story. Could have been stolen. Could have been drug money bought. Could have been a little rich boy running from Mommy and Daddy. Could have been drunk and staying away until sober.

But mostly could have been bought for me! I'd give them a much more fun few hour ride and then I could keep the car

Cost would be the same.

You should watch what happens when people buy new motorcycles.
A few never leave the dealer lot before crashing.

How are new cars with AWD, traction control, better suspensions, etc etc ect 'hard to master'? A 427/SC Cobra. That's hard to mater. A Porsche 356 Carrera. That's hard to master

That's a soft-language term for "idiots smash the gas because they think they are in a PT Cruiser"

Hmm. Inconsistencies. Owner crashes lambo, but authorities can't determine if owner was driving. Bad reporting/editing there. So full of speculation, little facts. Story amounts to nothing.
