    Salesman or dealershpi manager lost it around a corner. He was doing 30mph but it was rainy. You don't crash at 120mph and not do any damage ;)

    That sounds about right. The Carrera GT gets loose really easily. When I got a ride in one wet spots on the road caused a bit of wheelspin. Even though it appears there is not much damage, he probably cracked the front bumper which is carbon fiber, and possibly the carbon under panels. Each of those parts are a little over $10,000 a piece.

    All the pics of the accident show the road being dry. I'm thinking faster than 30

    The car was being transported from CA to VA Beach. The transport driver or someone from the company took it for a spin in Richmond. That article was on a BBC web site for some reason. They actually convicted him by using DNA from his blood left on the airbag after he lost it and hit a sign.
