    "Estimated to be worth half-a-million dollars" says the newscaster. Does the newscaster mean this is the value after the crash? Or before?

    I wonder how this particular Lexington Kentucky F50 came to be involved in a "drug sting"?

    Questions, questions...

    "Slick tires may have led to the crash" LMAO...They must be breathing their own ether if they believe that!

    Is it even possible for an F50 to go 40mph...?

    It is the car I used to own until last summer. The real story is quite incredible, one I am not at liberty to discuss since it is the subject of a federal case against the current owner.

    The latest twist is a sad turn....the car was being transferred to another area since a trial is upcoming, and there was a crash with a federal agent at the wheel.

    Jas Im sorry to hear that was your car. It must be painful to see something you cared about being treated this way.

    Sorry to hear that it was your ex. ;)

    Hopefully you'll be able to share the story one day.

    How weird is this!! That's the right rear wheel that Jas replaced because it was scuffed when he bought the car.

    re-read my earlier post....things have worked out fine for me. The current owner is not so lucky, and today's events are just a sad twist.
