    A brand new Porsche 911 (996) Trubo crashed in Taiwan today and dig this, the headline of the news is "SO WHAT I'M RICH."

    According to the news: "……..The owner of this Porsche was showing off to his friend by driving recklessly along the mountain road at the speed of over 110mph, he overturned the car and crashed; walked away with minor injury…………….. The cost of this car in Taiwan is USD $220,000.00, and the owner plans to spend USD $100,000.00 to fix……..."


    I say "Poor Car!" if you ask me.

    Any thoughts on this?

    The driver might be probably 5' 1", if so, good escape.

    I would think so, I am pretty sure a 6 foot guy couldnt get out of that one alive.

    Well, money can't pay to replace a dead passenger, pedestrian or occupants of other vehicles.
