It's the schadenfreude capital of the Internet--Gregg's WreckedExotics Web site, where you earn you 15 minutes of fame by splitting, crashing, overcooking, rear-ending or spinning out in the hundred-thousand-dollar machine of your choice.Here's the latest example of unskilled hands at work, this time on the Maserati GranTurismo. According to Gregg, it's the first known crash involving the newest Maserati. The $115,000 exotic was destroyed, he reports, after an accident in rural Ontario.
"The car sustained extensive damage to the rear, driver-side resulting in a bent axle. The poor owner probably had less than 1,500 miles on the odometer," he blogs.
No doubt there's a special hell for drivers who perform this kind of sheetmetal bending. What's the ideal punishment for handiwork like this? Tell us in a comment below.

July 24th, 2008 - 7:28 amHow about six years of driving a Tatra 603? Eight aircooled cylinders hung behind a pair of swing axles. Can you say oversteer? Oops, too late. Really, this whole rich guys and gals with more money than skills is endemic. Makes all the others more valuable.
