Ferrari 550 (and Ford GT)

I read about a Ford GT crash that happened very close to where I live

Quote:

"Located in Kansas City (Mission Hills/Prairie Village) waited 2 years for this $200,000 car.

He had this car only two days and had only put 9 miles on it.

He decided to try out how fast it would go- and decided to punch the gas pedal. When he did… he lost traction on the rear wheel and lost control on a bridge next to golf hole #17 at a major country club (Mission Hills Country Club) which crosses a small creek.

He nailed a steel and concrete pole. (Warning the following pictures are graphic in nature, and might cause you to involuntarily vocalize such reactions as, “oh shit”, “holy fuck”, and “oh-my-god”)."

So I drove over to the site of theFord GT crash in Mission Hills to see if I could find a piece of the GT LOL. I didn't. But I drove around and took some pics of houses and stuff and a saw a 550! I chased it down the street. He seemed cool about me taking pics. He had a good looking milf in the car with him too who was really laughing about the whole thing. Damn what a car and what an amazing sound that thing made. Here are the pics.

With all the fuckin great roads and highways the US has, he chooses a stupid bridge in a country club......... What a dumbass :(

What a waste! :shock: The GT is gone :(

Why try this at small road? When you dont know the car? :roll: Good but painful lesson to him I guess :?

Oh man... If I were the owner of the GT, I'd kill myself :( And its also a misforune for the driver to have slammed into a bollard which allows it to sink very deep into the chassis.

Better luck next time!

Here are a few houses in Mission Hills to give everyone an idea, most people dont think Kansas City has anything but stock yards lol-

One of the houses right by where the Ford GT crashed.

Former baseball player George Brett's house. (that is a white Volvo XC90 parked in the drive lol ;))

http://images6.theimagehosting.com/site2.jpg
Billionare Ewing Kauffman's estate. He is now dead. (house was having some construction as you can see)

Oh yeah I was so excited about the 550 I forgot I also saw and got a pic of this RR too-

I'm going to have to go drive around Mission Hills more often for auto poperotzi opertunities!

Isn't this a repost? ;P ;)

LOL, sneak plan to try and get a GT piece!

BTW, remember you can't post pics wider than 800 pixels directly with img tags, and actually even the smallest ones are 816 in here :P
