Lima, Peru, Peru
during a recent trip to venezuela, i saw a boss 302 (which was a restored real one, or an almost perfect perfect replica, down to the spoilers, mirrors, emblems) parked in the garage of a house in a middle-class neighborhood (the house itself was worth less than $50,000).

(coolstorybro)
i knocked the window, talked to the owner, who did not want to sell.
i spent the next 2 nights thinking about the car. called another time, guy said he would think about taking $12,000 for the car....
then i talked to a lawyer on how i could bring the car to peru. export laws are incredibly tough, and he told me i´d have to find a close venezuelan friend (or my sister who is venezuelan) to buy the car for me and keep it garaged for a year, while the mininum-time required by law to export went by... and then getting papers signed by jesus himself in order to ship it to Peru. my dreams were shattered.

a guy i know found, a year ago, a numbers matching (although unrestored) 1969 hemi charger in venezuela. he avoided the red tape by bribing some cops and officials.... but still, it took him like 6 months to get the car shipped to Peru, and ended up spending twice what he paid for the car....

dumb bitch

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.
Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.
The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.
An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.
It is estimated the crash will cost more than £40,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.
