Man wins new car / loses it same day!!

David Dopp, a truck-driver for Frito-Lay, became the official owner of a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. With 640 horsepower, a top speed of 205 mph, and the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds---THEN WRECKS IT!!!

Just a few hours after getting the keys to the V-12 powered Italian supercar named for a famed Spanish fighting bull, Dopp took to the roads around his home in Santaquin, Utah. According to In Santaquin News, police were called about dusk after a witness spotted the all-wheel-drive Lambo bass-ackwards in a field, with skidmarks from where it left the road.

Dopp -- who had apparently already taken one call from the local police about takin' it easy before going off-road -- says he was going about 40 mph to 50 mph on a 35-mph road when he hit a patch of what he called black ice or gravel. The police report says the car went over a curb, off the road and 75 feet into the field, calling the accident "speed related."

The Murcielago is now bound for Las Vegas, where mechanics will calculate a repair estimate on the busted oil pan and damaged bumper. Dopp, who has insurance, says the day was "an emotional roller coaster." If you mess with a bull, don't be surprised when you get the horns.

Easy come easy go

Seems those that don't deserve always end up winning. Those that know how to properly drive/treat a high performance car like this will never get to sit in the driver's seat. Sad, but true!

Unfortunately people see how easy it looks on TV and think they can all of a sudden control a car like this. It's not as easy as it looks. Oh, and him saying he was going 40-50 MPH...yeah, doubt that very much.

I woulda been using to get laid rather than speeding in a 35mph zone...

Well played Luke!

On the other hand, if you see the pieces of crap those Frito guys drive for work can you really blame him for taking the car out and trying to rip it up on the road?
