    Default stupid co drivers(f40 wreck)




    I've been talking quite a bit to the owner since this happened. He was traveling westbound on 6th avenue just before going under the federal blvd overpass. he said a blue minivan didn't look when it was changing lanes and clipped the right front nose of the f40. The owner of the f40 slammed on the brakes, he spun out, and the van drive fled the scene... He believes it was a medium sized japanese van like a nissan quest or something like that. Blue in color with light blue/gray bumpers. Shouldn't have much damage on it, but should have red paint rubbed on the bumper. i've been trying to look at webcam/traffic cameras of this stretch of road, which i have found, i just don't know how to look at it at a certain time range.. i even emailed the people who manage the cameras asking if they can give me the video or pictures from the time this happened yesterday. owner thinks none of the important stuff was touched and wants to get replacement parts for it to get it back out on the road.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Ryan (the owner) is an awesome guy and one of the few people with the means to own one of those unicorns that actually drives the hell out of it. I have met him numerous times at car meets and he is absolutely good people. I feel terrible that this happened,

    Never met the owner but i've seen the car before at cars and coffee. I know several people that know him, and he does not drive stupid. He respects the multiple exotics that he owns, what really sucks is he just sank a lot of money (for us poor folks) into the engine of the car.

    Friend of mine says there is no frame, transmission or engine damage, so it will be built.
