The drivers were fine. Unfortunately in a separate accident an innocent driver was killed by a Gumballer in Macedonia who hit him head on at speeds north of 100 mph. The rest of the rally has been called off. Tragic but bound to happen sooner or later.

That should buff right out ... shame though.

That's a bit of an underestimate. I'm sure that it's a job for paintless dent removal.

I have to say, the first 15 of these had a sort of twisted fascination, but I'm seriously getting bothered by this now. And I don't care about the whole "every wrecked one makes mine more valuable" thing. People need to stop destroying these beautiful machines! The cars are too cool to be repeatedly wadded up by boneheads (but not "bonys" -- he's fine).

How do we start a "Save the GT!" fund? We can force every current or potential owner to take a driving test. If they fail -- GT driving privileges are revoked! :biggrin

We'll see this on E-Bay ! :lol :lol :lol
Because:

"Repairs are relatively simple for real bodyshop. Also search car-part.com for good used parts at half of these prices. Under $5000 you have what you need and weekends worth of work ."
"This car is for people that know what they are doing."
:lol :lol

Just wrap it in some duct tape, because we all know that duct tape fixes everything

kicking it and standing on it just seemed wrong... kind of like those people who rape corpses....

Driving a Ford GT/Enzo/Veyron on the Gumball is a bit of a....fantasy of mine (actually the one, single thing that I would do over anything else in the world), so this....makes me cry.

Ok, who on here was in the Gumball? There's like 3 GT's in the vid.

no surprise at all

No surprise at all. That idiot standing on the front tells the whole story. Stupid is as stupid does or however that goes.:confused :thumbsdow

It should be a felony and 10 year jail sentence for any pinhead who crashes one of these finely crafted FORD GTs! :thumbsdow

It should be a felony and 10 year jail sentence for any pinhead who crashes one of these finely crafted FORD GTs! :thumbsdow

That would be over 10% of GT owners.

 

[AtomicGT]

Well, I guess that will eventually increase the value of an undamaged car??? :lol

Great Another Gt gone... how am I going to find a Gt one day when I am ready to buy if people keep smashing them up Im 21 things are not looking good lol

I don't think expensive or rare cars should sit in a showroom all their lives but I think you should take care in driving them even when your pushing them to their limits.
