Man crashes $200k prize car *Cue Nelson Muntz Laugh*
HA HA!
Thanks to a Utah convenience store’s contest, Frito-Lay truck driver David Dopp won another set of wheels last Saturday: this lime-green, 631-hp Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, worth at least $200,000. Such an awesome car that will…oops, he already wrecked 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.
The Germans have a word called Schadenfreude, which is pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. You can also say something like “Ich bin ein Berliner” which loosely translates to, “I am a Jelly Doughnut.” So 10 points for the the Germans.
Not too sure where I was going with this…somehow this article got away from me.

This had me so confused…headline says $200 prize car, so I thought to myself, what the hell kinda prize is a $200 car??? Then I realized someone missed a few zeros. Won’t say who, though.

That’s what you get for having a nice car. Drive a pile of shit like I do, and you won’t care when it gets stuck in a random field.
…ass.

I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing, especially if it really was black ice (although something tells me it wasn’t). I would have tried not to, but that’s a lot of horses in a car designed to push the limits. It’s ok though, lime green cars are ugly and deserve to be repainted into a more respectable color.
