The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

A millionaire luxury car owner wrecked his $750,000 Porsche Mirage GT supercar while speeding around the deserted streets of Manhattan while allegedly high on drugs.

Benjamin Chen, 33, lost control of the ultra-rare super car at 7.30 am on Tuesday and plowed into a parked car.

Several stunned New Yorkers looked on as Chen tried to drive the car away despite heavy damage to the body and tires.

Ford Mustangs have developed a bit of a meme-tastic reputation over the last few years, thanks to drivers speeding out of cars and coffee meetups and crashing. It's a case of those owners pushing their cars past their own abilities. Unfortunately, a recent incident on Angeles Crest Highway in California won't help shake the stereotype. A week ago, the driver of a Grabber Blue Mustang Boss 302 decided to ignore shelter-in-place orders and go for a drive in the canyons—sadly, they wound up sending their car, themselves, and a passenger 400 feet down a steep embankment.

If you haven't driven Angeles Crest Highway it should be on your bucket list.

The Thunderbird made its debut at the 1954 Detroit Auto Show and went on sale later that year as a 1955 model.

I was at the Worlds Fair as a spry 8 year old. :) Totally captivated by the GM Futurama ride!

Yes. You could easily spend all day (or a week) just going in and out of a driveway.

Or - the "city course". Was a small series of tight twists and turns laid out on an asphalt pad. You would negotiate these tight turns lock-to-lock at a crawl. All day, every day, until the test cycle was complete.

I think you would have liked "rock cycles"*. You've probably done a few and not known that's what they were!

K

*Rock Cycles = smash the accelerator to the floor. Put vehicle in drive, then reverse, drive, reverse for a predetermined number of hits.

What color do we think this is? it does not look like Rally, Fathom or Frost.

Also, what's with the body color painted wheels again? Pretty sure hubcaped cars had black painted rims. Dog dish wheels were painted body color, right?
