WTH: Lamborghini Full of Flames on Roadside!

What a tragic sight to see—a Lamborghini aflame alongside the roadway! A biker happened upon this exotic car crash and began filming, capturing the burning supercar and the arrival of the fire trucks, who could have moved a bit faster, if you ask me! The bicyclist felt the same, and actually says, “No rush, boys, take your time, …huh.” during the clip (scroll down for video).

The fire truck pulls up behind the Lamborghini slowly, and when you expect men to burst forth wielding hoses, nothing happens.

One Lamborghini Seized in Vancouver Street Race Sold

In September of 2011, thirteen rambunctious Canadian teens raced supercars in an epic joyride, racing an impressive varitey of sports machines on public roadways. The illegal street race ended with laughably small fines and a list of impounds that could make Chuck Norris tear up (see list below)! Recently, one of the seized Lamborghini Gallardos from the event has been sold, and there are still a number of vehicles that are still in dispute.

Ferrari Fueled by E85 Unleashes 875 Prancing Horses!

A forward-thinking Ferrari aficionado has gone a bit green, not with a paint job, but with an E85-fueled Ferrari FF hatchback. The Ferrari FF was reportedly converted by a Norwegian aftermarket developer and boosts the usual 650 prancing horses up to an impressive 875! No word on if Ferrari approves of this mad science, or if the FF will now stand for ‘Flex Fuel’. End sarcasm.
