In one of those I can’t believe what just happened moments, video of a Lamborghini Aventador smashing into not one, but two cars on Sloan Street in the West of London.
It’s one thing when you crash a $40K car, but when it’s a $400K car that’s a whole other world of hurt. Based on the video it appears that everyone walked away from the crash.
Last Spring, several reports appeared about Dubai’s unreal assortment of police vehicles. Their ornamental fleet consisted of Dodge Chargers, Chevy Camaros, BMW 5 Series sedans and several exotics including a Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari Four. Well, the party continues in 2014 as they have just added a brand new Bugatti Veyron to this already insane stable.
This is so wrong for so many reasons, however, the most upsetting thing of all is, why would you paint police colours and add service lights to a $1.6 million Bugatti?
Honestly, the line more money than brains suits this perfectly. Shame on Dubai.
We can only imagine some of our Canadian men and women in blue are wishing they worked in Dubai about now…Since those rides sure beat driving around in an old Ford Crown Victoria…..
