Massive Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes & . . . Prius Pile-Up

In the space of one or two seconds, 14 cars including 8 Ferraris, a Lamborghini, 3 Mercedes Benzs & a couple of Toyotas were damaged in what is believed to be the most expensive car crash in history. The exotics were traveling in a convoy to a meeting in Hiroshima, Japan. Speeds were estimated at 85-100 mph. The lead Ferrari lost control and the group piled onto each other and "bystander" cars nearby. Damage is estimated at $3.85M.

1884 De Dion Bouton Et Trepardoux Sells for $4.6M

Still on the road after 127 years, the De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam-powered car recently sold for $4,620,000 at auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA. It is being called "the world's oldest running car." It predates the 1886 gasoline-powered Benz by 2 years. Claims can be made to earlier car designs but none of those original beasts still drive!
