Another Exotic Car Immolates Itself

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Ferrari F430 Spyder. We've had a recent facination with absurdly expensive sports cars turning themselves to ashes. This one was parked in Florida when WreckedExotics.com says it "spontaneously combusted." Somehow reminds us of the song "I'm Too Sexy." These cars have so much potential that sometimes they just can't contain it and suddenly blow up without warning.

Thanks to WreckedExotics.com for the photos. Look for more exotic car mayhem at their site!

Jaguar F-Type In Cinders

This makes it official. The new Jaguar F-Type is a true exotic. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is the barely introduced Jaguar F-Type that has already spontaneously combusted, just like the best from Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Jaguar was kind enough to let the Almost Everything team drive a few F-Types on the runway at Alameda Naval Air Station a few weeks ago. The 'F' in F-Type stands for Fast and Furious. We like!

However these are NOT the photos from Joel's test drive--only the tires were smoldering when he got out. Instead, these come from Belgium via our good friends at WreckedExotics.com. The driver escaped unharmed and reported that the car simply caught fire on an off ramp. F may also stand for Flamable.

Ferrari 599 GTO Wreck

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a 2012 Ferrari 599 GTO (one of 599 built.) The driver sped through a blind turn at 4:30 AM and found a truck coming at him. He managed to avoid the truck but slid into a tree, a wall and a lamp post before coming to a stop. The driver walked away unhurt before the car burst into flames and burned to the ground.

Video of One-of-a-Kind Lamborghini Crash

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a one-of-a-kind Lamborghini concept supercar called the Giugiaro Parcour. This past weekend at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed (FoS) the Giugiaro Parcour was participating in the Supercar Run and spun off the race track into a hay bale wall. The damage is certainly repairable but the video is still hard to watch.

Goodwood Estate where the Festival of Speed is held every year

As is so often the case, our buddies across the Bay at WreckedExotics.com alerted us to this automotive tragedy.

Betting Against Large Trucks

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. Now if the contest is pure speed we'll take the Lambo over the truck every time. But when the game is "chicken". . . 

Truck wins, again.

Even when we are 90% sure that we'll squeeze through before the truck, we try to be gracious and allow the truck to go first on the chance that the truck could squash us like a bug and not even notice it.

We have been hunting for some better photos of this crash but so far, no luck. If you find some, send them our way. These came from our buddies over at WreckedExotics.com. 

Photos & Video of Bentley Continental GT Burning to the Ground

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is yet another Bentley Continental GT in flames. Unilke last time, the fire was mostly the owner's fault and partly the fault of the illegal street racers that he ran into (we don't think the Bentley was connected to the street race.) Witnesses reported (and video shows) that he was heading from the airport to Minsk, Belarus at an extreme rate of speed when he crashed into a VW and then 3 other vehicles in the middle of the street for a drag race. You can see a large group of people scattering from the middle of the street right after the crash. The driver escaped before the Bentley caught fire.

Thanks to WreckedExotics.com for sending us the photos. The rest of the story & video is courtesy of LiveLeak.com.

Photos of 6 Exotic Cars Going Up In Flames

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is not one wreck but 6! A car carrier in Bangkok, Thailand was transporting a Ferrari, Lamborghini, 2 Bentleys, Mercedes and a BMW. One of the exotics caught fire while on the transporter (we're guessing the Lamborghini because they seem to spontaneously combust fairly frequently.) The fire spread to other cars while the truck was moving!

Thanks as always the the guys at WreckedExotics.com for our weekly dose of automotive mayhem!

Lotus Elise Squashed Like a Bug

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a diminutive 2005 Lotus Elise that got even smaller when a Ford Five Hundred drove on top of it. WreckedExotics.com reports that an old woman making a left hand turn just drove right up and over the Lotus--you can see the tire tracks up the hood and over the windshield!

Side-Swiped Aston Martin

What would you do if you found your car sideswiped in a garage? Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is an Aston Martin DBS and if it happened to us, we'd be gleeful that we owned an Aston Martin! Then, of course, we'd be rather upset! Wonder if this can be fixed for less than our $1000 deductible? Uh. . . probably not.

Thanks to the brilliant guys at WreckedExotics.com who find all these things for us.

2014 Corvette Stingray Wreck!

How is this even possible? Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It isn't even on the market yet! We get this scoop from our friends at WreckedExotics.com. In their article, they quote General Motors as saying, "During evaluation, the inside tire caught the edge of the pavement during a tight corner, leading to the accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, the car received only minor damage, and no citations were issued." Hard to believe this is minor damage. . . but nothing we couldn't fix!

Fender Bender Extraordinaire--Rolls Royce Phantom Side-Swiped

If you're having a bad day, these photos might help put a different perspective on it. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a recent Rolls Royce Phantom with custom bodywork from what looks like a low wall hit at high speed. The air bags are deployed and the car was spotted abandoned by the side of the road in China.  At roughly $500,000.00, the car may not be a total loss like any normal car would be. On the bright side, if you had to be in a vehicle that was going to be in a major accident, this tank of a car is probably a good choice.

Thanks as always to WreckedExotics.com who sent these gems to us.

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day brings tears to our eyes. The Aston Martin Rapide is quite possibly the loveliest 4 door sedan on the planet. . . and one of the very fastest too. This one hit an Audi SUV in Beijing.

You Don't See This Every Day-Bentley vs Panamera

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a PAIR of wundercars bashed into each other―a likely sign of the apocalypse. How often do you see a Bentley Continental & a Porsche Panamera in the same month? How about on the same day? How about tailgating each other on the freeway. D'oh!

1995 Ferrari 348 vs Tree

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a 1995 Ferrari 348 that was wrapped around a tree at high speed (yes, of course we meant the tree was speeding.) Amazingly, the driver walked away without any significant injuries. No word on how the tree fared or if drugs or alcohol were in the tree's system at the time of the collision. Police continue their investigation on rue Anatole in France.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550 Wreck

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550. The story goes like this. . . an out of control truck was barreling down on the poor supercar and in an heroic attempt to avoid an accident, the driver swerved and crashed into the median. Yeah, we're a little dubious about the story too. This Lamborghini disaster is from Si Chuan, China.

Not Your Typical Off Road Vehicle

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is yet another Ferrari 458 Italia. We commend exotic car owners for actually using their cars instead of letting them wither in a garage. However, we think that this owner might do better to leave the car at home. May we suggest a Jeep, Land Rover or Land Cruiser for this type adventure? More fun and faster too!

Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Unintentional Snow Plow

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is an early Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. When I think of Rolls Royces, this is always the car I imagine. I like the classic, flowing lines of the single headlamp version more than the later dual headlamp models. It lost control on the highway in Monts-Verts, France. Hopefully it will be put right and be back on the road again.

Bentley Continental GTC First "Ding"

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day returns to the good ol' USA today where this once beautiful Bentley Continental GTC (base price $191,400.00) had a "parking mishap." Don't you hate it when you get that first "ding?" In this case, the Bentley driver dinged the parked BMW behind it and several other cars in New York City.
