Hmmm...you know there are so many things that can be said. So many jokes but for some reason, all I can think of is...$1,500,000.00 damn!!!!

Some people just have more $$ than 'cents'.

He can also blame that pelican too

Eh, $500K and the car's good as new. Just don't let anyone see the CarFax.... I hope this idiot's insurance company cancels his ***. I can just hear that conversation, "Sure, sure, we have pelicans diving on exotic cars all the time. Sorry, but even though our policy would allow that, the fact YOU WERE TALKING ON A CELL PHONE illegally voids your policy. Have a nice day, jackass."

A wet-vac and a couple of boxes of Sham-wows and this car will be like new again. Are you catching this Mr. Cameraman?

You know, for the kind of money that car costs, I really don't think it's all that aesthetically apppealing. I'd take a Porsche 911 over it any day of the week.

Actually, talking on a cell phone while driving in Texas isn't illegal. It probably should be; we've got enough dumb drivers as it is... cellphones only compound the problem.

I love the ShamWow guy!! As for the product, it's not all it's cracked up to be. I tried one on my car, but a similar product called "The Absorber" that I've been using for years works much better.

Video of the crash as it happened....something very fishy about this guy..He is the one whose Ferrari Enzo was wrecked last year by a hollywood actor and this guy owns a exotic car repair and salvage yard...weird how these 2 exotic cars were wrecked and caught on tape...
