Default Another Exotic crashed?

Why don't these people use some of their money for driving school er something?

A Central Florida man who crashed his new $400,000 Lamborghini only hours after getting behind the wheel has been charged with drunken driving, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.


Officers said Ronald Tridico, 39, was apparently speeding in his bright yellow Lamborghini on state Road 429 near Orlando when he lost control and crashed.


Witnesses said he was taking a curve when he crashed.

The Windermere resident was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a crash, officers said.

The man's wife was also in the vehicle and suffered a minor injury to her arm.

I don't think driving school is going to help when you're drunk driving a Lambo!


Tool deserves smashing his car and his pending loss of license.

He was drunk, could have been any car.

What is facinating to me is the internet's interest of people crashing exotics and taking shots at those that can afford to buy such incredible cars.

Although it is repeated daily in tv ad's and such my buddy told me the first thing his instructor said was to "NOT DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANYTHING". Since this guy hasn't gotten it yet maybe the instructor can stare him right in the eye (whichever) and slowly tell him, maybe burning it in his brain. Yeah right, the guy would have just gone right out, hammer drinks away and crashed.

P.S Yeah I forgot to comment on his drunk-a$$.

Default Man Arrested After Crashing New $400,000 Lamborghini

What an idiot!

A Central Florida man who crashed his new $400,000 Lamborghini only hours after getting behind the wheel has been charged with drunken driving, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Officers said Ronald Tridico, 39, was apparently speeding in his bright yellow Lamborghini on state Road 429 near Orlando when he lost control and crashed.

And on the 429 too?
If anyone has been on this road its smooth as silk on a large portion of it. But it does have some hard turns that I GUESS if you are going 120+ you could loose it. I guess being drunk didn't help either.

Man what a waste of 400K

As long as he is not stupid enough to drink and drive he should be fine.
