Ferrari Pile up, Big Dollars

Japan's very expensive car crash has been in the news and it's causing

quite an eyebrow lift... and no wonder.  Time posted this

“I’ve never seen such a thing,” highway patrol lieutenant Eiichiro Kamitani told the AFP. “Ferraris rarely travel in such large numbers.” The speed limit on that stretch of road is 80 kilometers per hour, (50mph) and it’s thought that some of the vehicles were considerably in excess of that number.

According to officials, 14 exotic cars were "convoying" to Hiroshima (this is the Rubber Duck, we got us a convoy) when the accident occurred.  Ferrari's, Lamborghini and Mercedes all
represented in this extraordinary accident and in spite of the cost involved, there were no
serious injuries (physically speaking).  With millions of dollars in damage (some total losses)
you must admit, to have no real lives lost or disabled says something about the safety and
quality of each of these vehicles.  On the other hand, it just makes the rest of the competition
a little more valuable by reducing the number out there.
