Bart Pfankuch vs Rod Thomson

Japanese driving badly In Japan, a group of exotic car enthusiasts was driving together

from Tokyo to Hiroshima on Sunday Included were eight Ferraris, one Lamborghini, and two Mercedes The cars collided Tokyo has wonderful sushi and tempura Police said the wreck began when a Ferrari driver hit the median

while changing lanes. He then spun across the highway The other cars plowed into him and each other trying to avoid him Police would not estimate the damage, but because a used Ferrari

sells for at least $100,000 in Japan, the damage was more than $1 million... and likely much higher

No one was seriously injured, but police in Yamaguchi prefecture said 10 people were treated for bruises and cuts

Police said some of the cars were completely destroyed One tow-truck driver said it was the most expensive wreck he’s

seen
