The Lamborghini
Hey Rob, what's this in Danielle's diary about your LP640 getting trashed?! Everyone OK? What happened?
Honestly, the lengths you go to to make room for a Reventon... |

My Silver LP640 is totalled... happened at 8:30pm on Friday night. After a good dinner, we were driving out from Scottsdale Rd. to Bell road, an area busy with construction. Well, this lady in a red Hyundai Tiburon turns into the same lane I'm on (driving in the wrong direction) ... not enough time to dodge it at my 20mph speed, hit my left front. Her car was literally thrown aside by the LP, but my car was destroyed. Fortunately no injuries on both parties, but the whole car frame buckled around the cockpit.

Its such a sad waste, seeing a $350,000 car destroyed by a $4000 car... I'm still not sure why she was driving on the wrong side (texting, confused, tired, etc...) but she got cited for driving on the wrong side of the road.
Anyways, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time... Here's a Video: http://www.253mph.com/lambocrash/accidentrep.AVI Only had her for 2 months... sorry to see her go

Rob,
Really sorry about the car. It doesn't look too bad on the outside, but I know that once the main chassis structure or "tub" is damaged on those, it's extremely difficult or even impossible to repair. Especially if it's carbon fiber! I know you've heard this a million times, but it is good that no one was hurt. I hope the insurance covers everything. Not to make excuses for the girl in the Hyundai, but do you think the lane closure for construction played a role? Maybe she was confused by the traffic cones? Do you plan on replacing the Lambo with another one, or something else? An F430 Scuderia would be awesome, but I've always been more of a Ferrari "guy" |

I am sorry indeed it, friend Rob.
For yours beautiful and fabulous car from thousand dreams with the women of FTVGirls. If I am not wrong me, had Alison made a shoot with your beautiful car? To say that it is very beautiful to see some beautiful videos with the cars of Rob. It is easy to speak now of whom the guilt is. But I think that the guilt is of those that make the jobs and confusion of closings on the roads. And without understanding better of as it is had to drive on those closed roads. Is indeed dangerous!! Because clearly who guide according to the speed, it never does him in time to see and to stop in time. Seen the confusion of roads and traffic. And especially in the evening (or night). To every way, luckily nobody is made evil. But were you you Rob with Danielle only? Or were there other friends in your car? |

Rob's preference
Hi there Rob,
So your Lambo isn't cruising anymore....that is a shame. As a car lover, it always hurts to see such a beauty been damaged. What made you buy this brand? Were you in love with the car, the brand, Italy or was it the best ride of your life? Next wednesday me and a friend are going to a Porsche Roadshow. He was invited for a day with the newest porsches and maybe i get the change to ride aswell. It's a whole day of driving on the edge, so I'm looking forward to it! Isn't a Porsche an option for you? Greetz |

cell phone usage
It's now against the law here in California to talk on a cell phone while driving. You can use Bluetooth or an earpiece connected to the cell but you can't hold a phone up to your ear. Come January, texting while driving will also be against the law. Now, do people still hold phones to their ears? Of course! Some people will break any law on the books.

Good news for California. Texting while driving is crazy and stupid. Like the engineer on the Metrolink train that died and took 24 other people with him. It's a shame it takes tragedies like that point out these problems.
By the way, I just don't "get" this whole texting thing anyway. Danielle is correct, it's usually people in her age group, but now I'm seeing folks I work with texting all the time. Even ones in their 30's who have families and children. Who the H*** are they sending the messages to? Perhaps I'm just too old (at 40?) or it could be that I'm jealous because Idon't have someone to send messages to. Hmmmmm. |
