    A male passenger????

    At least car was total loss....if guy has competent insurance and car is $0 down-leased (though prob unlikely given Lambo buyer "socio-economics", esp in LA ), may do better financially than if had to keep the rapidly-depreciated Murci (even more rapidly-depreciated post-any accid)......

    The driver was 26 or 27. Obviously a recent Kennedy Academy of Mixology graduate. Too much money to soon.

    That's no way to treat such a beautiful car. That's painful to look at. Sadly, I guess this loss means almost nothing to the guy who totalled it...he has too much money but too little sense...

    To purchase some cars, a special skills examination should be required. Not only the money. Many stupid accidents would be prevented, and many massterpieces as the Murci would not have this sad and nonsense end.

    With all my respects, the driver should be aware what are the Lamborghini the Diablo's HP...not a toy to play with, at least in that way (public roads).

    The driver was already on probation for a previous drinking/driving incident

    Gotcha, thanks for the update. I really hope the Murci wasn't his and now he owes someone big
