Have fun explaining that to the insurance guy. I would also call negligence and tell him he's f'd. Should be driving a Yugo. With training wheels.

It might. But it shouldn't.

I bet you cant even get a normal auto policy for that. Like the car, I'm sure its some sort of exclusive rider deal on his personal insurance. Seems like Clarkson spent about thirty minutes on the car phone during a TG episode spelling B-u-g-a-t-t-i...

To his next passenger(if he ever has one), "I'd like to mention that, in the case of a water landing, a flotation device is located beneath your seat."

Similar event. I sold my uncle a mint '92 300Z about 15 years ago. He lives in the Florida Keys. About 4 months after purchase he was showing his friend how fast it would go after dinner and some wine(and a few hits on god knows what). I guess he got going pretty good down a long straight away on one of the islands and was too high to remember where the road actually ended and managed to hit the brakes too late to keep it from sliding off the end of the road, down a boat ramp, and out into the warm clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It's fortunate the marine patrol wasn't around to write him a ticket for crushing lobster. Definitely a wonderful family joke now.

$100 says he told perfect strangers that he owned a BV.... Same $100 says that the DB doesn't mention it anymore.... 'cause now he has to say... "yeah that was me"....

What a DB.

(warning - swearing at the end of the video)



Hey buddy... it's your insurance company calling... they have bad news...
