That's insane.How do you go from being a NYC cab driver to owning GT40s and 427 Cobras?

Ouch, sorry to see.
I'm still trying to figure out why people don't like him.

I didn't mean to generalize, I'm not saying ALL Ferrari owners drive like asses. It's just that most of the time if you give someone a lot of horsepower, they are going to use it.
I guess I can't bash or defend the Lotus driver since I've never seen his driving habits.

^ Yeah, looks like a lot of people don't like him b/c he drives recklessly.
It's one thing to drive fast, but another to drive reckless. I also read a few of the forums where they were not happy he drives that car on the road with slicks, but he claims they are DOT legal. He doesn't have many friends online...
And yes, his story sounds off...

I thought they looked like slicks in one of the pics:

I wouldnt be surprised if there was no Porsche and he just took the corner too quick. You'd think if he were hit from behind there would be damage, but that area seems rather unscathed.
