Utah Man Wins Lamborghini Murcielago in Contest, Crashes it 6 Hours Later [Videos]



There are many reasons why only rich people buy supercars: it’s not just the price but the cost of living with, or repairing, one. It’s a risk any second-hand car buyer is taking, as our earlier story about a HUGE Ferrari F355 engine repair bill proves.
