Million-dollar car ends up in pieces on Hong Kong street

When you spend $1 million on a car, you're probably not taking it to the grocery store where it can get dinged by minivan drivers flinging their doors open. Actually, if you spend $1 million on a car, you probably ought to park it in the middle of an open field or hide it in a garage a mile underground. Because if you do decide to take it out, something like this can happen. 

The automotive beauty lying in pieces on the Hong Kong street pictured above -- for car aficionados, this post is like a Saw movie -- is the Pagani Zonda F. Only 106 Pagani Zondas were ever produced, and only 25 of those were the Zonda F. Learn more about the Zonda here; you can see what an intact one looks like there at right. Tech specs indicate that the Zonda F can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, and can go from "sweet ride" to "bankrupting wreck" even faster.

Amazingly -- or perhaps not -- this is reportedly the third time a Zonda has wrecked in recent years, and the second time this has happened in Hong Kong. (Proof positive that there's something for everyone on the Internet, there's an entire website -- Wrecked Exotics -- devoted to crash photos of high-dollar cars.)

According to Wrecked Exotics, the car's owner was driving back from a track when a truck forced it to wreck in the above row of parked cars. (We'll have to take their word for it, as we can't read the original news account.) Ouch. That's going to be murder on that truck driver's insurance.
