The $1,000,000 fender bender

[transplant99]

This is awesome.

Nothing in Monte Carlo is understated, from the baubles to the yachts to the bank accounts. Now add traffic pile-ups to that list.

The Hope Diamond of fender benders unfolded yesterday in possibly the most conspicuous stretch of asphalt in the .75-square-mile principality - the round-about in front of the James Bond-worthy casino - when three blondes in a jelly-bean blue Bentley Azure ($363,000) scraped the rear of a white Mercedes-Benz S-Class (a paltry $108,000). And that was merely the appetizer.

Served up for the main course were a hapless black Ferrari F430 ($186,000), which was hit nose-first by the 2.7-ton Bentley. Then, like two tankers mashing in the fog, a four-door Aston Martin Rapide ($223,000) crunched into the Azure's passenger door. The cherry on this metal, plastic and carbon-fiber shattering souffle: a stray Porsche 911 ($90,000).

Stupid millionaires. That'll show them.

Maybe the Saudis do have it right.

I found Monaco to be such a weird place. Cameras everywhere and throngs of tourists at every turn. I won't be going back.

I think the obvious lesson we can all learn from this is just because she gives good head doesn't mean you let her borrow the Bentley.

[jonesy]

the one in the back doesn't seem blonde.

[You Need a Thneed]

The numbers only add up to $970,000. Should have crashed another car into the pileup to get to the million mark.

Definitely has a strange vibe to it. Fun place to party though.
