Kinda thinking seriously-interested buyers may look wherever one might be found for sale.

Can't be many of them on the market...At least I haven't seen any on the local Kia/Hyundai used car lots.

In the States perhaps 20. It just struck me funny that, of the ones currently available, the reporter chose the Ark. car...

I didn't see any low flying pelican either....Amazing someone caught that on camera too. (I'm overlooking the language as well).

I'm not setting a standard here, but this one was worth it.

These were posted on LamboPower...

I don't buy it myself, but there it is.

Pelicans are uckfing big, and what is pointed out in the pics looks to me to be too small to be a Pelican and instead seems to be stationary roadside debris of some kind...

The driver of the is a member of the CF, 2004TTZ06... He's the guy that repairs Ford GT's and recently bought an Enzo...

Saw this on CF from Bent, who is quoting the Ford GT forum:

Ok, got the first hand info. Driver dropped something, looked down for just a sec and when he looked back up, the BIRD was in his peripheral vision. Having looked down just before this, it disoriented him, causing him to think he had mistakenly swaped lanes, etc and some car or something was coming towards him. He swirved out of reflex, got off the road just a little, but the soft mud made it impossible to get back on the road. It directed the car straight to the water. Speeds were 55 to 60ish as can be believed from the lack of damage to the car. If he had been traveling at a high rate of speed, the impact would have tore the car to pieces, but not matter what anyone says, because it was a car that is capable of doing 200+ MPH, there will be plenty of people saying he was going LUDACRIS SPEED! He is ok. Main thing hurt it is ego, which I could have guessed that as I would feel the same if it happened to me. At the end, he is OK. Car as I am guessing, will probably be a complete loss. SAD DAY FOR THE EXOTIC CAR WORLD!

So, the reason for the accident is that he was fidgeting while driving. I hope he learned his lesson.

Only cost 1.5 million... but who cares, it was probably insured!

I hear Mr. House is also allegedly trying to sell a wrecked/repaired Ford GT before the new title is issued with the ol' SALVAGE branding...
