19-Year-Old Sons Of Russian Bankers Demolish Ferrari F430



It happens like clockwork, the weather warms in the northern hemisphere and everyone hauls out dusty super cars, giddily hot-rodding them and inevitably planting a couple into something hard, add youthful stupidity to the mix and it's practically guaranteed. The two teenage sons of Russian bankers were lighting up Moscow streets at speeds topping 125 MPH when they lost control and smashed into the back end of a Range Rover. There were surprisingly no serious injuries in the Rover and no bystanders were hurt, but the two had to be cut from the car and taken to an area hospital where they're expected to make a full recovery. And by full recovery we mean learn nothing, guilt their dad's into buying even more exotic cars, and then smash those up during drunken, late-night escapades.

1. Good thing they didn't take the Bugatti Veyron
Daddy probably has only five or six of those.

2. the first time I went to Russia in 1999 there were
ladas everywhere. The last several trips (two in 2008) Ferraris and all kinds of incredible looking cars on the streets of St. Petersburg and Russia. Just casually parked by the curb, as if no big deal about a scratch or bump or anything...

7. Imagine all the gas that's not being wasted by layabouts.
Until their next car, that is.

8. Bozos like these don't burn much gas
In the cars they wreck - they have driving careers measured in feet. There is a website full of wrecked exotics on the web - some of whose drivers make Eddie Griffin look like Richard Petty.
