Mini Classic was Shattered by a Sloppy "lady" Driver

I call my Friend SFC, a San Fransciso Celebrity, he has 6 cars, Mercedes 600, CL500, Lexus 470, Q45, Evo XI, a latest Mini he bought it for just one month. A sloppy lady driver put her leg onto his Mitsubishi throttle instead of the brake and crashed onto this Mini... It always happen mostly by Lady Driver. I have no prejudice on woman driver, but I have seen a lot of accidents created by this kind of slovenly woman drivers!

A Volvo was back off and moved onto a stone that shimmed up the whole care on the aft. And the rear tires were hanging in the air. She still put gas to move the car forward but failed. She did not aware.

I had seen a Lady BMW 530 Driver that stopped in front of the traffic light. We are just two metres behind and I saw she put on RETARD when the traffic light turned green at high speed, luckily we are quite FAR behind or our car would be crashed!
Reminding all drivers…"Beware lady drivers, and keep enough distance away from them!"

Porsche 918 Spyder Concept Hybrid Car

Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer which is even lower than Toyata Prius T3!
 It is so Beautiful and I am loving it though I am not able to get one.. why as this is concept car , but Porsche said that if there are over 1,000 people is interested in this car, they will make for them… latest news heard that there are already 2,000 people supporting Porsche to build this car… Price? USD$630,000, of course this is an estimation.
