What do a blonde, a 2.7 ton Bentley, a black Ferrari F430 ($186,000), an Aston Martin Rapide($228,000) and a Porsche 911($77,000) have in common?
No joke, It seems they all met in a parking lot at Monte Carlo's Place du Casino. And I mean met in the worst sense of the word. They crunched!
The Bentley clearly was at fault. Its nose is pointing straight at the casino’s entrance, an entrance where fine cars are routinely valet-parked diagonally. It seems that the Bentley’s driver thought she could sneak past the white Mercedes, then swerved right when she realized they were going to collide, which in turn clipped the Rapide coming up on her right. The Ferrari and the Porsche were collateral damage - parked directly in the Bentley’s now diverted path.
Ouch!, In a matter of a few seconds, millions of dollars of damage.
Let's hope that all four owners had the proper insurance. Here at All About Detail we recommend Hagerty Insurance for you Classic Cars (free quote).

What Drives Tiger Woods?
We all know how well Tiger Woods drives but when he is not on the golf course what does he drive?
It seems he is not on the course much these days and that has led to problems for him. Since his divorce, his less than sizzling performance in the recent tournaments and his physical problems has led up to Tiger having financial problems. Not our kind of problems, but problems on a grander scale. His golf earnings and his endorsements have gone south while the ex-wife has taken a large divot from his large green bank account.
I, being an Exotic Car Broker, thought perhaps one of his cars from his collection might come up for sale. I did some research to see what ponies he may have in the garage. Turns out the most recent news I could find on the subject matter was before the divorce.
Tiger, the "family man" seemed to only have two vehicles at that time. The family car was a very conservative Buick Enclave that did not seem to be golf club proof. The other car though was a Porsche 2000 Carrera GT.
You might wonder, if he had been driving this that night, he may have been gone long before the ex-wife's back swing, avoided the trees and avoided the press coverage.
How different life could have been.
So the morale here is, always drive the Porsche when making a get away. On second thought, Always Drive The Porsche!
I'm not sure what Tiger is driving these days but I hope to see him driving a golf ball and a golf cart real soon.
