Exotic Automotive Armageddon!

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.
