My good friend’s grandfather daily drove his F430 a couple years ago. Before he got rid of it a few months ago I believe he said it was the highest mileage F430 in the US. He traded it in for a '12 ZR1…F430 needed the scheduled engine refresh :rofl

Saw an article in the local Express (Stillwater, Mechanicville, Waterford) Paper that had a picture of an older black Audi A8 with wheels (looks identical to the one that LKSi was selling on this site a while back) that got impaled by a guiderail on State Route 423 in the Town of Stillwater. Apparently the driver walked away from the wreck. Any idea who said person is?

I’ll see if I can work on getting a copy of the picture off my phone and posted soon.

Lance’s old car. He’d obviously know of the new owner to some degree.

On one hand it sucks that the car got mangled because it was an absolutely beautiful car when LKSi was selling it, but I’m astonished that the kid who was driving was able to walk away after looking at the photo.

The article said that they had to remove close to 50 ft of guide rail to unlodge the car.

Yeah it’s lame when you sell your hard work and the new owner destroys it. It happens a lot though. Glad the kid was alright, that’s all that really matters. Post the picture if you find it.
