Race Car Driver loses $250,000 Diamond

[Jason]

Seems someone thought it would be a grand idea ($250 grand) to stick a diamond on the front of a Jaguar Formula One car during a race.

Im not sure if they thought the *bling bling* would distract other drivers and win them the race or if this was just a publicity stunt.

In the end the rookie driver crashed and they lost the diamond.

I've got a $100 bill that says that every one of the team and probably close to 4000 others are in the dirt looking for that rock right now. This is of course an example why AMD chose to sponsor Ferarri and not Jaguar.

intel should sponsor jaguar.. they represent class in chips.. and jag's are class in cars

So essentially your saying you prefer an overpriced Ford. mmmm, I think I will go with the slimmed down sleek and fast as lightning ferrari. At least the ferrari's horse still stands for performance. The new Jag's look like Hyundai sonata's.

I don't want either one.. all that $ and then the bad gas mileage...

give me a toyota prius or honda insight (i guess a civic hybrid would be ok too) and i'm a happy camper...

[StinkyMojo]

Well I'll be damned... give me a 98' supra turbo, a nissan skyline, or mod my 87' celica with a v8 and I'll be a happier camper...

LOL stinky. If we're being like that then I want a Mclaren F1, and two nissan skylines.
And for kicks pop a supercharger turbo onto my sentra SER and 18" Z rated tires, carbon fiber hood, and a full leather interior.

lol.. mclaren f1 pwns all..

[Jason]

hell yeah it does, top speed of 231mph and a zero to 60 that makes having a neck guard standard equipment on the car.

Hmm.... NO... Other than the X-type, Ford hasn't touched Jag except economically. Jag's lineup is a classier one than Ferrari's (excluding the 550's and 575's!) and Jag's have had their look for several decades. It's the sonata's and the new Kia that copied Merc and Jag styling. But then again, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The McLaren is nice, but it doesn't pwn all... The Hayabusa beats it...
