Here at Wrecked Exotics, we've seen our share of crazy drivers, but even we were taken aback when an anonymous tipster let us in on what is surely the most insane exotic car owner in the world.
We proudly present to you: The "King of Wrecked Exotics", a 73 year old Florida businessman who has managed to destroy at least 10 exotic cars in the last 3 years.
We of course would be honored to shake the hand of the man who, despite being involved in some horrible wrecks, has managed to walk away from each one AND still have the balls to keep driving like an insane bat out of hell. And did we mention he's 73 friggin years old?
We only have photos of 3 of his wrecks, but we've listed all the other supercars he's managed to destroy. These are some unbelievable and rare cars.
He crashed this Ferrari 360 Spyder into a water fountain near the entrance of his mansion.
This Ferrari 360 Spyder was destroyed when he crashed it into a palm tree at 60 mph.
He was racing a Lamborghini Gallardo when he rear-ended a Ford F-350 Superduty in this Ferrari F355
Here are the other cars he destroyed:
A Bugatti EB110 he crashed at Palm Beach International raceway
He completely destroyed a Ford Indigo concept car, which he purchased at auction. There were only 2 ever made. Ford owns the other one
Wrecked a classic Ferrari Dino
A Ferrari F430 was wrecked on the track
Yes, he even managed to wreck a 1909 Ford Model T
Only around 50 Yenko Camaros were ever built, and he wrecked one of them too
In addition, he's also wrecked a couple of Caterhams and a Westfield Sports car on the track
Apparently, he has partial ownership of an insurance company. Not sure if he can even get insurance from his own company, but when you're rich enough to wreck several exotic cars, it doesn't really matter anyway.
While I am “crushed” over the loss of these machines...if this gentleman bought the cars, they are his to do with as he pleases....as long as he harms no one in the process.
This is a freaking crime against humanity. This guy needs to have his license taken away from him. I have no idea how he wrecked a Model T. It has like a lawnmower engine with not a lot of power.
Judjing from the photos, I’d say he has a problem driving in the forward direction. Perhaps his next car should only have reverse.
The Gallardo would have kicked the F355’s arse.
Let’s see, rich old dude with money to blow and averages 3 serious wrecks a year.... You think he would consider adopting me?
Sad waste of fine automobiles.
More money than brains.
Is he Muslim or just “nuts”?
This person appears to have a problem with depth perception.
Is his last name, "Magoo?"
Here ya go....

I want to know how the people that were in the Ford 350 are doing. While I am also into exotic cars, I am more concerned about those that are in his path.
I’d say he doesn’t know how to drive a stick...and too proud to admit it.
+1
Agreed, and he's 73...so when he's too old to drive and wreck classic iron perhaps he could turn his attention to the art world...just think what your Van Gogh or Rembrandt in the living room would be worth if he started wrecking the old masters instead. He's a rare automotive asset appreciation genius!
And to think, this is the kind of fellow Obama wants to tax to death. How will he afford to drive, then?
Of course the Lamborghini Gallardo would go faster. The Ferrari 355 was built between 1994 and 1999, with a 3.5 liter V8 engine. The Gallardo first went into production in 2003 and has a 5 liter V10 (newer models sport a 5.2 V10)
To compare the cars is apples and oranges. Still, if I had a choice between the two, I’d take a F355 over a Gallardo, or any Lambo any day. Aside from the 360 Challenge Stradale and the recently unveiled 458 Italia, no other Ferrari is as stunning as the F355.
Which is a condition I would gladly suffer...
You could be right, he may not be able to properly work the clutch when stopping...
