Man Wins Lamborghini, Crashes it 6 Hours Later
Email
A Utah man was speechless when he found out he won a $350,000 Lamborghini in a contest hosted by a local convenience store chain last month, but his excitement came to a halting stop six hours later when he crashed the luxury Italian sports car.
“We were coming up a hill and going down a corner, and we hit a patch of black ice,” David Dopp told ABC News’ Salt Lake City Affiliate ABC 4 news.
Dopp won the 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 on Nov. 12 at LaVell Edwards Stadium during Maverik’s “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest. According to a spokesperson, the Lamborghini is worth more than $350,000 and its 640-horse powered engine can go from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds.
The Lamborghini was delivered to Dopp on Dec. 17, and soon after he took the car for a drive around the neighborhood with friends and family. Noise complaints forced Dopp to re-route his joy rides to the outskirts of Sataquin, Utah, where things turned sour.
Dopp said he hit the ice patch while traveling about 40 or 50 mph around a turn, causing the car to spin backward and hit a fence post, damaging the fender on his dream car.
“Everything is going to be OK and we’ll move on from here,” Dopp’s wife Annette Dopp told ABC 4 news.
Dopp paid $3,500 to insure the car for six months, and his down payment for the repairs was $1,000. According to Dopp, the car is on its way to Vegas for repairs.
But even when it returns, there will be no more joy rides in the pricey Lamborghini. Dopp plans on selling the car to pay off bills and buy his wife a new car.

Under racial profiling many BLACK AMERICANS were arrested and were either martyred within the prison system or were deported to AFRICA , where many of them were martyred there and were buried in mass graves in both the SUDAN and in the CONGO. It was this act as well as the rise of the hiphop nation which had been summon against black america by the white feminists and those whites who have a long history of embracing white supremacy is what has contribute to the black holocaust in which much of the black human population were decimated. Mean while a new demonic black america has arisen from both the antebellum and hiphop nations and is based on stereotypical images of low class , poverty stricken and crminally prone blacks and replace the black human population.

@Looncraz soooo true.
Too funny of a story though. I’d have sold the thing the day I got it. Ridiculous car.

You would have to be “rich” just to accept a prize like that … with taxes, insurance, storage, maintenance, etc … should have just took the cash.

He may be lucky, but not real smart when you put him behind the wheel of a high powered car. Too stupid to own it, so he needs toreturn it.

Sadly, another overweight American that is not too bright and should not be allowed to play with toys he cannot afford. Man what an annoying laugh too. So was that a monster truck rally or American sports event he won the car at? >:)

Unless one is driving on a speedway only a complete moron would take a turn at 40-50 mph.
BTW – this is old news. ABC needs to get with current events.
