UPDATE!

Seems the owner is being accused of crashing it ON PURPOSE for the insurance money. He had been told back in November that he had won the car and tried getting Jay Leno to buy the car when he found out he would owe $100,000 in taxes on the car!

That kinda takes all the shine out of winning something now,dont it?

Only the government would think a tax on winnings is a good thing. Thanks God the Canadian government does not tax lottery winnings! Not sure if they tax prizes like cars,but I'd think not if they dont tax a cash prize.
