...Monaco Car Accident

It seems as if someone in Monte Carlo Monaco needs a driving lesson. Three blondes in a jelly bean blue Bentley Azure ($363,000) scraped the rear of a white Mercedes-Benz S-Class ($91,000). The 2.7-ton Bentley then hit the nose of a black Ferrari F430 ($186,000). Then, a four-door Aston Martin Rapide ($228,000) crunched into the Azure’s passenger door and a stray Porsche 911 ($77,000). Now this is an accident. I have seen million dollar super cars crash and I have seen race cars crash, but those are high speed affairs. I can only imagine how slow and painful his was. The blonde lady driving was obviously at fault, how do you manage to hit a parked car head on? No biggie though, I am sure they were tired of their cars anyway. Also I am more than sure that they can afford to have these cars repaired. By the time they get them back it will be time for an upgrade. I am giving this accident a Digit Down. Dumb blondes...

...Cash Cab

Death is rarely ever funny. Most of the times it is not the death that is funny but the way that it occurred that is. I read about a man in Canada who was struck by a taxi and later died. The taxi turned out to be one of the faux taxis used for the show "Cash Cab". This was not the American version though, this was the Canadian version. The accident happened as a producer was driving the replica cab back to a storage facility after filming for the day had been completed. The 61 year old man hit by the cab later died at the hospital. Andrew Burnstein, president of Castlewood Productions Inc., which produces the shows Canadian version, had this to say, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his friends and his family. My heart also goes out to the driver of the vehicle, a member of our technical staff, who is shaken and devastated by this tragic accident, as is our entire team." No charges have been filed yet, but the accident is still under investigation. Why was this funny? I have no clue, but I giggled and I am still trying to figure out why. Probably because it was the "Cash Cab" and that show is a tad annoying to me, though I only watch a segment every other other month by accident. This news is sad for that mans family and I am sure they will sue and get a lot of cash from that cab, haha...awwwww cheap. I am giving this a Digit Down.

...Charlie Davies


On October 13th of 2009 soccer player Charlie Davies was involved in a serious car accident. How serious was it? The car split into two pieces and Davies suffered a broken femur and tibia in his right leg, a broken left elbow, facial fractures, a lacerated bladder and bleeding on the brain. Even worse his passenger, 22-year-old Ashley Roberta, was killed. The driver of the car only had a few minor injuries. Even though Davies was not driving that night you would think that the shock and near death experience would be enough for him to calm down and never ever speed or drink and drive. Wrong. It has just been released that last Saturday Davies received a speeding ticket for traveling 110 mph! Apparently since he missed the World Cup and since his coach told him he is far from getting back on the team he feels that he is just going to give up and do what he wants to do. Well no matter what it is still dumb, very dumb. Take it from me, someone who ha been involved in many accidents, it is not something you like to do or repeat and you usually try to avoid them at all cost. Speeding is not trying to avoid them, it is pretty much looking for one This is a stupid move on his part and this is not going to help him get n the team any faster, even as he makes progress on the field. I am giving Charlie Davies a Digit Down.
