Florida Man Crashes Supercar Because Of Manual Transmission

Sean Roberts May 5th
The $700,000 car slid off of the road.

Florida Man has done some pretty legendary things, some good and some bad. You can add crashing a very expensive and rare car to the list of adventures now. Authorites say Florida man was driving a Ford GT recently when he lost control and crashed. When questioned about the incident, the man blmaed the crash on being unfamiliar with a manual transmission and how it works. That’s a pretty expensive lesson to learn, considering that car is currently valued at a bit over $700,000. A witness who took pictures of the accident and posted them HERE, says the car careened into a tree and destroyed the entire front end. while the damage seems to be focused on the front half of the vehicle, the air bags deployed and rendered it inoperable. The crash is particularly devastating because the car is not new, but a classic limited edition that his risen in value every year since it was built in 2006. Even the paint scheme is unique, harkening back to the same livery used when Carroll Shelby, sponsored by Ford directly, raced the original GT Fords against Ferrari. The battle was immortalized in the movie, Ford vs. Ferrari. After the dust settled, the driver told investigating officers that while the cluth contributed to the crash, he also felt that old tires and muddy pavement helped the 550 horsepower car wreck into the tree. After their investigation, police cited the man for driving on a suspended license and warned for driving an unregistered vehicle. Source: NDTV.com

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
