Not really. But here was what happened, allegedly:
Imagine the pain this petrol head is feeling! Note to self, don’t leave a tin of paint on the backseat of your Maserati then swerve to avoid a dog…
The thick white paint completely destroyed the interior of the driver’s supercar, causing more than £40,000 worth of damage, as he was forced to avoid hitting the animal.
Claims Manager for RAA Insurance Hayley Cain said the driver had left the paint on the backseat when the lid dislodged from the tin and flew through the air.
She said: “As the tin flew around the car like a mini tornado, the leather interior and windscreen were liberally splashed with a thick coat of white paint.
“Fortunately the driver was fine, but given the extent of damage to the interior, our insurance assessors declared it a write off and we settled the claim for over $90,000.’
I smell a rat when the rat’s really dead for at least a week.

Haha exactly!
Not gonna lie, I’d take the MC12 over the Enzo, especially the racing version.

It even looks sad.

Classic
That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this piece of news

The sadness came from the fact that it was a bastard child

Couple things come to my mind.
1) Them damn B&O employees. (least likely)
2) Sorry doge. You in wrong place at the worst time. (probably was like a pelican I heard about)
3) She said:
As the tin flew around the car like a mini tornado, the leather interior and windscreen were liberally splashed with a thick coat of white paint.
4)How fricking fast were you going?
5) Do you know anybody in Texas with a wet Bugatti?
6) Yeah, it didn’t work for him either.

4) I wasn’t going very fast, but I DID come very fast!
5) Pretty sure that’s a wet Lambo, and is now on fire!!

a write off?
I wonder how much the insurance company are selling it for. It’s in Australia and I’m in Australia.
Strippo Maserati anyone?

Or paint every interior panel white and reupholster with white leather, then sell it as a Mansory special “White Privilege” edition, and one will be none the wiser.

Oh, absolutely. The Maserati just oozes sex like a sopping pair of panties. The Enzo is an angry, engorged, syphilitic dick compared to the low-slung, subtle, slippery mystique of the MC12.

It would be worth it for that glorious 3.8L V8 alone if that’s the powerplant for this particular car. Swap that into a Fiat Spyder and enjoy your infinite eargasm.

that’s true, and will be worth more than a quattroporte in 10 years time anyway. holy depreciation batman.
Though I wouldn’t be restricted to putting into a spider, I’d find a Citroen SM and give it the engine it always deserved.

I probably could have get it cleaned up for less than a quarter of that.

That’s why this seemed like a case of insurance fraud, just much less extreme than the Veyron-Pelican case.
