Owner got to enjoy his brand new ride for less than a day.

Just 24 hours after buying this brand-new Porsche 911 GT3 with a mere 80 miles on the clock, the driver was doing 50 mph in a 60 mph zone when it lost traction and spun out, colliding with an oncoming vehicle. A telephone pole stopped the car from rolling, but couldn't stop the engine from ripping out. It's a sorry sight to be sure, but if you feel like a challenge or want to pick at the scraps of this roadkill, the wreckage is currently up for sale on Copart with the current bid standing at £1,550.
