SANTAQUIN, Utah (AP) — A Utah man who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store chain's contest says he crashed the sports car six hours after he got it.

KSL-TV reports the lime green Murcielago Roadster will head to a Las Vegas body shop Wednesday for repairs, days after David Dopp won it from Maverik stores' "Joe Schmo to Lambo" contest.

Dopp says he was taking friends and family on joy rides Saturday when the vehicle hit ice or gravel and started spinning. The car hit some fence posts and came to rest in a field.

The Lamborghini has front-end damage, a punctured wheel and scratches along the passenger side.

Dopp wasn't injured in the crash and says the vehicle is insured.

He also says he'll be more careful next time.



What a dumbass. Saw elsewhere his prize also included a $15,000 pro driving course which clearly this genius felt was unnecessary before taking it out for a spin. LOL!

my brother was atthe football game when the guy won the car.

my question is who drives a car like that in the winter?
if you do drive a car like that ever hear of snow tires?

Wonder what a claim on a Lambo does to your insurance rates. lol

No doubt on the snow thing. Hell, my car only has around 425hp and it is near useless in the winter unless I absolutely baby it.

Until fairly recent 409 AWD wheel hp great in the snow as long as you keep out of the high boost.
