That's not so bad. It's only the "base" model.

It's never nice to see a car crash but I can only imagine deep down inside owners of rare vehicles are glad when even less are out there lol. Part of the risk with putting these cars on the road. Life's too short and that's what they're made for though.

Funny enough though that as has become the case with many expensive small production sports cars, most Ford GTs are garage queens. Mileage greatly affects their value. I do applaud the guy for driving it.

For sure, at least he was enjoying the heck out of it until this happened. Either way it is nice to see some of these cars actually get use.
