Audi R8 test drive ends crashing in a river

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au...r-crash-r8.jpg

The 33-year-old Dutch man from the town of Woerden in the Netherlands went by his local Audi dealership to check out a brand spankin' new R8 supercar... and then proceeded to drive it into the nearest river. The driver was reportedly speeding – 80 mph according to police, but closer to 125 if you ask some of the bystanders – in a 50 zone when he hit a bump, lost control and skidded into a dyke. Although local law enforcement authorities are reportedly investigating the incident, nobody was hurt. The same cannot be said, sadly, for the car, which is reportedly in a repair shop where the dealer's insurance company will surely declare it a write-off.

Haha, I could see him stepping out of the car, knee deep in water, look at the salesman and say "nah, I'll go with the benz."
