A 2005 Carrera GT
was wrecked here in the Bay Area by a guy test driving it that took a corner to fast in the rain. The reason? "The tires weren't warmed up yet and lost grip"....No body damage and only $4,000ish in labor but $36,000 in suspension and undercarriage parts on a car the guy doesn't even own 
I heard this from a "friend" who works for the dealer's insurance company. They're trying to make the guy's own insurance pay for it (as they should).
