Another exotic car wreck

What is it about exotic cars on the Westside? Remember the Swedish businessman and his crashed Enzo Ferrari in Malibu last year? Now, in Santa Monica, CNS reports a crash involving a pricey Lamborghini:

A Lamborghini crashed into five parked cars in Santa Monica today, and the driver was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said. The accident at Ocean Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard occurred about 2:30 a.m., Santa Monica police Sgt. Shane Talbot said....A woman who lives near the intersection told a camera crew at the scene that she heard a high-powered car going up and down the street shortly before the wreck.

The Times' David Pierson last year chronicled the teenagers who try to videotape all the exotic cars on the Westside. Dave found:

[The teens have] become leading chroniclers of the Westside's exotic car world. Here, the finest European sports cars — Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches — can be found in abundance, thanks to a critical mass of celebrity, glitz and free-spending men in the throes of midlife crises. Some of them cost over $1 million and require down payments of around $400,000, and that's only if you're lucky enough to make it to the top of a waiting list.
