Automatic Fail

 Here's a nice picture of a 2006 Ford GT:

You will notice that it has a Barrett Jackson watermark on it.

That is because I have taken it from one of their auction listings from Palm Beach last month.

It sold for $704,000.

Here is a more recent photo of it:
If that had a watermark on it, it would point at the Facebook page of some chap called John Peddle.

He photographed it after an "off" in Boca Raton in Florida.

The driver wasn't used to driving a manual.  Car+Driver have the story here.

He also wasn't insured to drive it.

And the car wasn't registered.

And his licence had been suspended.

Now call me cynical - but if the guy named as the driver is the guy in the middle here, and I can't be 100% sure that he is, but the name and age and location seem right - 

then it looks like he is another Donald Trump/Boris Johnson type of individual who was born into a very rich family surrounded by servants and sycophants who has been allowed to get away with serial lying and thinks that rules don't apply to him.

And an innocent Ford GT is the victim here.

Or maybe he's just another Florida Man.
