Dopp, a 34-year-old truck driver for Frito-Lay, spun out of control just a few hours after taking the keys to the Murcielago Roadster that he won in a "Joe Schmo to Lambo" contest sponsored by Maverik convenience stores.

Really.........  how many people could afford to pay the taxes and insurance on a car this expensive.  I heard the insurance was $7,000 a year.  The taxes have got to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $75K to $90K.  I would be excited for about an hour before reality hit me.  And how long is it going to take him to sell the car........  not that many buyers for that car.  Dear.......  negative nelly here this morning!  Sorry!

 sunny That's too bad. Perhaps he should have taken the driving lessons he won before driving the car. Yea, that is just what a guy with 6 kids needs, but having 6 kids will certainly be a big blessing on his taxes.

And him a driver, too.  How mortifying!  And I agree with the comments about the taxes.   I avoid some of the really expensive prizes because a win would just be too stressful.
