The accident took place in the great city of Lijiang in Yunnen Province. We've never heard of that place either, but maybe the next Tokyo Drift will be filmed there since the locals certainly have a love for speeding.

The Chinese media is reporting that the driver told police he swerved to avoid a dog and crashed. But considering he hit not only another car but also the rail, we don't think that's what happened. Teacher, the dog ate my homework, and he crashed my car too!

The chances of two of the same car crashing into each other are pretty slim. In fact, I've never seen it happen in real life. But let's consider the fact that Ferraris are not as common as Volkswagens. Production of the 488 GTB only recently started, so there can't be more than a few thousand in the world.

Two Ferrari owners in the same city undoubtedly know each other. And the chances of them engaging in a race are pretty high. But we're not here to point fingers at anybody. What the wealthy Chinese do with their time and money is their business.

What we can say is that the crash caused a huge scene. Police had to divert traffic and even in the photos you can see there's oil and gasoline all over the place. Considering how prone supercars are to catching fire, we're glad nobody got killed here.

For whatever reason, the owners also had their official indoor tarp with them. So they tried to cover things up and went as far as to put newspapers over the license plates. Could we be looking at the children of government officials again?

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
