Earlier this week, we gave you a sample of the way things currently roll when it comes to traffic in Cannes. The French Riviera may be crowded at this time of the year, but, for instance, this doesn’t keep glamorous supercar drivers from being relaxed.
The guy parked his Neunelfer in an inappropriate location, with the authorities responding quickly. The police in Cannes has seen tons of expensive machine drivers who think they can rule the Riviera, so introducing their rides to the tow truck only comes natural.
The poor 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is helpless in the confrontation with that cheeky truck, being taken away easily. Those of you who are all that emotionally involved with Porsches can see things in a different perspective. Sprinkle a decent list of options on to this 911 and you’ll end up with a price of about 150 grand, regardless of the currency you want to use.
Then again, the French Riviera has seen much more expensive go-fast machines being taken away due to the parking ignorance of those who drive them. Perhaps the best example is offered by a highly customized Lamborghini Aventador that faced the tow truck in Saint-Tropez.
It all happened last year and the supercar in question was tuned by Mansory. To be more precise, the Lambo was an Aventador LP1600-4 Carbonado GT. The machine’s V12 had been pushed to 1,600 hp with the help of a twin-turbo kit, but none of that matters when the car is illegally parked. And since we mentioned the Porsche’s price above, we’ll remind you the Mansory Aventador climbs as high as EUR1 million ($1.32 million).

There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
