Cristiano Ronaldo Totals Ferrari, Walks Away
Cristiano Ronaldo totaled his Ferrari worth more than $300K at 10:20 am this morning in Manchester, UK, and walked away shaken but uninjured:
"The front of the Ferrari 599 GTB, which reaches a top speed of 205mph, was completely crushed after absorbing the impact of the crash. Metal debris, including the front left wheel, was scattered across the road. The 23-year-old Portuguese international, who will need less than two weeks of his salary to recoup the money for a new car, was unscathed and later made his way to training. It is being reported that Ronaldo's Manchester United team-mate Edwin van der Sar, who plays in goal, was allegedly driving the car behind the star at the time of the crash...The accident occurred just two days after Ronaldo had the supercar imported from his native Portugal into Britain."

You just know he was fixing his hair in the mirror when he crashed.

Not that I'm jumping to conclusions but he should thanking the universe that he didn't kill himself or ANYONE ELSE that happened to be on the street at that time. I'm glad he's okay and hopefully he will slow down in the future.

Completely agree with you, Crispy. Brilliant footballer; crap driver.

Does he need a shoulder to cry on?
With his shirt off.

Gary,
I was gonna make this joke, but I didn't think anyone around here would get it...
After the crash, Ronaldo held his ankle and rolled around on the ground until police blamed the wall for the incident.

I must be the only person who can't stand Cristiano Ronaldo. The way he flops whenever anyone is within 10 yards of him makes me wish someone would just stomp on and shatter his shins.
I got the joke, Crispy.

An entitled douche-bag is still an entitled douche-bag, no matter how beautiful his thighs may be.
