Oh yeah thats what happend stupid tool.

anything like this is a direct result of the looting that happend after we took over

We wouldnt have anything to do with striping a Ferrari of everything you can sell for scrap, we would have brought it back with us or ran it over with a tank.

but its cool keep blaming everything bad in the world on us

Didnt the americans blow up that LM002?
And do you honestly believe that some of those grunts would pass up the chance to smash a window on a 120K+ exotic? Be real...

I think (I could be wrong) most of those guys didn't want to be there in the first place (who would?). When your life is in danger day after day, exotic cars are the least of your concern, I imagine. Give them a break.

I dont have anything against the soldiers, but saying that they wouldnt touch any of those cars is kind of unrealistic isnt it?
(I dont want to start a political discussion) But alot of those soldiers DID sign up to be there, you are not forced to enter the military in the US.

It seems the Iraqi people got in the fray as well.

Basically the same sort of remark. What would you do if you have nothing (no water , no food, nothing at all)? Rethorical question, I guess.

I am real I was in Iraq in 03 then in 04 and in 05 do you really think that these guys would "strip" a Ferrari of parts?

keep thinking that Im not going to change your mind you alreasy made it up but I know with all the gear we already carry I cant imagine to many guys toting around a hood or a door or some rims.

Iraqis did that damage durring the looting the car was outside and striped of parts the little ****s stole everything not nailed down.


I do not know anything about blowing up a LM200. If they did so what it was already in iraq and if it was found after the invasion im sure it suffered a fate close to the ferrari, We wouldnt have been able to just take it out of the country the vehicle thats not how it works.

I have no clue who came upon these cars but so what. makes the other ones worth that much more.

Interesting article about at least one of the garages. Seems they had to use the cars for protection.
