FBI sued over $750k car

FBI sued over $750k car FBI sued over $750k car. Gets FBI Sued.The FBI has destroyed a $750,000 Ferrari and they don't want to pay for it.You're probably picturing a heated chase, gunfire and a crash that ends with the Ferrari thief caught and cuffed in the back of an unmarked vehicle. Eh, no. It's more like an agent and an Assistant U.S. Attorney went for a joyride claiming it was "official business." Official business or not, the insurance company that owns the totaled vehicle has decided to sue the FBI, and they want  all  their money back.

The R2-BQ is the design of one Philip Wise, master of TheForce.net, Rebelscum.com, and The New Wookiee Workshop, from whence this project comes. Wise is also one of the biggest private collectors of  Star Wars  memorabilia ever.
