How to make $1 Million in 30 minutes-bilde.jpg

Smoke began billowing from the back of the exotic sports car as it travelled down Airport
Boulevard late Monday morning. By the time the driver had exited through his gull-wing
door to check on the trouble, flames had engulfed the rear.

But this was no ordinary car fire. A $2 million rare silver McLaren F1 road car, one of only
about 100 made, was ruined, shortly before 11 a.m.

cars like that don't get insured by Geico, so I doubt it - these things are bound to happen, and I'm sure, don't happen as often as most people would think - I'm pretty sure this guy's insurance company will not got out of business paying out this claim... just guessing...
