2. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder: $10 million.
The 1961 car was bought at auction in 2008 for $10 million. But the unfortunate owner, who has not been named, stored the car near a beach in California and it was wrecked in a hurricane and literally buried in the sand.
So, when did Cali start experiencing hurricanes?

California has always had 'hurricanes' but they call them Typhoons.

Better yet, why did he leave a 10 million dollar car parked at da beach with a hurricane coming.............hhmmmmm. I can't imagine an insurance co. insuring this car or paying on this one.

I too, call bull$hit about the hurricane story in CA. I live in a S. CA beach city and we don't have those kinds of weather conditions here. And if we did, no one would be stupid enough to store their $1M+ automobile close enough to get in THAT kind of mess shown in the picture. Something just doesn't ring true in that story.

Now you know why they should build the fence around California instead of putting it between Mex. and the U.S.

Some Num Nuts must have got the story wrong. It obviously looks like Florida, if you have been there. I am from California and that isn't Cali.

That 250 gt Spyder IS A REPLICA! It was not a real ferrari. Also the car was found after KATRINA.

I've lived in CA beach communities my entire life and we do not have hurricanes! That looks like Mexico.

A California hurricane is a tropical cyclone that affects the state of California. Usually, only the remnants of tropical cyclones affect California. Since 1900, two tropical storms have hit California, one by direct landfall from offshore, another after making landfall in Mexico.
Since 1900, only four tropical cyclones have brought gale-force winds to the Southwestern United States. They are an unnamed tropical storm that made landfall near San Pedro in 1939, the remnants of Hurricane Joanne in 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Kathleen in 1976, and Hurricane Nora in 1997 which entered California as a tropical storm. In addition, a recently-discovered and reconstructed hurricane just missed making landfall in 1858.

I'm thinking they are confusing Cali with Florida. Look at the sand...most likely Florida, sand is too white. To be honest...I don't think Cali has had a hurricane in the last century! Ha ha ha!

Hmmm...I'm a native Californian and have never heard of us having any hurricanes....

Since forever? Their hurricanes come from the south pacific. Last hurricane there was hurricane John back in 2006. I swear some people are just UNEDUCATED.

If any of you Einsteins clicked on the photo of the Ferrari you would have seen this:
Witness saw this Ferrari about 3 weeks after Hurrican Ivan. It was just sitting on the side of the beach road (highway 182) in Orange Beach, Alabama
