The internet mocked the owner of a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition after he blamed the manual transmission for a 2022 crash, with viral images showing the supercar’s crumpled front end in Boca Raton. It later emerged the car had been wrecked once before.
Discovering a prior crash adds an embarrassing twist to an already viral mishap. The case is a reminder of how a vehicle’s hidden history can resurface, and how blaming the car rarely persuades skeptical onlookers.
