The Gumball 3000 is a modern day version of the classic Cannonball cross country race that not only takes place here in the U.S. but also in countries around the world. The members of the more money than brains club start off in Los Angeles and then make their way through sin city and across the midwest before coming to an end at the tip of the Florida peninsula in Miami. At least that was the plan, unfortunately for this Aston Martin DB9->ke210 owner, the last leg of the trip included a stop at the freshly repaved Palm Beach International Raceway.

The DB9 driver's fun at the track was short lived, after going into a turn a little too hot, James Bond's ride of choice ended up in the tire wall doing a number on the front end and completely taking out the left front corner of the car. Despite the damage the wall of rubber did its job and the Aston's driver was able to walk away unscathed.

However according to our friends at Wrecked Exotics the rumor is that the Aston Martin DB9 wasn't really the driver's at all, some have said that it was a rental. We just hope he took out the $5 insurance.
