Vin Diesel damages S2000 on set of F&F4
While filming the latest installment of everyone's favorite overly dramatized street racing flick, Vin Diesel extended his rage from a character in the movie onto the right front bumper of an S2000. The Honda, owned by Ben from Bespoke Ventures and being used as an automotive extra in The Fast and Furious 4, sustained a fair amount of damage to the bumper, right fender and headlamp. There's no word on when Universal is going to be settling its tab for the damages done by Mr. D, but Ben has already got a "Vin Diesel Broke My Car" t-shirt for sale, which should ease the financial burden. That, along with the "Don't tune your GT-R" tee, should complete your summer fashion collection.

I hate when stuff like this happens. It looks like a nice paint job too.

Looks like he probably blew the welds on the manifolds.

And that is why you do not volunteer your cars for movies, TV, or magazines (especially car magazines).

This is why you negotiate good contracts.

I don't know about you but still would rather keep my car in one piece rather than letting someone wreck it even though they'll fix it.

1hour30minutes of advertisement for you car towards your target audience > your garage's tuner car that gets written off at a business expense
seriously they don't care, the car already made more money than its worth

I see what you mean from a shop's standpoint but do you realize that most of the cars they use are owned by random guys who put all their hearts and money into these cars in the greater LA area. I just wouldn't find it worth it to lend them anything of mine like that.

Not a bad way to spend $10,000...

Eddie Griffin still has top honors for "Best Car Damage Related to a Movie." This is the closest thing these guys will ever get to an award for their acting.
