Usain Bolt is Ferrari Shopping

Fast men need fast cars. Take Usain Bolt, for example. In terms of runners, he's the fastest man in the world. He holds multiple Olympic gold medals, along with the records for the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and the 400-meter relay. Unfortunately his speed doesn't seem to translate to driving skills, and the "Lightning Bolt" reportedly flipped his BMW M3 right off the highway. So what is he looking for now? A Ferrari California. The Jamaican sprinter was seen shopping for the Italian roadster recently. If he decides to buy, we're sure he's got the cash on hand, but he might want to take some driving lessons first.

The world's fastest man should be driving the world's fastest car. An SSC Ultimate Aero or a Veyron

A Ferrari California?

It would have been the last new Ferrari that I saw him in.

The California is not blistering fast, but hey, it is a Ferrari...

Considering what happened he doesn't need anything blistering fast. Heck he probably need a Prius.

He might consider another (safe BMW or Benz) German car after the last episode with the M3.

No kidding. The fastest man doesn't need a Ferrari.

It's like why does Spiderman need a motorcycle (ok it's a toy

) when he can web-sling from building to building much faster? bad analogy

I agree 100%, I think it's sad that many people actually identify/associate themselves with the car they drive.
The fastest man in the world is something you can really boast about, the fastest car anybody with money can buy ...
