A truck driver who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store contest crashed the sports car six hours after he got it, and he now plans to sell the 640-horsepower convertible because he can’t afford the insurance or taxes.

Thousands of people entered Maverik gas station’s “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest in Utah, but David Dopp happened to beat out the other nine finalists at the halftime show of a BYU football game at Lavelle Edwards Stadium in November.

Now the lime green Murcielago Roadster is set to leave for a Las Vegas body shop Wednesday for repairs… “I already had offers on it. I’m going to sell it,” David Dopp said Wednesday. “I have bills more important than a Lamborghini. I’ve got a family to support.”

He said he was taking friends and family on joy rides that evening on the outskirts of town, when he took a curve at 40 or 50 mph when the vehicle hit ice or loose gravel and started spinning.

The car crashed through some fence posts before coming to rest in a field. “Yeah, I got it on Saturday and I wrecked it on Saturday.” Well done friend…well done.
