The internet mocked the owner of a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition after he blamed the stick shift for crashing back in 2022. Images of the American supercar with the front end crumpled on the side of a road in Boca Raton, Florida quickly went viral.

Despite all the ridicule, Robert J. Guarini decided to keep and fix the Ford GT. But he’s now claiming that as the supercar was being repaired, he learned it was previously wrecked in similar fashion in Brazil.

Allegedly, this information was hidden from him by the seller, or so Guarini alleges in a lawsuit against the Canadian dealership which sold the vehicle.

That other crash also went viral back in 2015. With a crumpled front end after the supercar hit a utility pole, the owner shipped it to Detroit for repairs. Then he decided to sell it to a dealership in Tampa, Florida. At least that guy realized he couldn’t handle the GT.

But the most eyebrow-raising part of the lawsuit filing is the claim that on the same day the dealership in Tampa bought the Ford GT it was also purchased by a dealer in Arizona and another in Canada, which is being sued by Guarini.
