That helicopter ended up crashing at the airport in Coolidge.
The BBC has released the footage of a 2012 helicopter crash in Coolidge, which happened during the filming of a scene for the South Korean version of the automotive show Top Gear.

The crash -- which was not planned -- took place almost a year ago, and involved a military helicopter, the Bell AH-1 Cobra, which was racing a Chevy Corvette ZR1 at the airport in Coolidge.

The $8.1 million 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta was not the most expensive car sold in the Valley this weekend.
Remember that original Batmobile that was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale over the weekend for more than $4.6 million?

Forget about that, because two Ferrari were sold for more than $8 million each at two different, smaller, Valley auctions this weekend.

The Batmobile
Saturday night was a typical Saturday night at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction -- the day the real money is tossed around.

For example, the gentleman who dropped $4.62 million -- four point six-two million American dollars -- for an original Batmobile, and the man who spent $1.1 million to be the owner of the very first 2014 Corvette.

Batmobile -- it's pretty awesome.
For whatever reason, many of us enjoy watching rich people buy cars for one week every year, at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale.

For most people around the country, that experience is given to you through the boob tube, but the in-person experience is a bit more than watching two dudes fight over who gets to throw more money at the same Camaro you could've sworn has been auctioned off 10 times already.
