The Cost of a Flipped Car After a World Series Win

By Mike Dang October 31, 2013

“As soon as I told him my license plate number, he asked ‘Did anyone tell you what happened?” Duncan said. “He started chuckling just a bit.”

The car, leased new last year, was totaled, he said.

“The whole top and side is crunched,” he said.

Duncan, a financial analyst for a medical device company, estimates he is out about $2,500, $1,000 for his insurance deductible and $1,500 in new lease fees.

The Boston Globe talked to the owner of “the only car flipped in the whole city” after the Red Sox won the World Series last night. Honestly, I am surprised that it only happened to one car!
