Alex Rodriguez Car Accident! (NEWS)

Alex Rodriguez risked damaging his highly valued body and his highly valued car, as he got into a car accident last thursday in Tampa Florida.

A-Rod was in a minor crash in his Maybach, an elite luxury car that costs almost half a million dollars.

The accident was apparently only a fender-bender in Tampa near the spring training stadium, and made few waves outside of A-Rod and his car insurance overseers.

Yankee spokesmen downplayed news of the accident, indicating it was barely worth commenting on.

The Maybach is a German luxury car, revived in recent years by Mercedes-Benz, that is one of the most expensive on the market, and recently made even more famous as it became a favorite for rappers to name-drop.

Tampa Florida car dealers were likely hoping Alex Rodriguez might be in the market for a replacement, but it looks like they'll have no such luck.
