The bad news: Rod Stewart's son Sean just wrecked a Bentley Continental GTC worth about $200,000.
The good news: It was a rental.
We're told Sean wrecked the Bentley on Sunset Blvd., near Boa Steakhouse. It happened at around 3 PM PT. He was renting the expensive ride from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car for $2,500 a day.
The rental place tells us they don't sell coverage on high end vehicles ... so it looks like Sean may be in the hole anyway.
UPDATE: A rep for Sean tells us he was a passenger in the car and a female was driving at the time. We're told she lost control and hit the curb.

He got no love in Dallas, even less in Philly ... and yesterday afternoon, T.O. was S.O.L. in L.A. too.
Terrell Owens faced the wrath of a ticket-writing parking enforcer behind Sunset Plaza after leaving his decked out Bentley in a no-no spot.
It was unclear if he cried about it.
FYI -- You don't have to brand your car with a DUB logo to prove you're rollin' on dubs.

Trouble seems to find its way to Lil' Kim -- the freshly free felon/"Dancing" contestant just had her Bentley repo'd last year ... and now the car is at the center of a grand theft auto case.
TMZ has confirmed the ultra-expensive Bentley actually belonged to record producer Scott Storch, but here's the catch -- dude's lease ran out in '07 and he never gave the car back to the Florida-based leasing company. Instead he gave the car to Lil' Kim at some point in time.
Storch was arrested and charged with grand theft auto for failing to return the car -- and the repo company figured out that he had given it to Kim. Eventually, the repo company went to Kim's place in New Jersey and took it back.
Scott, who's currently in rehab, is set to appear in Broward County Court on May 29. We're told Kim is expected to be a witness in the case.

This one flew under the radar screen for months, but we just learned Scott Storch -- formerly a wildly wealthy music producer for the likes of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent -- has been charged with grand theft auto.
Storch allegedly leased a Bentley but never returned it after the expiration date. It took the leasing company 7 months to find it.
Storch pled not guilty in Broward County Court last Friday.
Fun Fact: Lil Kim had a Bentley repossessed back in '08 -- which just happened to be a gift from none other than Storch himself. We don't know if it's the same Bentley.
UPDATE: Storch's lawyer, Bradford M. Cohen, just released this statement: "We are disappointed in the decision to take a civil dispute and file it as a criminal charge. There are many facts, that when revealed, will clearly demonstrate that there was no criminal wrong doing on behalf of my client."

A wild chase on the L.A. freeways that lasted for hours last night ended with the driver shooting himself -- and during much of the drama, the media believed -- falsely -- Chris Brown may have been at the wheel.
It began at around 8:00 PM. A man driving a Bentley was engaged in a slow speed chase with cops. The way the story went -- police say the man was suspected of assault with a deadly weapon on his girlfriend and was supposed to rendezvous with a woman near the freeway. Word spread it may have been Chris Brown. As usual, the media danced around it dropping hints but never said it -- though they kinda did.
In the end, the driver stopped, there was as standoff and he shot himself in the head. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
We've learned the car had a Chicago registration. The owner had the Bentley and other high-end cars, including Porsches and Jaguars. We're not reporting the name yet.

Take note, pedestrians of Los Angeles -- this could be the last thing you see.
Seal -- whose crazazy driving would put the fear of God in Jeff Gordon -- is now driving around in a new gold Bentley, instead of his usual silver one.
You've been warned.

Paris Hilton began the hot summer social whirl with a three-week trip to the cooler this week, and we've learned her Silver Bentley has a few cooling issues of its own.
TMZ has obtained photos of Hilton's Silver Bentley up on mechanic's blocks at the Bentley of Beverly Hills dealership. Sources inside the dealership tell us that her car was brought in just hours after she checked herself into lockup. The car was apparently overheating, which caused the coolant tank to burst. That's TOO hot!
It's hoped that the car gets out before she does ... or she'll be forced to slum it in her Ferrari or Range Rover.
