Too bad, so sad, too much money and not enough sense.

FTX I · 4 December 2014, 05:54 AM

ridiculous

Tri-Tip · 4 December 2014, 08:33 AM

More money than brains. Made the other 374 P1's that much more valuable

RetailSlave · 4 December 2014, 10:07 AM

money can't buy talent.

So how severely damaged does it have to be to 'write-off' a $1.2 M vehicle?

seand442 · 4 December 2014, 01:23 PM

My heart goes out to him. Not really. What a dumba$$.

martinr · 4 December 2014, 01:33 PM

He's young, he has time to save up for another one.

Who can afford this kind of cars, I'm sure he will go back and pick up a new one!
but the question is, who is this guy, and how can he manage all this wealth?
Unless his Daddy who is giving him everything

!

I have 114060 and I feel rich! I don't know if I had 1.2 Million in my account, what will happen to my poor heart lol

Damage the carbon-fiber monocage (combined carbon-fiber monocoque and roof) and its totaled

GradyPhilpott · 4 December 2014, 04:10 PM

That should buff out.

It does reinforce my love for my Honda Accord for street driving.

These guys with powerful engines drive in the same traffic I do and I manage to have a lot of fun, without having to worry about stuff like that.

Full disclosure: I have totaled three cars in my lifetime, so I cannot cast stones.

Andad · 4 December 2014, 04:58 PM

Quite right Grady - accidents do happen.

77T · 5 December 2014, 12:11 AM

The term accident is too kind.

Totaled due to over-optimistic operation with a predictable outcome.

Car doesn't look that bad . . .

adamlea · 5 December 2014, 03:03 AM

I'd like to think I wasn't as dumb at 27, but I probably was.

james1787 · 5 December 2014, 03:36 AM

Well, that's the end of that car. It was only a day off the lot too. I wonder if speed was a factor? Or perhaps someone yapping on a cell phone not paying attention pulled out in front of them.

I watched a jeep that was only 4 days off the lot burn to a shell a few weeks ago. Parts of it were melted to the asphalt. The kid parked it on top of leaves. It took us a while to put it out.. stubborn fire. Stuff happens.

I think if I owned a car with those kinds of capabilities I'd keep the high speed driving confined to the track.

wantonebad · 5 December 2014, 04:13 AM

I'm with you Grady "There but for the grace of God go I" I haven't totaled a car (puh-puh-puh) but I have had track days with some pretty elite automobiles and they are not easy or even safe to drive. The Lambo Murcielago was a total beast and if given the chance not sure I would drive it again.

Look clearly the kid was young and we all equate a young driver as a stupid driver, but like all stereo-types there are exceptions to the rule... That said I'd like to read the police report before I defend him any further!

Dittox · 5 December 2014, 04:20 AM

Hopefully the driver and the passenger aren't seriously injured or those hospital fees will REALLY make them regret the accident

peatnick · 5 December 2014, 06:23 AM

Speed, phone or perhaps distraction from his 24 year old passenger ....
