This is why many exotic dealers I know even the Porsche guys send their clients to driving school free of charge. Believe certain manufacturers (i.e. Cadillac) do as well.

Meh, used 430. This still takes the cake:

Haha, I'm not sure who he was. Seems like it would be a sports player, but I never saw any details.

Insurance pays for it even though you didn't actually tell them about it yet or pay the the premium?

Thinking at least here that insurance gives you 30 days to tell them about it.

Red Bread · 07-28-2017, 05:44 PM

Hi there, I'd like to add a car to my policy and also file a claim.

What are you talking about? If /s, doesn't make sense.

Anyway, how the heck does one crash like that, even w/ all nannies off?

A car can get really unstable when both rear wheels lose traction, especially a car made/designed for agility.
A slight correction during that moment can swing the back around.

And tarmac can be really slippery in cities.

Obviously the better/better trained a driver is, the better he can handle such situations.

Well, mine was just a rhetoric question, obviously that guy sucks really bad.

GuidoK · 07-28-2017, 10:47 PM

^I dont know, I've never driven an 900+hp rwd hypercar before.
But then again I dont think I would have the balls to drive it with the nannies off and then floor it in a busy urban street, so I probably wouldnt find myself in that situation.

Well, or else there would be crashes everywhere. The guy wasn't even close to pushing it at all and in a straight line. Absolutely atrocious 'driving'.

I guess there is a "shortest time after purchase totaled" record out there somewhere.
I recall last fall a Dodge challenger Hellcat went 38 M.A.P.
(minutes after purchase . . . .ha ha) and kaboom !

They should administer an IQ test, or some kind of driving common sense program before selling those things. I get that as long as they get their money they probably don't care, but I think it makes a brand look bad over time when you see a bunch of idiots using their top end products.
