In NYC earlier today, you'll see this all over instagram, YouTube, other feeds. Driver (Ben) loses it on city streets, takes out a parked delivery van, obliterates the CGT...then tries to leave the scene while all of the fluids pour out of the carrera, and c/f panels go flying off of the car ! Glad no one was hurt. He was well know for tree and light-pole wrap arounds here in the hills of L.A. Looks like NYC is his habitat of late.

Driver aids are permanently turned off. And visibility doesn't look to great either. But please set me straight here . No body buys these cars ! All that super high end stuff is leased . So its not like you just crashed youre own car . But a reallllly nice rental ? |

Most of them are tucked away and the owners don’t care about YouTube or even letting anyone but their close friends know what they have. I saw one collection that blew me away. The owner drives a Ford Explorer for day to day. |
