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.

Watch the move he makes at 8:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFafTo-Vuo8 His runs around in the blue car BH and WEHO were just like this on the daily. One time he punched it from a light on Sunset heading west from Crescent Hts bl. After 1 block he was in a gradual left downhill sweeper (but off camber) and almost lost it slideways into the Pink Taco eatery. That small stretch of Sunset is awesome though during the L.A. Marathon when the ADA Competition is under way. Their race prepped " Wheelchairs" are set up with like 2.5° neg camber. When they fly through that turn it's Committed ! |
