They are hard enough to drive before you crash em

As i understand it clutch is extremly difficult to properly manipulate when trying to control all that power.

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 ?

Lots of people buy these and other supercars. Lots.
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.

Money can't fix poor judgement
It can however pay fines, lawyers and for a license in a new state.

Engine looks fine.
What happens to this car?
I want a chance to bid on that engine!!!

He probably stopped where he did because he ran out of oil or coolant or both and fried the motor.

When ever you strap in to street legal racecars


You would assume their is some kinda of acknowledgement of risk.

...a small chunk of (say 3") 2 by 4 rem, zip tied under the go-pedal of of his last 3 wrecks might have prevented these disasters. At this point...makes one wonder if he carries his own high value bond to self-insure the cars ¿

Money doesn't buy brains, talent or good taste as they say... (Though this guy may be OK in the taste department.)

It's scary that right now with the empty roads/freeways all the same terrible drivers (sometimes in terrible, broken cars) who normally crawl along at 5-10-15mph are now flying down the 101 and 405 doing 90. I see very little LEO presence too.

Please speculate on what the driver was explaining to the police officers as he pointed skyward.

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.
