This is why they tell you to keep it under 2000 RPM for the first 20,000 miles. It's not about breaking in the car...

This is why you should never ever drive your brand new car on the first day

we can joke because the young rich fella was unharmed. These cars don't come with driving skills or brains as standard equipment.

The crazy thing is the 3RS has tire temps. It’s about as clear as it can be. Cold, wet, new tires. I mean you gotta be doing something dumb on a road like that to have that type incident.

Maybe he didn’t realize the huge wing does basically nothing at the speeds attainable there..,

Should've PPF'd it first.

PPF would've prevented that damage.

Pretty unfair to make statements like that when we have no idea on what transpired. He / she could have been doing everything right, and someone pulled in front of him, or swerved to miss an animal . . who knows.

I cannot imagine getting a car like that at 26. Probably should have checked the box for delivery at PEC so they could get some track time in before setting off on public streets.
