It's good idea for 18 year-olds to drive 450hp/$170k cars? Clearly the owner is a responsible driver.

It doesn't count unless you post pictures of it. Better yet, a video from some passer by. That way everyone can discuss your misery

There is over 40K fatalities in car accidents in the States every year. Millions of crashes of all types of cars with drivers of all ages. What is so newsworthy about any accident that makes people who wont post their own misery talk about other people's miseries with snide comments?

450 HP? /$170K? accidents don't discriminate based on age and 450 HP is nothing.

Moab's car looks like he could have possibly had the same hang time.

Maybe it was even a Camry that did it lol! I wouldn't know though, this was courtesy of a bash and run while I enjoyed a coffee oblivious to what had happened
Certainly not the same level as what happened to moab!

Ahh yes classic! Or the mainlander that crashed a McLaren on a test drive. The guy on the phone was on the phone asking his dad for another 200k

Your comments lead me to believe that you didn’t buy your own car. 450 was obviously too much for that driver. And I’ll continue to keep the snide comments coming if I feel like it.
