4 wheel carnage at STP

Kid got lucky, twice... once for getting to drive the darn thing, and then for surviving his stupidity.

Remember the kid that took his M5 to Travolta's airstrip? Unfortunately, he took a few friends with him when he went airborn, right into a couple of trees.

Hard to understand a parent letting a 17 yo with his buddy behind the wheel of a car like that. Wonder what it costs to insure a kid on that thing!

Coworker is friends with a member of the same car club that this kid belongs to, and yes the car was personally owned by this kid. I believe he's actually 20, not 17... Anyway, apparently he's pretty 'lax about the whole thing, was even quoted describing the incident as "shit happens."

Oh, and the kid already has another Lambo lined up as a replacement, a spyder model I believe.
 
Welp. If he can afford that car (which is more than $350k I believe), then I'm sure he can afford the ridiculous insurance premium. And now the accident surcharge to insure another one.

If he makes a habit of flipping them, maybe a spider model is not the model for him. :laughing

As an aside, that Lambo's roof held up quite well in that rollover.
 
Trickle down economics.

Keeping folks employed fixing shit that happens.

Incidents like this don't sit well with our underlying protestant, puritan sensibilities, which tell us that people work themselves from poor to rich, and from crap driver/rider to accomplished driver/rider, and that their vehicle selection grows with them.

This is why no one blinks when a 22 year old wraps a civic around a tree, and why we can't help but crack a smile when we watch a 60 year old really flogging his Porsche down a back road.

22 year old with a Lambo he can't drive does not compute, therefore, mockery.

That's pretty much exactly how I see it. If an "under 30" type is blowing money on fancy cars, and big houses. It's obvious he couldn't give two shits about his future. That can mostly be thread into, said person not giving a shit about anything else around them other then $$$ and just flat out being narcissistic.

So when I see an "under 30" stacking a $100K+ Ride. Fuck yeah I'm gonna laugh. "Easy Come, Easy go". When you're not old / wise enough to give a shit. You get, what you get.
