Idiot couldn't handle his new toy in the rainy Metro Vancouver [OC]
Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.
Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
I mean depending on the model of McLaren, it might be on Pilot Sport Cups or some similar borderline track tire. Or just ultra high performance summers. Anything more than moderate rain will make them hydroplane like a motherfucker even when you’re just coasting.
I drive a rear wheel-drive vehicle with no traction control. Even despite the relatively long wheelbase that thing still wants to go sideways on wet tarmac if you apply slightly too much gas. For me the immediate counter-steer is second nature but an inexperienced driver would spin out before they even had time to realize what happened. I can only imagine how much easier and faster that happens on a powerful tiny supercar like that. I'm guessing it's either that what happened here or just good old hydroplaning.
Easier said than done. We're talking about a rear wheel drive rocket on low profile rubber shoes. You try walking on ice with Bruce Smith pushing you from behind lol.
Guys an idiot for trying but Ricky Bobby himself would have trouble keeping 1st place driving that car in those conditions.
If that's the driver in the picture, I just can't help but feel sorry for the guy. His whole life he's been told having a fancy car means he's made it in life, but nobody ever taught him how to not look like a slob. Some financing department somewhere is raking in their 20% on the loan, and the insurance company is happy to provide the absolute minimum coverage required by law.
If you feel the need to show off your penis size and how much money you got with a car I honestly will laugh when you wreck it.
Seriously, I loathe these assholes in Yale town who need to BRROOAAAAAPPPP accelerate to 100km/h for 2 seconds to then having to slam the breaks for the next stop light. If tomorrow they're all crashed and a total loss, I'd be so happy.
It is possible to own an expensive sports car and not be a giant prick who is a hazard to others in traffic. But the people who buy an expensive sports car purely for the pleasure of driving are much more likely to take it to a track than be dumb on the street, because there aren’t a lot of streets where you can really experience the car to its full potential.
A really expensive car can make you feel like an amazing driver, but can also very suddenly reveal if you’re actually skilled enough to drive it. A lot more people have the money for these cars than the money and skills for these cars.
Sadly didn't see one, but it may have just come off on the concrete barriers lol.
He did actually crack the 2nd concrete barrier that stopped him, noticed that as I drove past earlier
Mclarens? The F1’s appreciation makes full rebuilds viable, but besides maybe the Mclaren Senna or a special P1, they’d likely be totaled. Especially if the monocoque is damaged. Carbon fiber repairs are difficult to impossible to certify for safety.
You'd think we would have grown past bodyshaming by this point but apparently not.
As someone who dealt with massive insecurity in my teenage years due to what turned out to be an average sized dick I fucking hate reading comments like this. This same ignorance is what makes people think it's acceptable to make fun of skinny people. By definition 50% of the men reading that comment are below average sized and they don't even own a supercar.
There's a whole second side of that issue too, which never gets discussed because it's literally not visible. Intercourse involves two people, and it works best when both people are about the same size down there.
I think you miss the point. I don't care if somebody has a big or small dick. Personally I prefer the smaller ones, easier fit when the wife helps out. Nobody should ever be ashamed of their penis size and that wasn't the point.
Having said that, I have a problem with people needing to show off that they are so so not insecure! I call it tiny penis syndrome, but call it what you want. Call it "look at my money syndrome", it's all the same. It's all insecure douches showing off to get girls, and they disgust me.
Is there something inherently wrong with wanting a cool car?
If I had the money I would seriously consider getting a McLaren. Not for daily driving, but for track days or taking out on nice days. They’re awesome cars.
We live in a world that is about to get fucked by climate change. If you think a few Forrest fires is bad, wait until entire crops start dying and people want more food and water than the world will be able to produce. Yet here we are producing wasteful shit cars for a tiny amount of people with tiny penises that have the need to let thousands of homeless in the street know that they VROOOOOOMMM VROOOOOMM at four in the morning. Yes, real example.
Then, people who got the money to buy this likely got that money from places where in the end a whole lot of other people got screwed over. The difference between the poorest and the rich shouldn't pass 1:10, yet somehow it passed 1:1.000.000 and nobody has a problem. Here in Vancouver there is an enormous homeless problem, and these assholes can drive around in a stupid overpriced car going nowhere? Can we PLEASE for once tax these assholes, then use the money to properly care for the less fortunate? Why is that so hard? But muy caahaaaaarr! I don't give a fuck.
Then, the people driving these cars (at least here in Vancouver) are the douche types who just can't stop showing off hoe much money they have. You know the type, only wears the absolute most expensive clothes brands, must have at least 5 gold chains, some 100.000 dollar watch, that sort of crap. And then let's VROOOOOOMMM accelerate 0-100 in a 100 meter street only to slam full in the breaks on the next stoplight, then rinse and repeat.
So yeah, fuck all that, get rid of these useless showoff machines.
For every person struggling with corporate price gouging and private rent gouging, there is someone to whom that money is going. This is how they signal their "success".
