I hope the car was his, but it really doesn’t matter. Anyone who owns a car like that can safely be assumed to have a greater than average arsehole quotient.

It was the building’s fault for not signaling. I guess you can’t force architecture to submit.

I hope the building was OK.

All too often people with more money than sense buy a supercar and expect it to drive like a luxury sedan. Turns out that flooring a 720HP vehicle might cause it to go rather fast and in possibly unexpected directions.

I’m reminded of Robin Williams describing cocaine as “God’s way of telling you you have too much money.”

You can get the same effect with a used Toyota MR2 anyways. No need to spend 300 large to experience snap oversteer and hit something

Happened just before 3am.
Could be a plain ol idiot driver, or could be an idiot driver with substances involved.

Substances were definitely involved…starting with gasoline.

… Or a 2004 Saturn L300, which I can attest had some really sensitive oversteer at freeway speeds. (that was a fun car for the three months I had it- 3 liter V6 that could push that thing up to 100+ rather faster than I liked at the time.)

When someone buys one of these things does the dealership offer courses in how to drive them? I don’t imagine there would be many takers from the kind of arrogant dickheads who purchase them, but I am curious if it’s a service that’s offered.

Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, spent over $6M on cocaine throughout his life. If he had invested that money ($10k/month for 50 years) into the S&P 500 instead he’d have over $171 million today Lesson: don’t do cocaine – Nick Magguilli

Oh, good lord, if this is the kind of “financial analysis” Mr. Magguilli offers his clients, he should die in a slow fire.
Clearly Tyler wasn’t “investing” $10K/mo in his coke habit over 50 years.

But what if he’d kept the coke instead of using it? Would it be worth more than $171M?

Maybe, if he’d stocked up mainly in the ‘80s, from what I hear.
I was about to say I’d be curious to see what $6M of coke looks like, but then I remembered that scene from Scarface and changed my mind.
