Of course they did. And in what appears to be a parking lot; precious.
I attended Car Week in Monterey CA in 2009 I think, some huge ass car event for the millionaire set. Lots of great cars there (and many great people; I was in that years LeMons Rally) but you see too much shit like this.
A couple of us Lemons folk watched a rich couple in one of those generic supercar things do a 9000 point turn in a McDonalds parking lot, manual transmission of course, so they're slipping the clutch like crazy because they have absolutely no fkn idea how to drive it.
Those are not good cars. This isn't the 1960s any more. The engineers and drivers that made those famous, for good reason, are all long dead, the businesses now run by their kids to extract cash from fools. They're playthings for the rich whose main feature is that you can't afford them.
has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works,
and appreciate the fact that super cars have terrible turning radius....
probably doesn't know shit about cars making a stupid dumb statement like that. there are so many modern analog cars that have not only more soul, but outperform any older cars by every single metric in terms of reliability, engineering, safety, comfort etc. Case in point : LFA, Pagani Zonda, 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GTR and MANY MANY more.
Oh I realize that. They're not without engineering virtue or history ! (Wasted on most owners of them..)
But they're also snobby status symbols and toys for the rich. And "fast car" is so 1970s... Expensive toys for the rich are an open target for ridicule for me, lol. YMMV!
bro can't even spell LeMans, and has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works, and the fact that super cars have terrible turning circle, but is somehow critiquing about how modern cars suck?
You've really never heard of LeMons? If he races in LeMons then he's probably also a decent mechanic and probably knows a lot more about cars than you do. Just sayin...
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nevertellmetheodds@lemmy.world
Hate to see a nice car damaged like that, but its incredibly satisfying to think about how some rich guy lost a shit load of money because of something stupid
I don’t really care when a rich person makes expensive mistake. Like at all. They’ll be fine and likely won’t have to change a damn thing about their life after fucking up like this.
I see them in my city too and I always laugh. I live on an island where the top speed limit is 100kph, and in the city you can rarely drive faster than 40
