Title: More money than....... Post by old.indian on 05/03/16 at 20:34:32 I remember a guy who totaled his brand new 1970 Honda750 no more than 200 feet from the dealership...(it was his 1st bike... and probably his last..) But this guy takes the prize for time and $$$$$$. ;D ;D ;D http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/mclaren-650s-crashed-10-minutes-after-owner-takes-delivery/ar-BBsAP9A?ocid=spartandhp |

Title: Re: More money than....... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/03/16 at 20:44:48 While it isn't easy to sympathize with the owner, I'm not even gonna Try! it is simple to understand how the car lost control. Hmm, so, it was the Car that lost control, was it? With a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine sending 641 hp and 500 lb-ft to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the 650S scampers to 62 mph in a chest-compressing 3 seconds, And the Very same G forces compressing the chest are Trying to lift that Foot off the blasted GAS.. HE ZAN IIIDIUTT..... With enough money to buy one, so, he can afford to fix it. and on to a top speed of 207 mph. |

Title: Re: More money than....... Post by old_rider on 05/03/16 at 22:13:53 Story leaves too many holes.. Gets delivery, opens champagne and ten minutes later wrecks it? Why allude to the champagne? you cannot be drunk in 10 minutes... well, I can't, and I drink shots of whiskey, doesn't sink in for about 30 minutes or so. Yeah the car has 500 ft lbs of torque, you mean the dealer didn't tell him to keep a light foot? Had the owner ever driven a true sports car? If I were going to buy one, I would at least lease one or rent one, or perhaps have a track day driving one. Kinkda like "oh, I love that helicopter!" then just hop in and fly it.... ???? |

Title: Re: More money than....... Post by Dave on 05/04/16 at 12:04:17 It is sad that he didn't get out of the parking lot. The bike didn't sound like he really hit the throttle hard.....wonder if the tires were just too new/slippery/Armoralled to provide traction? |

Title: Re: More money than....... Post by Kris01 on 05/04/16 at 16:33:53 Didn't look or sound like he did anything wrong. |
