But this guy takes the prize for time and $$$$$$. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/mclaren-650s-crashed-10-minutes-after-own...

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.

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.... ????

first truck, 1969 C10 3-spd, used "junk" lot, still had milk breath, salesman saw me coming, $700 CASH, my entire life savings at that point, got about 700 feet on the black top doing about 35-40 mph, chic hit the brakes in front of me, I hit mine and they hit the floor ... totaled her little import car ... just rubbed the paint off my front bumper ...

cylinder seals were shot ...

early life lesson ...
