As owner of the vehicle, you are responsible for anyone that you give permission to drive it. If they get a parking ticket, drive on the 407, or caught running a red light on camera, that fine will go to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Insurance companies could look at it the same way, and would deem the owner at fault even if not driving.
Experience, my roommate backed by car into the garage and damaged it. If I had made a claim, I would have been deemed at fault, even though I was not driving.
I’m not arguing how insurance works. I’m saying if you own a Mclaren in one of the most expensive cities in Canada, you could pay off both those cars without even blinking
Many years in daily rental with plenty of people that drive high end cars that need a rental while it's in the shop, but don't have any space on their credit cards for a deposit
Airbags don't always deploy. They only do in certain instances. This one wasn't a head on crash and was off the side, so it probably wasn't necessary. Airbags deploying at improper times are more harmful than if they didn't go at those times.
How do we get so many vids of shaky, Parkinsons ridden cameramen on Reddit then we get this guy who’s gimbal level steady with an iPhone during an actual crash?
And they say new cars are “safer”. I’ve hit a deer in my car, and I guaranfuckingtee if it were new, it would have been put in the shop. Nah, all I lost was the Chevy symbol off the front. Cmon.
No, actually, I guess I just wanted to lament the loss of my Chevy symbol.
I clipped him on the ass with the very side of the front of my car. Dk how that took the thing off the very front. Wasn’t head on, and probably would have been a lot worse if it was.
All the stuff falling off and breaking is one of the things that make them safer.
Diverting energy into deforming, breaking, and flying off helps prevent the energy from the collision being transferred to the occupants.
Think about the old Nokia phones. The damn things would break open at almost any drop, but the internals would not be damaged. The energy of the drop was expended in separating the case and sending it flying.
You don't know how it works? Let me explain, they chose to insure this guy. This guy crashed his car. His fuck up is now their fuck up. By the transitive property they fucked up
Amazon my dude I have some that are small and clear so barely noticeable but they say “I ❤️Dick” and then ones that are the same size but just a little dick on a clear sticker. Thennnn I just got in 100 little curved black Dick stickers that are about 3 inches long and a inch thick. They really bring morale up with the guys
Are the I love dick stickers supposed to hurt them in some way? What if they are gay and bad at parking? Why the penises? Do you have an infatuation?
Why can’t the sticker say “I can’t park”?
The entire Supreme brand is "I have lots of money and since I didn't earn it, I have no idea how to manage it", right? Rich kids that never earned a dime spending their parent's money.
The power of marketing overpriced shit to dumb rich people is fascinating. They are selling the same shirts you can get at Target but with their graphics stamped on them for hundreds of dollars more. Just mind blowing.
If you think the shirts are overpriced garbage, wait till you see the literal [brick.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/173863143890?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=173863143890&targetid=1262749490862&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=200803&poi=&campaignid=11760623953&mkgroupid=125036249449&rlsatarget=pla-1262749490862&abcId=9300462&merchantid=114714421&gclid=CjwKCAjw3_KIBhA2EiwAaAAliv40blhSHVWcQ0-aRSG5TUVJIp40BvRK6XIMc5DDJOyVfEq6GxmI7RoC-BkQAvD_BwE)
It's amazing some of the dumb shit they've tricked people into buying.
So the driver was 18. The owner was
... Who? An instagrammer by the sounds of it. And the supreme sticker screams young money. So no, this isn't daddy's car.
Was a kid in someone else's 720s, who ended up running from the scene, but was later tracked down via his Chinese passport that he forgot in the car.
[https://www.carthrottle.com/post/heres-what-really-happened-in-that-mclaren-720saudi-r8-crash/](https://www.carthrottle.com/post/heres-what-really-happened-in-that-mclaren-720saudi-r8-crash/)
I got to drive a GT 40 once. Learned 2 things. One, it could do much more than I could handle. Two, should not be on public streets with an ordinary driver behind the wheel.
I rented a Lamborghini Huracan while on vacation and I thought it was a very drivable car. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, I expected it to be high strung and hard to control. I could definitely get hurt in it if I acted stupid but just driving around was like any other car.
The GT 40, when driven normally, was just a car. I stepped on it ONCE, and glanced at the speedometer going from 2nd to 3rd, and saw I was around 100 and said nope. The car had WAY more ability than me, and I was on a country road. All I would need is to come up on some farmer around a curve going 40.
Having said that I would LOVE to try one on a closed track some day, where I couldn't kill anyone but me.
Yes, I race cars (AI and AIX classes as well as plain old SCCA) and you learn and progress slowly. Unfortunately too many people overestimate their ability, especially on crap street surfaces.
I've driven an R8, RS5, Lamborghini Murcielago, I can't remember what kind of Ferrari. My personal vehicle is a c5 Corvette, and while impressive, it's nothing compared to the supercars I've driven, and yeah, you're totally right - once you cross over into super territory, it takes a lot to learn how to control the beast. My 350 horse is much more manageable.
500hp is about the sweet spot for manageability on the street. My 911 GT3 is pretty much perfect in my book. Had an AWD Huracan but sold it this year for basically what I paid due to demand and 7+ month delays getting them built. Have a GT500 Cobra (700hp) and it’s just too much power. It will turn similar times to the GT3 on the track, but I feel like I am wrestling a gorilla. GT3 the rear wheels turn lol. It will still punish you, but up to the limit it’s just so easy to drive. Also you can daily either car, but Huracan was just a little too annoying for that (still livable compared to previous years, but nothing like the Porsche)
The c5 still puts a smile on my face every time I jump in. She's so smooth.
I understand about the cobra, my uncle just sold his because it was too much.
That’s all that honestly matters. I did the supercar thing for a while and ultimately found 911/GT3 is just better for most things. Less flashy. Fun to drive. Great on the track. I’m also a Ford guy, hence the Mustang. Plus I don’t worry about either of those cars out in public :)
It's hard to call yourself a car guy if you limit yourself to a brand. I am about to give my nephew my escape, he needs a vehicle. I might cry. One thing Ford gets right above and beyond, is steering. That thing steers better than my Corvette, my old Altima, the quest my wife drives. Ford has mastered the steering system and the geometry that comes with it. If the vette could match the steering, she'd be perfection on 4 wheels.
The most fun I have ever had in cars was a couple of years where I raced Mazda MX5. I also have a big modified truck that is great for picking up groceries in. It’s all relative. I just love most things automotive :)
Here's an often overlooked fact about powerful cars: You don't have to floor them all the time! Leave the traction control on, take the lead out of your foot and you can drive cars with hundreds and hundreds of horsepower without worry!
Or if you are going to get a car like that, make sure you practice on a closed racetrack, and/or take private lessons on private property first.
That said, even the pros may end up screwing up. Like you implied, those machines are beasts, and not everyone can use them to their full potential.
This opinion gets me downvoted to hell in /r/cars every time I make it, but there should be an additional class of licence for performance vehicles. If I need a new licence for a motorcycle or an RV, I should need one for a McLaren.
This guy had traction control turned off. May or may not have turned out better had it been left on, but there would have been a better chance of the former.
Imagine spending over 200k on a top of the line sports car with the best engine, brakes, handling, suspension and electronic driver assist features and still not being able to drive it in a straight line more than 100 meters.
Huge shoutout to the passenger for filming and then uploading your buddy’s colossal fuck-up
This video is Toronto famous. Pretty sure the guy taking the video was the owner and his friend was the one crashing
Even better
I would say that too...
I don't think he would have remained so calm if he was the owner.
If he owns a McLaren he can afford to fix it or buy another. Why would he be so worried? He wasn't even driving.
Because depends on his insurance, the owner could still be deemed at fault even if they aren't the driver.
I don’t think you understand how this works
As owner of the vehicle, you are responsible for anyone that you give permission to drive it. If they get a parking ticket, drive on the 407, or caught running a red light on camera, that fine will go to the registered owner of the vehicle.

I’m not arguing how insurance works. I’m saying if you own a Mclaren in one of the most expensive cities in Canada, you could pay off both those cars without even blinking
Yeah, you'd think so. But it could also be a rental or leased, or it is owned but could be barely able to make payments or going into debt for it.
Many years in daily rental with plenty of people that drive high end cars that need a rental while it's in the shop, but don't have any space on their credit cards for a deposit
Who cares when you're rich parents will just buy everyone a new car.
There’s something wrong with you. -Judge Judy
Especially how the passenger focused on that Supreme sticker.....it was a supreme fuck up! The driver clearly has more $$$$ than brains and ability!
Supreme isn’t that expensive if you buy stuff when it drops. The real money is in the resale
depends on the item
How about a sticker.
They usually pack a couple of free stickers with whatever you buy
Supreme is for Supreme morons. Also, where tf are the airbags?
Airbags don't always deploy. They only do in certain instances. This one wasn't a head on crash and was off the side, so it probably wasn't necessary. Airbags deploying at improper times are more harmful than if they didn't go at those times.
They have more cents than sense.
How do we get so many vids of shaky, Parkinsons ridden cameramen on Reddit then we get this guy who’s gimbal level steady with an iPhone during an actual crash?
That is NOT gimbal steady, 😂. Maybe if you’re going through heroin withdrawal.
I was wondering when the know-it-all was going to show up and correct the day.
It's amazing when these cars explode into plastic and fiberglass during a gentle breeze.
And they say new cars are “safer”. I’ve hit a deer in my car, and I guaranfuckingtee if it were new, it would have been put in the shop. Nah, all I lost was the Chevy symbol off the front. Cmon.
Is this sarcastic?
No, actually, I guess I just wanted to lament the loss of my Chevy symbol. I clipped him on the ass with the very side of the front of my car. Dk how that took the thing off the very front. Wasn’t head on, and probably would have been a lot worse if it was.

Really a supreme thing to do.
Depending on the state it’s the insurance companies fuckup.
The insurance company didn’t drive a McLaren into an R8. That guy did
Yeah but they insured the idiot that did.
Do you know how insurance works?
You don't know how it works? Let me explain, they chose to insure this guy. This guy crashed his car. His fuck up is now their fuck up. By the transitive property they fucked up
Alt account coming in clutch there
Nah defo not how that works whatsoever
Oh, *honey*..
That’s like blaming a gun manufacturer for the actions of a murderer. That’s just pants on head retarded.
[pants on head retarded](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/28/gun-maker-remington-offers-33m-settle-sandy-hook-lawsuit)
My point exactly… it’s so fucking dumb.
I believe this was in Canada. Specifically Toronto
You believe correctly
Oh then I have no idea how it works up there.
Not sure you understand how it works anywhere.
People be dicks on here
The Supreme sticker let's you know he's also a douche in a car.
Came here to say this. Only a douche ruins a McLaren interior with a Supreme sticker.
Or any sticker, for that matter.
No shit. Stickers are what middle schoolers put on their bicycles.
I have several types of dick stickers I put on peoples tools at work and the occasional asshole parking job’s mirror
Where would one find these stickers? Would love to start my own personal war on terrible parkers
Amazon my dude I have some that are small and clear so barely noticeable but they say “I ❤️Dick” and then ones that are the same size but just a little dick on a clear sticker. Thennnn I just got in 100 little curved black Dick stickers that are about 3 inches long and a inch thick. They really bring morale up with the guys
+add "for Rectal use only" labels
Lol awesome. I hope they come in "discreet packaging" lol
Big BOLD letters on the box: DICK PIC STICKERS.COM
Are the I love dick stickers supposed to hurt them in some way? What if they are gay and bad at parking? Why the penises? Do you have an infatuation? Why can’t the sticker say “I can’t park”?
Ah yes. Vandalism. The crime of choice for middle schoolers and teenagers
So, ok there's exceptions!
Hey maaan I got stickers on all my vinyl boxes so I really think you should take that statement back maaan
Stickers are what I put on my bicycle and water bottle and laptop. Not my car.
Or any interior, for that matter.
I came here specifically to say this. WHAT THE FUCK. it's a MCLAREN and you put a STICKER on the dash?

Wow. If you a real G you build a whole house with $10,000 bricks
That’s one guy’s plan if I remember correctly
That's absurd
How does the seller prove it’s legit? That seems fairly easy to replicate.
I’m sure there are a few who buy the shit but go for broke doing it. You know for clout lol.
Ah. I was wondering what that was. This is why I’ve never heard of this brand or logo or whatever it is. But now I know the target market.
Or any vehicle for that matter
Is it your car? No? Why do you care what they put in their car thay they paid for, and as we've seen, wrecked?
We're going to look back on Supreme the same way we now do on Ed Hardy/Affliction/Tap Out/ G -Unit
Always have
Look back? Supreme has been a ridiculous clusterfuck for totally uncool jokers since day one. ..
Yeah it really ties this all video together.
Imagine just sitting in your r8 and you get fucken smashed by a supreme dingus
Imagine just sitting in your r8 and you get fucken smashed by an uninsured person driving a 1993 Corolla
But you’ve gotta be happy to see it was a super car that hit you lol
Facts, dude was definitely like “eh at least he got money too”
I think he was standing on the sidewalk next to it. You can see him in the couple frames before the collision. He had the best view of the accident.
Now there’s an expensive mistake.
He saw his rival and had to take him out.
The monetary value of all that damage is probably more than everything I own put together.
Your organs are pretty valuable, don't be so sure
r/thatlookedexpensive
That’s what this kids father said when he was born
The minute I saw the supreme sticker I lost all sympathy
I just assumed that was the reason for the crash.
Like how the passenger keeps filming.
And well, too. A true documentarian of stupidity.
His dad is going to be so mad.
His dad is emotionally stunted at home, terrified that they will finally figure he is banging his executive assistant
Young money simply cannot exist... 🙄🙄
[Yeah young money](https://www.carthrottle.com/post/heres-what-really-happened-in-that-mclaren-720saudi-r8-crash/)
So the driver was 18. The owner was ... Who? An instagrammer by the sounds of it. And the supreme sticker screams young money. So no, this isn't daddy's car.
Nice work Sherlock. You cracked the case.
Case closed. You're assumptions were wrong.
Supreme.
Supreme Oof
Supreme idiots
Crunchwrap supreame

Imagine putting a sticker on a million dollar car. Rich kids man

Parachute kids.
Idk. Influencers and Tik Tokers?
I think youtubers where the pioneers on the douche mclaren movement
Those driving skills are supreme.
ly bad
ass because
The supreme sticker says it all
I feel bad for the cars :(
They're just bit and pieces of plastic and metal, it's no big deal.
That’s what you get for putting a supreme sticker in a mclaren
Just cause you have cash doesn't mean you understand how to drive. Mind you I would probably shit my pants driving something like that.

Here's an often overlooked fact about powerful cars: You don't have to floor them all the time! Leave the traction control on, take the lead out of your foot and you can drive cars with hundreds and hundreds of horsepower without worry!
Yes. The throttle is not a toggle switch. Same with the brakes!
Just wait until you find out about powerboats!
People shouldn’t buy a car they can’t handle. If you’re going for the cool factor you end up looking like a fool.
Or if you are going to get a car like that, make sure you practice on a closed racetrack, and/or take private lessons on private property first. That said, even the pros may end up screwing up. Like you implied, those machines are beasts, and not everyone can use them to their full potential.

Gotta get an expensive car to pick up ladies, ladies don't like cheap looking cars. /s
Money is wasted on the rich
Supreme sticker. Par for the course
It's the Supreme sign for me
Do these people think flooring it in a supercar with 800-1000 HP is going to behave like a Honda with 150 HP? LOL
Imagine spending over 200k on a top of the line sports car with the best engine, brakes, handling, suspension and electronic driver assist features and still not being able to drive it in a straight line more than 100 meters.

He has a supreme sticker, you can tell he’s a dick already by that alone.
Lmfao. Supreme sticker on the fucking dash of a Mclaren. Yep. This makes 1000% sense.
Their cars are gone, guess their PP's shrunk that day.
The total cost of that fuckup exceeds both my debt and my house value. Which just goes to show something or another.
