What a wazzock. If his dad can afford the car though, he can afford his sons insurance. To be fair though, Im surprised ANYONE would insure him. Either way, tit. kep it on the track, not on the road. "shake head"

The man was driving with a 19-year-old female passenger and both of them walked away from the accident with minor injuries
That is pretty bloody impressive.

Indeed, price tag does not come only from slapping powerful motor into plastic tub, I think those safety features are good part of big price tag.

I almost laughed to part where it did mentioned police being investigating if driver was speeding, I think it is safe to say that driver was speeding, only thing left to investigate is how much he was speeding.

I think some powerful car had valet mode which did limit throttle and rpm, I guess not that one or then some dad now is cursing why he did not leave that mode on?
