    I’m sure many of you have seen this, but for those who haven’t, enjoy!



    Makes me feel silly about not wanting to let a California car duster near my paint, lol.

    If I were in my 20's and the son of a billionaire, I could see me doing something stupid like this. Admittedly, he's pretty funny.

    Do it for the Gram! Silly how many people are into this junk. I do not care how much money you have...what is the joy of destroying something so cool and beautiful?

    Agree. I was just trying to be nice. Frankly, the video disgusted me on the lack of respect, but young people that have grown up with money, or have easily acquired wealth, have never respected what it takes to earn it.

    I grew up with my father telling me "you can take the man away from the bus stop, but you can't take the bus stop out of the man". Meaning that money can't hide class.

    Complete lack of respect, regardless of the price or make of car. I couldn’t watch in its entirety but the car did remarkably well on that terrain.

    There is no trademark violation, so no cease and desist will be issued. I understand there is a 2nd video where he does actually destroy the car and totals it. It hasn't dropped yet.

    I can't imagine that car being insurable.

    The car is definitely insurable-- however, WhistlingDiesel likely is not

    @stretchgeneral - In the video he switches out the exhaust.

    Honestly who cares what this dip **** does. He can certainly buy (likely used - not new) any Ferrari or other car he can afford and if he want to modify it and destroy it that’s his lost money (no way insurance would pay for this damage)

    In some ways, it’s similar to all the iPhone videos of people dropping them from buildings or underwater to see how durable they are - it’s just 400x more expensive?
    Granted, it would be good if the vin could be discovered and posted so at least no one would be tricked in to taking over this disaster of a car on the used market.

    Lastly I do like that bubble idea for the car! Kind of cool way to protect it in the garage from errant stuff hitting it (say in a minor earthquake or from teenagers trying to snap photos )

    It is, compared to a NA Ferrari.

    I'm sure any insurance company would deny any and all claims made after seeing these videos.

    Where can you buy that bubble? I'd like to have that during the winter months.

    It would be lame if he completely totaled the car. If he or someone else could still tear it down and build a track car, I say it’s all good. Spending $100-200k to make $1mil? That’s pretty good margins.

    Apparently the car was completely destroyed and the second part of the video just hasn’t been released yet. ‍♂️
