Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.

If that's the driver in the picture, I just can't help but feel sorry for the guy. His whole life he's been told having a fancy car means he's made it in life, but nobody ever taught him how to not look like a slob. Some financing department somewhere is raking in their 20% on the loan, and the insurance company is happy to provide the absolute minimum coverage required by law.

My money is on it being a rental

Driver - yes.
Owner - who knows...

If you feel the need to show off your penis size and how much money you got with a car I honestly will laugh when you wreck it.

Seriously, I loathe these assholes in Yale town who need to BRROOAAAAAPPPP accelerate to 100km/h for 2 seconds to then having to slam the breaks for the next stop light. If tomorrow they're all crashed and a total loss, I'd be so happy.

Sorry, zero tears for show offs.

It is possible to own an expensive sports car and not be a giant prick who is a hazard to others in traffic. But the people who buy an expensive sports car purely for the pleasure of driving are much more likely to take it to a track than be dumb on the street, because there aren’t a lot of streets where you can really experience the car to its full potential.

A really expensive car can make you feel like an amazing driver, but can also very suddenly reveal if you’re actually skilled enough to drive it. A lot more people have the money for these cars than the money and skills for these cars.

When I used to race, myself and a few other guys used to embarrass exotics at the track because my Civic cost less than their last major service and I wasnt afraid (financially) of putting it into the wall.

Possible but not probable.

Was there an N on the back?

Sadly didn't see one, but it may have just come off on the concrete barriers lol.
He did actually crack the 2nd concrete barrier that stopped him, noticed that as I drove past earlier

Most likely he'll come up on top as these cars appreciate in value l.

Mclarens? The F1’s appreciation makes full rebuilds viable, but besides maybe the Mclaren Senna or a special P1, they’d likely be totaled. Especially if the monocoque is damaged. Carbon fiber repairs are difficult to impossible to certify for safety.
