• Y'know, I'm beginning to think that most rich guys are idiots.

    No shit it’s just money and they like to burn it so poor people can’t have any.

    It’s not about the money…it’s about sending a message.

    Yes, and maybe the solution is that society pays them a penis enlargement.

    I'm gonna tell you another thing. King Larry is also Scarecrow. Saw him change into Scarecrow in his car. I saw his whole penis. And it was redder than hell. That's what I'm looking at. A guy's penis that's about to pop. I don't think he washes himself.

    Ego flexing. Just like submitting to a roast. "Look, I'm untouchable."

    But this is how they share the money out. That's going to cost and regular guys will get paid.

    How do you figure that’s enough damage for him to just send it off to the insurance and go buy another one and I would like to point out that the only way most of us will ever be able to afford a Ferrari is buying one like this one from Copart after the dude with more money than sense has completely fucked it!

    The only difference is that actually spending money puts it into circulation

    Maybe not but their kids definitely are

    I'm beginning to think these Ferraris that fall off the road when you touch the throttle, are actually just shit. I'm pretty sure I could make a car incapable of going in a straight line for a lot cheaper.

    Could always just buy a Mustang. I've seen enough videos of them leaving car shows to know that no matter how many times you have it professionally aligned, it's always going to pull towards the crowd on the side of the street as soon as you touch the throttle. 🤣

    Actually this was a mechanic taking it for a ride :-/

    Yeah Dutch dealer plates, right? Someone is getting some spankies!

    Shouldn't have turned off traction control.

    Most people are idiots. Some people just can afford to break more expensive shit.

    I agree with this statement

    Idiocy of driver mustn’t be major reason. Ferrari isn’t anything special in terms of handling. Comparing to e.g.: super sport Mercedes is Ferrari very bad car due to handling and engine-> drivetrain power distribution. With cold tyres it is what you see on many of videos on web.

    Probably, driver disabled traction control to do a burnout.

    I believe the control joint failed, but could be wrongs this was like 2 years ago

    You’re making wrong assumptions and it doesn’t suit you.

    It does so suit me!

    If so, it doesn’t suit you well.

    I doubt you saw most rich guys doing stupid things, just some of them, so the right conclusion is: Some rich guys are idiots.

    Most rich people are idiots. Hard to learn life lessons, when you or a family member has enough money to get bailed out from the consequences of one’s actions.

    Its taken you this long to figure that out? Wait till you get old enough to watch someone get money then become an idiot because they dont have to do anything for themselves anymore.

    Y'know, when someone starts a comment with "Y'know" it usually means they're being ironic. Except this comment... ironically.

    They’re just normal people with money. You know how often this shit would happen if Ferrari level performance were available for the average 400 credit score Chevy spark owner?

    Not necessarily. This is in the netherlands. Green license plates means “test drive car” so probably some rich wannabe took it for a “spin”

    Trustfund babies

    I think he definitely have insurance

    based on a video where a car mechanic took the ferrari on the spin?

    In that case, the problem was just a suspension that broke right there and caused the crash. Seen the evidence in another post

    Acho q 99% dos herdeiros são. Os poucos q conseguiram o dinheiro com trabalho duro devem ser mais tranquilos na questão de fazer merda. mas na maneira geral rico é desgraçado.

    99% of people with money come from old money anyway

  • this was a pretty known one about 3 years ago. it was the mechanic that took it for a "test drive". i believe that the young lad eventually found a different carreer path.

    Dutch road, green license plate, inexperienced driver... Garage owner must have had a great day.

    A44, bij Wassenaar?

    Indeed, next to Wijdehorst!

  • How the hell does that happen????

    If I had the means, I'd be afraid of buying one of these cars for fear of accidentally wanting to push the gas pedal and ending up destroying my car in a ditch. I see so many videos of this

    These cars are safe because they are built for rich idiots that will mash the throttle and not die. It's A LOT of fancy software and sensors that enable *any* driver to control this. Behind the software and the sensors, there is a car. A mid engine car with 50/50 weight balance, rear wheel drive and a lot of horsepower. With traction control off, mashing the throttle will make it haze the rear tires. It will then want to spin because of the weigh distribution. An untrained driver can not save it. This is built for agility and performance. Without the electronic training wheels, only racing drivers can really drive it to its limits.
    A modern supercar is perfectly safe to drive for anyone as long as the electronic training wheels stay on. If you turn them off, you should be able to either handle the consequences or afford a new Ferrari.

    Makes sense. Appreciate the explanation

    My dad explained some of the techniques for recovering a vehicle, such as how to back off the gas and use counter-steering until you regain traction on the rear wheels, when he was teaching me how to drive. It took a few years before I needed to apply them in an IROC, on a cloverleaf freeway ramp with horrible pavement, on a night where it had just started drizzling. It barely took any throttle to break the wheels loose in those conditions, and I knew that, but my mistake was not waiting until I was completely straightened out before trying to get up to speed to merge.

    My girlfriend in the passenger seat was not amused and kept repeating "we're gonna die" the whole time we were fishtailing. Longest seconds of my life.

    This is how every Midwest dad teaches their kid to drive especially in the snow. One of the first things I learned was how to let off the gas, never slam the brake and counter steer. Second was how to get up a hill covered in snow by just moving the tires slightly back n forth. Saved my ass so many times. Thanks dad!

    Also probably the shortest date of your life I imagine.

    Full lock right!

    Said the Ferrari driver while the back got out a bit during acceleration.

    Full lock right and then let's let off the gas right as the front tires begin to grab! What's funny is a bet if they didn't turn left again they would have done a nice 360 and saved it.

    This is why they says Miatas and the like are the best track cars. We can push them to their limits, and its fun. Anything thats actually high end performance takes a lot of training to drive at the limit.

    This is a great explanation.

    That being said, I honestly don't think 99% of drivers want or need direct control over the throttle. If I floor it, I want the car to go fast. I'm fine with the car using software to figure out how.

    Would you want it to pause while it works that out, cars that do this have hesitation and it feels awful. Plus its mostly done to protrct cheap fragile gearboxes.

    If the choices are "pause" or "violently lose control" then I guess pause? Obviously it's ideal if it works smoothly, but it's not better to just spin out and crash.

    We had a local driver with a Viper take a similar hard hook into a street light pole a couple of summers ago. No traction control in the car I heard.

    Ya the first gen vipers had none of that stuff and it was a known death trap because of it.... I want one soo bad lol

    Always now the Ferrari (hyper/supercar) is out to kill you....keep the safety on to prevent that.

    Well I can't even afford one of the training wheels, so I don't have to worry.

    The car in the video had all the safety features turned on though.

    This guy supercars

    Most people who can afford to buy these cars aren’t afraid to wreck it.

    Im afraid to wreck into one. My policy might not cover the damages if I hit one.

    It's not as bad tbh. I like to rent some sportscar on vacations just for fun ... the first time was a Dodge Charger SuperSnake for example. I was terrified of driving out of the garage. Never had this many HP under the hood before and "trapped" in a Labyrinth of expensive cars and reinforced concrete.

    You can imagine how cautiously - even cowardly - I slowly pressed the gas Pedal with my big toe only .. creeping forward and probably never exeeding 5 km/h in that Garage. I was a little more relaxed once I was on the Street, but still terrified of what I imagined would happen if I pressed "the Pedal to the metal" - until I stopped at a toll booth at like 3 am with 4 or 5 lanes - standing somewhere in the middle of the lanes - with no other cars visible before or behind me.

    That was the moment I was like "you know what? Fuck it. Lets see what this car can do." So I did exactly what I was terrified of before: Pedal to the metal.

    The car was suprisingly stable, tough you needed a firm grip of the steering wheel and had to accept some loss of traction (and not freak out about it). And I exeeded the 65 mph limit briefly by like 20 mph for a few seconds until I realised it. It was fast, but not nearly as hard to control as I imagined.

    From there on, I was the most chill driver I've ever been before in that car. And I kept renting other sportscars for fun at vacations... with similar expieriences.

    A little Disclaimer: I've only driven modern cars with some assistance. If you'd turn all of them off, it would probably be another story. But I've only done that at a private track once ... wouldn't recommend doing this at normal trafic

    Bingo. Fast money = fast spending. Or dude didn’t own the vehicle and this joyride is an expensive one.

    People that acquire large sums of money are not yeeting it on dumbass cars unless they have so much money it doesn’t matter. But raising the ceiling of success just usually leads to a new ceiling and nobody wants a 250k shitty depreciating asset to cause them to be further than their goals

    You can go drive like 3 different cars similar to these around a track for like less than $300 lol

    Turned off traction control prior to and forgot or turned it off by accident then smashed the gas to pass the truck and bingo bango in the ditch he go!

    They don't learn incrementally how to do this electing, instead to wing it and fail spectacularly.

    Maybe it’s enthusiasts getting themselves confused with experts and turning off all driving aids like the pros do.

    1. Turn off traction control;
    2. Throttle down hard enough to break traction but not enough to really spin up the drive wheels, causing the rear of the car to try to overtake the front (“fishtail” or oversteer or skid, as you like);
    3. Get scared and lift completely off the throttle abruptly.

    This is called “lift-off oversteer” and it occurs when the rear tires have already lost traction but the front tires haven’t; the abrupt throttle lift causes the car’s weight to move rapidly to the front wheels, further reducing the traction available to the already-spinning rear tires [e: and simultaneously increasing traction at the front]. This allows the angular momentum of the rear trying to pass the front to continue unabated [e: while keeping the front of the car planted to the road for that momentum to pivot around], since there’s much less force pushing down at the back of the car to force the tires into contact with the road. In this case it is exacerbated by the fact that it is a mid-rear engined car (ie the engine is behind the driver but in front of the rear axles) so the momentum of the back end of the car is already higher than a standard front-engined vehicle would be, but the engine’s weight is still in front of the rear wheels so its weight doesn’t provide much if any advantage to recovering traction once it is lost.

    This person tried to show off and [e: didn’t] know how to control the car at all in a traction-loss situation. They thought that using the traction control button was free, but it turns out to have been quite expensive for them.

    Cold or worn tires, too much throttle, no run off room, lack of driver inexperience

    or all of the above

    finding out what the TRAC OFF button does

    Among the possibilities posited, another is that for their own entertainment they’ve broken it loose and smoothly reigned it in Dukes Of Hazard style a few times on streets or roads elsewhere that have a decent level of invisible dust built up on the tarmac, don’t know about the dust, and right here are planning on doing it just the same but don’t know that they’re on legitimately clean tarmac that’s pretty different from their other roads.

    It does look more like they’d just going for a pass forgetting that they’re not in their old Lexus SC430, stomping it, and it’s their first time breaking it loose and they panicked & let off the gas instead of powering it out.

    You don't power out of a spin in a rear drive car, that only works in FWD. You counter-steer until the car is generally back in the right direction and then gently apply throttle to get the rear wheels synced back up.

    This was a full send possibly followed by panic braking.

    You clearly have never driven a rear-mid engine car.

    You got me. If I ever get the oodles required for one I'll make sure to pay attention at the driving course they usually offer with them.

    Cold and possibly old tires, stiff suspension, inexperienced driver.

    Track / race mode turns off the traction control. Stamp on the 700bhp peddle with cold street tires and this is the result.

    Guessing they turned off all traction control to have some fun. I only do that in winter in snow covered parking lots. When I had a charger, i never turned it off due to fear of wrecking.

    Turn the traction control off, plant the right foot firmly on the go pedal, panic, and start turning the steering wheel in all the wrong directions.

    Traction control was turned off

    More power than brains

    Buying the car without the skill to drive it.

    Yes, that is the bottom line!

    Idiot buys fancy car without learning how it controls different from normal, tries to show off on the road, over revs the engine, loses traction, over corrects and ditch.

  • Second one Ive seen in 2 days. Do these things have no traction control?

    They do BUT people like to turn it off for the sounds of burning their money via tires squeal

    This one is about three years old. We’ve seen this one many times.

  • All he has to do was not that

  • If you are not used to driving a high powered sports car this is what happens more hp than anticipated over correct the steering brake at the wrong time and bingo

  • Friggin banana peels!

  • More money than brains

  • Is this bad for the car?

    Yes. Driving is bad for the car.

  • It appears as if someone with deep pockets ran out of talent....

  • Seems its hard to keep those expensive cars in a straight line.

    Don’t turn off TC….

  • Poor car, but that shit is funny…

  • Seems like it might be a good idea to get some training on how to safely drive something like that.

  • Did they try to floor it??? Otherwise how do you lose control that slow on an open highway????

    Saw a post about this crash, apparently rear suspension failed on it causing the crash.

    I think they succeeded in flooring it. They tried to keep it straight after flooring it.

  • That's what they get for showing off

  • This is why I left my friend’s corvette in traction control mode when he had me drive it back from Phoenix. I just had no desire or need to destroy his car because I couldn’t handle the 475hp motor.

  • What sort of bellend loses a car in a straight line.

  • La Ferrari n'est pas responsable de l'idiot qui la conduit

  • Rich people getting immediately punished for their stupidity and vanity is satisfying.

  • Saw a squirrel and wanted to chase it.

  • I could watch this type of video all day long if i could hear the conversation when they have to call their Dad

  • More money than sense

  • what a twat lmao on public busy roads too

  • I'm confident that I'll never be able to afford a Ferrari of my own but I'm glad I'll never look as much of a dumbass as this dude

  • I love that for him

  • She was waiting for the auto to correct itself. Unfortunately, she had turn traction off.

  • That’s gonna hurt…your pocket

  • Left front tire psi was off by .314 kpsi

    Filled with regular air instead of nitrogen.

  • Another knoblet that turned off traction control and used too much power

  • This is like twice now I'm seeing these Ferrari's crash. Why are these owners pressing on it?

  • Love this fast car

  • Ha! Made to roller skate. Should have bought a Honda.

  • Hey they’re not for everybody.

  • Subjectivly, i see a lot more videos where ppl crash a Ferrari then videos where someone crashes another supercar.

    Does Ferrari not belive in electronic assistents or is my perception just coincidence?

    My guess is there are just that many more Ferraris than other super cars.

  • Showing off beyond what is already obvious - yes you have a Ferrari and can ‘afford’ to pay for it - results in making you look like a rich idiot.

  • I don't buy Ferrari for that reason alone... I don't want it to become a million dollar trash

  • If your rich enough to buy one. Your rich enough to take lessons on how to drive one.

  • Needs new tires

  • “Lucy! You got some ‘splainin’ to do!”

  • Not a car person. Can someone explain why supercars often lose traction like this?

  • Nerds have lots of money but no skill

  • Offer the insurance company 75 bucks for it

  • What a idiot 🙄

  • Should've bought a helicopter

  • 1 tap, totalled 😩

  • Whoops there it is

  • Lmao “lemme just turn tc off for a sec… ok, lil 2nd gear pull… ok -$400k.

  • He knows he can't park there, right ?

  • [deleted]

  • Definitely doesn't know "torque"

  • The manettino switch on this Ferrari was set to CST, commit suicide today. It means no traction control and he floors it.

  • If you are going to flex without the car’s assists then practice on a track or empty parking lot first. See a lot of videos like this. You won’t master it, but will learn how to drive it and understand the car.

  • Was this before of after he made a video about how to become likeable/successful?

  • If you're going to make the already controversial decision of buying an Italian sports car, then at least get a Lamborghini and take some lessons on how to operate it properly.

    That way you actually own the car, and you down own yourself with the car.

  • That’s a shame…

  • Gas>brakes-DSC=crash

  • Can these mother fuckers PLEASE pay for the fucking advanced driving courses like you got the money man. The M driving school is sick, I bet Ferrari is even better like cmon

  • Good tires, but certainly not great tires.

  • Fun car, poor driver.

  • Yall, don’t turn off the traction control. You think you’re a badass. Are you willing to bet 300k you are?

  • But srsly guyes, what happend here? I mean the road is straight, so he wanted accelerate probably, but turned somewhere, so did he use a hand brake or turned to right, accelerated more than should, or what? And this is not viper, which lives their own lifes and wanna kill evething inside. Can anyone explain, I am not a millionair, so do not have experiences with. thx.

  • Luckily there’s plenty more of those.

  • Sounds like traction control was off or that system preventing wheel spin. Ow well, this was near to my home. Too bad for the car.

  • that was AWESOME 👍

  • Any experienced driver could comment on what happened here. Suddenly loose traction at a relatively low speed?

    Most likely, he turned off traction control to show off, and these cars have crazy acceleration

    Oh, that makes sense. I never thought it could get so out of control just by accelerating. Thank you.

  • Yeah that guy should pay more taxes

  • Cant park there mate

  • Did they take wheel controll off or something

  • Got off relatively easy considering the circumstances.

  • Oh that fence!

  • Jeez.. how much power do these things have.. just a rev and all hell breaks loose..

  • isnt this the car mat armstrong currently building in his latest project?

  • Must have been tired needed a dirt nap

  • It’s odd that Ferraris and pickups both still use a binary on/off throttle pedal, when most vehicles have migrated to a proportional control.
