I bet he pays like $40K a year just for insurance.

If you can afford that car........$40k a year is nothing

They aren't saying that, they just have expectations based on their experience with the people who can afford their top end cars- too many of them go to people with more cash than sense.

Besides they sell them for 440,000, I have to believe even a small percentage of that being profit- it's simply good business to sell them.

How many of those 50-60% do you think will result in people buying replacements?

I mean if you have that much money sitting around, what's another 440,000?

Two things Krink:

1. Don't ever take a pic with your car in the background without showing the bling rims

2. Was the driver a 16 yr old with rich parents that opted against an Sti?

"A fool and his money are soon parted" or something like that. There seems to be a lot of fools with a lot of money. If they crash it, they are gonna buy another expensive car. Seems like planned obsolescence at it's finest to me.

Agreed it sucks he crashed it, but most people can't handle a car like that......although a lot of people talk ****.


The way I see it is, at least he drives the car hard unlike those douche bags who can afford a car like that and just buy it for status.

Everyone screws up sometimes, and it's a lot easier in a car like that.

I feel sick after seeing the pictures! The people that waste money like that. Why not just donate it towards cancer research or something like it?

Guy is from the Napa area and went full on into a cow pasture. Sorry everyone, the repairs went way beyone $225K, the car was totalled out. Insurance paid off but I'm pretty sure it would be a cold day in hell before the boy got insurance for a high end toy again. With that much hp you'd better be good or your lunch will be eaten by the hp gods.
