OUCH ! for the driver, car and rising insurance !

There seems to be a group vying for the lowest time it takes after delivery to TOTAL it.
a guy in 2017 lasted 4hrs in a Dodge Demon 800hp

there has got to be a 4 minutes or less winner out there ! !

I remember story of a person driving off car lot.

I also remember laughing at all the stories of fathers buying their 16 year old sons early model Vipers with no ABS, Airbags or the like. No nanny features at all.

Obviously they were secretly attempting to kill their kids.

I'm sure there's quicker, but this is still right up there.

The Macca dealer is maybe two miles from there. So assuming no detours, it had to be under ten minutes of ownership. Hello, Allstate. I'd like to add a P1. Oh, and also make a claim.

The 4 minute winner:

Video shows driver crashing his $1.4 million Ferrari minutes after buying it

https://bgr.com/2015/11/06/driver-cr...ferrari-video/

It’s hard to feel too sorry for anyone who can afford a $1.4 million Ferrari… but it is certainly possible to feel sorry for the car itself. A video posted by YouTube user Gábor Grubits shows a man in Budapest crashing a $1.4 million LaFerrari just minutes after he bought it and drove it off the lot.

“The driver didn’t say much and hasn’t really been under much of stress after the crash — he lit up a cigar while he was taking out the cover for the car from the trunk,” he explained. “The car slipped out of control when the owner tried to suddenly accelerate.
 The owner blamed the tires being cold for having no grip.”

PS:
"They" always blame the tires...

That's like blaming the gun instead of the person who pulled the sub-6-pound hair trigger that person spec'd.

Please.

It must be the vehicle. Because if you are driving in a responsible manner and obeying all traffic laws, how could this possibly happen???

At least he was sending it, much better than all those jerk offs who abandon them in Dubai.

I used to import exotics and special vehicles in the 90s-early 2000s. We used to get a lot from the Middle East. Most were treated like a Hyundai before we "rescued" them.
