must be nice to have more money than brains...

A $750k car, probably totaled.

Florida man.....

It can be fixed for much less than the purchase price. He could probably sell in in it's current condition for mid six figures.

Being able to get a quick drink somewhere 'to calm the nerves' after a crash is a strategy for avoiding drinking and driving charges. Tests for alcohol don't indicate when the drinking was done - as long as he says he had a drink after the crash and doesn't admit to any before then there's no proof he was drinking and driving at the time of the crash. Claiming that his phone was at home if it was not could be a problem should the phone's location be looked into. Cheers, and remember to always walk, run, hitchhike, crawl, or swim to the nearest bar before answering any questions.

just at that age where driving a stick was not something you did. I still drive a manual and most people who stared driving in the late sixties can drive a stick as many cars came with manuals.. To me it is a little weird to lose control on a downshift. He must have hit the gas and turned sideways.

A). Clearly he has more money than sense

B). What kind of moron takes his sports car for a spin and doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission??

C). Thankfully no innocent was injured in this debacle, except for that gorgeous car which is likely totaled

D). He clearly has more money than sense...this is just infuriating on so many levels and that point needed to be made twice 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Trying to find a pic of the car pre-crash.

Guarini claims old tires, muddy pavement, and a fresh detailing were all factors causing the 550-horsepower supercar to swing out and hit a tree. The driver also told R&T the crash occurred as he shifted up into second gear from first, not while downshifting, as the official report says.

Last time I checked, most detailers do not touch the tire treads on a car going back on the street. The only time they "detail" the tire treads is on a car to be statically displayed at an indoor show.

I blame his incompetence with driving a stick and underestimating the torque on a 500+ horsepower engine, along with not being familiar with how a mid-engine car handles (the handing is quite different from a front-engine, rear axle car). Mid-engine cars tend to push the front end as you steer into corners.

Perhaps he should have bought a four-cylinder or V-6 Fiero with a stick and learned how to drive that mid-engine car before getting behind the wheel of this GT40. Of course, I would recommend he get his license reinstated BEFORE getting behind the wheel of anything.

Clear case of more money than common sense.

Watched a TT lock up on 295 South today, north of Portland, Maine. Idiot Diriver in front of TT going too slow. Then aluminum components. hit the ground. I ran over one and thought....new friggen tires yesterday....did I lose one? Something happened with the TT...tire punctures. Heavy rubber on the road...stayed well behind him/her. Pulled over....he/she was screwed.
