Well at least the old dipshit looks appropriately miserable. I give even odds on his insurance dropping him after this shit.
You can’t park there mate.
The Americans should build their houses like this column, instead out of paper mache.
They have a hard time even affording the cheap paper mache shit they make them out of now.
I can’t imagine how much more eye watering the price would be if they were made like this.
Support column built by the same company that makes telephone poles for GTA
I hadn’t played since it came out really and played some for the first time again last month. My dedecution has been if it’s metal, you can plow through it, if it’s wood it’ll plow through you.
And then all the sudden a few objects will defy these assumptions and you wind up driving through a fence and find a metal rod turning you into a pretzel.
shit. hit the pole at 50?
Looks more like 80+. That damage is WILD.
Mach 50 I think
Why would he do that?
The old shithead, leaning on the rear tire, is lucky his fuck-up did not start a fire. Revoke his driver’s license permanently.
Because everyone knows cars won’t start unless you have a valid license right?
Very true - because taking away his license wouldn’t physically prevent him from operating a vehicle, we shouldn’t do it at all. Because incremental progress is for losers.
when the police revoked my MIL’s license in front of us, i’ll be honest i’ve never been more thankful for police. She knew she was a menace on the road and enjoyed it.
That day is probably coming, where you tap your license to start the car.
That was a BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar
It can do 60-0 even faster.
Yeah, I saw some assuming he was drunk but it is just as likely that this guy made a split second decision and jumped on it thinking what could go wrong I’ve done it before and poof.
People don’t like to view vehicles as murder machines but they very much are. If raising the front end 40% increases the chance of death by 40% to pedestrians and the only benefis were “I like the way it looks” or in this case the car being designed to accelerate at speeds that arent comfortable or safe because “I think it can be fun sometimes” at the detriment of others is just poorly planned.
Sure the guy is at fault, but so is the company that manufactured it, and the government bodies that allowed it on public roads.
If someone wants to have a hobby playing with and racing cars, that’s fine; but they don’t belong in public areas.
launch control
Today I Learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_control_(automotive)
Why would this even be present in a street legal vehicle?
Money.
I sometimes wonder why the US even has a government.
An artifact of more sensible times. Besides, without it how would we even know who our glorious leader was?
🙄🥺
Today, that guy learned as well.
What the hell, that’s STOCK for a BMW M series?
That makes skateboards sound safe.
I love it when people know things
Must be why you left reddit. 😏
Absolutely amazing how intact the cabin is. Modern car safety is phenomenal.
Back in my day, cars killed their inattentive drunk drivers. Now, they just kill innocent children.
“Innocent children”? Do you have children? Because mine are assholes whose only purpose is to constantly terrorize me and keep me poor. 🤣
the reason i’m a proponent of the adaptive cruise control systems is that i was very, very nearly in a 30 car pileup on the Grapevine (if you don’t know the stretch of road, I-5 north of LA, south of bakersfield. very mountainy and curvy, there’s always a fire or an accident when i drive by four times a year). It was foggy and the ACC saw the car ahead of me before I did, let us stop before hitting it and making it a 32 car pileup.
When I was growing up (80s and 90s) that size accident would have multiple fatalities. Only one person had to go to the hospital, and she was pregnant. They wanted to check on the baby. Everyone else just had light bruising/abrasions.
Modern cars seem like a miracle compared to what i started driving.
The future is now
I think that’s the driver at the beginning, sadly sitting against his wreck, but otherwise fine.
That pole is incredible
That’s what she said
Thank you very much.
Has some light cosmetic work but low miles and drives great!
No lowball offers!! I know what I got!
I love how the guy taking the video is delaying his reaction until the incident is fully documented.
How is my question. Also it looks like a modern art piece.
This guy must have posted just after you. His explanation seems likely.
Why is my question.
Why can’t we see the flux capacitor?
Because it’s in the back behind the driver’s seat, silly.
Just under 400hp with insane traction elements and lots of stupidity.
Did he hit the accelerator rather than the brake?
also crazy that he got going fast enough in a garage to do that much damage.
No, it appears he hit the break instead of the brake.
It is amazing how fast this car must have accelerated in this rather limited space to make an accident like this.
It was some jackass doing laps in the parking garage. The cringe boy racer kids do this shit because if it’s not on the street then they can’t catch charges beyond trespassing.
Looks like it was the old guy next to tge car, no. Cringe behavior has no age limit. But realistically, maybe not everyone should drive 400hp cars
That’s exactly what I thought, that’s some serious acceleration.
Lots of crumple zones too… But yeah, lol.
@Treczoks That doesn’t look like a sports car, either.
Seems like a bmw/toyota supra, fairly fast. also as the camera whips to the dog right near the end I think that was the run up to the stop section.
At least not anymore
It looks more like a crash car, indeed.
This may be a whoosh but-
Looks like a 15-17 Ecoboost Mustang
315 hp
0-60 in 5.2 sec
1/4 mile in 13.9 @ 98mphThose are bmw wheels
You’re right, I thought it was these

Must be a 4 series varient- should have seen those huge reflectors.
Final guess- M440i
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a34288846/2021-bmw-m440i-xdrive-by-the-numbers/
382 hp 0-60 3.8 sec 1/4 mile 12.8 sec @ 112mph
No slouch. Still impressed at the destruction in such a confined area.
Good AWD hookup and a total moron at the wheel.
This is part of the reason I don’t like biking on busy roads anymore. The higher power the car has, the older the driver tends to be. Then the lower power cars are all driven by tired people and door dashers who are trying to watch the TV they are missing by door dashing 70 hours a week, or dipshits in trucks so big that they won’t even notice when they run me over.
