You can't park there mate.
Well at least the old dipshit looks appropriately miserable. I give even odds on his insurance dropping him after this shit.
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.
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.
I love it when people know things
Must be why you left reddit. 😏
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.
It did, once.
Before the dark times.
Before the Empire.
An artifact of more sensible times. Besides, without it how would we even know who our glorious leader was?
🙄🥺
What the hell, that's STOCK for a BMW M series?
That makes skateboards sound safe.
Today, that guy learned as well.
shit. hit the pole at 50?
Looks more like 80+. That damage is WILD.
Yeah I was trying to estimate partly on the apparent size of the garage. It's been a while since I drove a car that could take off if you didn't pay attention
Mach 50 I think
The old shithead, leaning on the rear tire, is lucky his fuck-up did not start a fire. Revoke his driver's license permanently.

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.
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.

I think that's the driver at the beginning, sadly sitting against his wreck, but otherwise fine.
Why would he do that?
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

Has some light cosmetic work but low miles and drives great!
No lowball offers!! I know what I got!
I know it's a parking garage and all, but you can't park there mate.
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.
