I remember reading that over half of all the McLaren F1s sold to the public have been destroyed in high speed collisions. The wife of BMW's CEO has wrapped two of them around a tree and nearly killed herself on the second crash. She was in a coma for a few days.
This is just another example that money can't buy skill.

Two of them?? Wtf is the BMW CEO doing letting his wife, who obviously can't drive, run around in a McLaren F1? I think she needs something more suited to her skill level...like a Civic.

Either way, it's sad to see a car like that in that condition.

I remember seeing a picture of a toasted Lambo one time... $350k down the drain.

This is like the guy who waS driving the Bugatti Veyron at a track in cali for the press, i think that was the location, and he spun out and almost crashed one of only 2 or 3 that test mules...that would have been 1 mill down the drain and one helluva expensive test drive.

What I don't understand is how he lost it on one of the easier turns at Laguna Seca. If he had lost it on the Corkscrew, I can understand, but it was on turn 2 or turn 3 that he spun it.

I dont know, but man i bet that guy saw his life flash before his eyes...not because he was going that fast but because if he wrecked that car i cant imagine how many people would have been lined up to kill him

I'm sure if I were one of them, I'd be mighty pissed too...
