Kid smashes $230,000 McLaren windshield with a skateboard - General

Dude that driver totally got owned, not to mention he deserved it: "bitch I'm cruising in a McLaren, fuck that stop sign. make room for your new king"

[QUOTE=_Axel;50743667]I'm pretty sure the driver said it considering he honked just before that. And it doesn't seem likely to me that a guy would go from "suck my dick" to "I made a mistake, I apologize".[/QUOTE] Voice yelling is kid/teenager. Probably the skateboarder not someone in the car. And the Mclaren was moving at walking pace over the crossing, falling over is 100% the skateboarders fault. Yelling "suck my dick" and smashing a cars windshield is a huge over-reaction to the driver honking. Little shit.

different day, same facepunch Dont give a single fuck if the drivers an asshole..you dont do this And anyone that thinks because he has an expensive car that "its ok because he can just buy another" please do not breed how are you people even arguing about this?

[QUOTE=Tools;50743587]I'm pretty sure a $250,000 punch to the face hurts even if you're Bill Gates[/QUOTE] Bill Gates is worth something like $60,000,000,000 now. ([url=http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/]Actually $75b after looking it up real quickly.[/url]) A quarter million dollars is 1/240,000th of his net worth. So a quarter million to him is the equivalent of $0.50 for someone who's worth $120,000. It's a complete pittance.

Why people assume that because you buy a car thats not the usual shit people think your richer than them i have no fucking idea it's called saving up and not spending your money on shit! im doing the exact same thing to get my dream car and i'm one of the poorest of my friend circle..but im still fucking doing it. Someone smashes my windscreen i'll take every penny off them to pay for repairs ...did i mention having friends in law/military has its benefits? Its literally the car version of "this is why we can't have nice things!"

Both were wrong, i won't condon the kids actions nor would i tell anyone it's ok to do, but i ultimately don't care if he got away with it.

While the driver should've stopped for the stop sign, he probably hadn't seen the skater. It's not like he intentionally tried to hit the skater. It's really dangerous to cross the street without looking, let alone while skating.

(not to mention beeping the horn at the kid, who he almost ran over) its not like the kid did it just because the guy had a cool car. its not to say that the kid is necessarily in the right, but the driver certainly isnt. he paid the consequences of being a dick, it has nothing to do with 'this is why we cant have nice things.'

I like how some just mumbled "World Star" at the end

[QUOTE=mini me;50744649]thats the thing though My friends did nothing..they were literally parked..came back and bits were hanging off A nice car is apparently a chav-magnet..a big ol' flashing light saying "WRECK ME ITS OK" and once again ...nice car does not equal rich ..love to get a security system akin to batman or a big terminator looking fucker to guard Unfortunately i just spent all the money on my car so again ...why people assume you can afford things like that because of your car i will never understand[/QUOTE] Why is that relevant to the topic again? We're not saying that it's no big deal if someone's expensive parked car is vandalized. I assume you don't drive like an asshole so the likelihood of a kid bashing your windshield because you almost ran him over is close to nil.

The angst toward wealthier people in this thread is hilarious I've known some extremely kind and generous rich people and some extremely bitter and selfish poor people. Some people are awful no matter how much money they make. This guy seems like a dickhead from the 30 second clip we saw of him but if he is it's not because he's driving a nice car. Y'all need to tone it down.

There's a luxury car rental/dealer place fairly close to where this happened. There's a chance the guy didn't even own the car. Skateboarder was probably over the line, but I'm not gonna shed a tear for the idiot running a stop sign.

The only reason people are talking about the price of the car is because repairs are more expensive.

Reminds me of middle school "Eat the rich!!" bullshit I'm sure if science could prove that more expensive cars somehow possess their drivers to act like assholes, everyone would be driving a lada, comrade.

Calling someone a rich prick does not imply they're a prick because they're rich, and the first quote literally just says that the guy can probably afford repairs because they bought a McLaren in the first place. Yeah there are people calling him an asshole because he's rich but it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50744708] I'm sure if science could prove that more expensive cars somehow possess their drivers to act like assholes, everyone would be driving a lada, comrade.[/QUOTE] Well there is [URL="http://www.pnas.org/content/109/11/4086.full.pdf"]this [/URL] I see bad drivers all the time regardless of cars, but if I had to guess what type of car the dude who ran a stop sign, rolled into the pedestrian crossing, honked his horn and told the pedestrian to "suck his dick" it would be the guy in the McLaren. [editline]20th July 2016[/editline] It has more to do with the sense of entitlement than material wealth.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50744708] I'm sure if science could prove that more expensive cars somehow possess their drivers to act like assholes, everyone would be driving a lada, comrade.[/QUOTE] I'd say it's reasonable to assume that someone who drives a 230k flaming orage supercar is probably narcissistic.

[QUOTE=pedrus24;50744352]Then he shouldn't drive like an asshole if it's not his car.[/QUOTE] I'm just saying he doesn't deserve to have his skull bashed because all you guys have hate boners for people with nicer shit then you.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;50743643]What world do you live in? Speak to anyone who owns a super car and you will likely find that they spent a long time saving up for one and it is a gigantic chunk of their net assets. Having somebody smash the windscreen of that car would have just as big of an impact as somebody painting an entire face of your house. But yeah, that kid deserves to get fucked up on some level in the same way that I would if some stranger were to kick my dog in public in the face for barking.[/QUOTE] you mean kind of like a cheaper car usually is for a poorer family? Also, no. Breaking a windshield is nowhere near the same level as kicking a dog.

The point is that comparatively a quarter million dollars is a drop in the bucket for someone like Bill Gates and thus the post I'm responding to is invalid. Someone of Gates' stature could easily replace a $250,000 car and not actually miss the money. Let alone merely spending several thousand just to replace the windshield.
