Yeah that's close to where I live.Funny thing about that one is.They don't say exactly where he crashed it.Every story I see about it will not give the location.
 
You were not kidding … I went and read 4 stories about it and all of them just stated it happened outside of Dallas .. then I found this one … I can't swear to its accuracy …

27-Year-Old That Crashed McLaren P1 Had Car For Less Than 24 Hours

By 7:41 a.m. the next day, first responders were being called to the scene of the crash. They said the driver appeared to have lost control of the car after hitting a wet patch while traveling on McKinnon Street. The car then slammed into a guardrail. Considering the high level of damage some speed must have been involved.

Finally a street.Did you ever see a name of the owner?
 
Wow, it's a shame when somebody goes out and tears up a great car right away. I can understand a driver wanting to find out what his new ride can do, but like Clint Eastwood said as Harry Callahan: A man's GOT to know his limitations.

I remember similar stories back when the first Tesla Roadsters were delivered. More than one met its demise on its first day on the street - drivers weren't prepared for the amount of torque and sudden acceleration it had. Wrecking one of those must really hurt the wallet - they were $109.000 at the time... and you had to wait month if not years to take delivery.

Yeah, if you want to see what your new ride can do I'd recommend Bonneville salt flats.
 
Why are these people hot rodding around immediately off the lot? The engines/drivetrain have a break-in period anyways....

Too much money and not enough smarts.
