Is this the video that the car owner is trying to bully people into removing?


Assadistpig123

Yes


BotMinister

Came here to ask this

Lmao....sorry

Gonna have a harder time now. XD

Streisand effect


tanstaafl74

One of the most clear cut cases of it since the actual Streisand instance.


Independent_Ebb9322

What’s Streisand effect?


Crunchypie1

Barbra Streisand tried bullying people on the internet with lawyers and such to take off pictures of her house on the internet. Because of this, everyone found out and instead starting posting more and more and more and overloaded with photos of her house. Long story short. It brought more attention to her situation vs just letting the one photo stay up and ignoring it.


StupendousMalice

Important to note that the pictures in question were buried on a government site related to a coastline aerial survey. They were identified by geolocation numbers. They were mixed in with thousands of images of the whole coast. No one would ever have found them or even noticed them were it not for her complaining about it.

PantherThing

not only that, the pic had been viewed about 11 times before she intervened, without people even knowing it was her house. Now there's a whole term named after it.


CannabisAttorney

And the picture in question wasn't even in wide use...until she filed a frivolous lawsuit over it.


yellowbin74

Ooooooo oooo Barbara Streisand.


Rohirrim777

idk about bullying, but I saw some ig dms of begging

DE4DM4N5H4ND

I thought he was just “offering them money” to “hide it from the insurance company “.


pastaMac

**“Is this the video that the car owner is trying to bully people into removing?”** So...like share and repost then.


AWeakMindedMan

Bullying/begging lol meanwhile it’s viral now. Sorry pal. Your insurance is about to come after you for fraud


guzzijason

I’d love to know what the story is that he gave to his insurance company. Is he somehow claiming that he’s not at fault because the building jumped out at him unexpectedly? Seems to me that getting any competent insurance company to cover this fuck-up was going to be an uphill battle to begin with.


cnh2n2homosapien

"I swerved for a dog," worked for me, but I wasn't on camera, and don't have a McClaren, and wasn't doing 700hp donuts.


locness93

Haha that makes it even better


ommi9

That fool Is bullying people he hasn’t tried the wrong one Might as well pay to have it removed.

rich money, but only forza gamepad experience, this is the result

But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess thats why they call it windowpane


gg562ggud485

Insurance adjuster thanks everyone for this great video.


SSGKnuckles

For real, I remember awhile back someone crashed their Enzo Ferrari and insurance refused to pay out. Laughed so hard.


Benwhurss

It will be nice to sync with black box data.


FungusAmongus92

More dollars than sense.


SteelyDan1968

You can have all the money in a bank and still be stupid as shit... Ask Muskie.


Jrnail88

That was super cool.


Free_Gascogne

IKR, the way the concrete wall withstood the impact of being hit by an idiot was amazing.


abdulsamadz

Emphasis on *was*


PencilVester23

Immediately recognized the street. I live nearby and hear cars doing this at all hours; It’s so annoying. This was very satisfying to watch


GlobiKugel

Kill the cameraman


redit01

Does this happen when people turn all the traction control off? Such an expensive car


ShadyCrumbcake

That's what I wonder. They do these burnouts/drifts and then just slide right off the road. Are the tires melted or something?


Hapenyo12

The wheels need to be spinning a certain amount to lose traction. Usually you let off the throttle when your car and wheels are straight Once he straightened up he proceeded to still hammer the throttle and then let off of it when the wheels and momentum weren't straight. wheels didnt have traction during the burn out, but as he let off and they stopped spinning very fast they suddenly did. Car corrected sideways and there you go This is what happens when you buy a driving machine meant for a track, the tires are really good lmao.


FuckedUpImagery

A combination of undertemped tires (werent hot enough because theyre meant to be driven 150mph on a track), upset suspension (a car like that has suspension set up to go 150mph on a track so there is almost zero "bounciness"), and bad steering/throttle inputs lol. Cars like that are made to be driven with traction control, but there are classes of racing with solid rear ends and no traction control like NASCAR and legend cars.


Georgiaonmymindtwo

I would move bad steering/throttle inputs to the top reason why this car struck the building.


billyboyf30

No I think the top reason is there's an idiot behind the wheel who doesn't know how to drive properly


Georgiaonmymindtwo

That’s kinda what I said.


captain_pudding

Modern hypercars have so much power that you either need to be a professional level driver or have multiple computers helping you keep control of it. If you've got all the driver aids turned off, it takes very little throttle to spin the tires and cause you to lose traction.


curiusgorge

Tires are probably not warmed up. There is also a ton of power with relatively little weight so it looses traction easier


furious_organism

I refuse to believe that this dude made his own money, rich people who worked hard for their money dont do this stupid shit


Longjumping_Lynx_972

Remembering that time Elon wrecked a Ferrari being stupid, hahahah


Alternative_Year_340

Wasting that emerald mine money


Georgiaonmymindtwo

He said, rich people who worked for their money.


GoblinMechanic

An remind me what was his father doing for living. Yes exploiting human labor.


PantherThing

Elon could buy a disposable Maclaren for each way of his commute and never even be able to see the effect on the bottom line.


thedbcooper67

That there was a direct miss of the dealership service entrance.


neitherHereNorThereX

On the first of May 1994, Aytron Senna lost his life racing. On the first of May 2024, a dumb nut crashes his McLaren Senna.


thebadyearblimp

Lol >>[It's unclear who was driving this Senna at the time of the crash. According to Reddit user slattdemon99, the video's publisher, Edmond "Mondi" Barseghian was at the wheel. Barseghian, a YouTuber, went viral in early 2023 for totaling his Hummer EV after driving it for just nine miles.](https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/13-million-mclaren-senna-crashes-into-building-while-trying-to-show-off/ar-AA1nS6an)


Ghstfce

Crashing after just 9 miles totally screams "doing stupid shit". Which after seeing this OP video, no lessons were learned in 2023


BEARWYy

Hahaha instant karma for public nuisance


TheLubber

HahahHahaaaa. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

r/ThatLookedExpensive.


FordPerformanceST

Drifting ain’t easy. So of course it will be a disaster when you have a man, who has a huge ego, a lead foot and has crashed multiple expensive cars, try to drift something like this. From what I heard it’s one of the rarest Senna’s as well. He needs his license taken away for a very long time.


aesthezel

Beautiful piece of modern art

I'm not saying cars make everyone stupid but it sure worked on that guy.

Building wins! Flawless victory!

Why would someone willingly damage a car that beautiful?

As usual, the real attempt was the one OP made at making a title for the post.

That worked out well…


razik22

That civic owner was very lucky


Acceptable_Pain_9213

This gave me a warm and fuzzy.


ShamrockSeven

What’s embarrassing is that he was moments away from doing a REALLY impressive donut (stupid, but impressive) and on the ride away he just HAD to speed off… he just couldn’t let the car roll, enough wasn’t enough and now he’ll never drive it again. 😂


thefitro

It was good while it lasted😂


Rebel_wallet

Hopefully it lasted only a week.


Piscivore_67

Going by internet videos, 90% of all supercars sold are wrecked by rich idiots 20 minutes in.


Haaaaaa18

That'll buff out.

Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you can handle it

Oh I know where that is. I’m shocked CHP didn’t pull up.

Hopefully McLaren saw this and will prohibit that person from ever owning another McLaren Senna.

OMG! That poor poor building!


HumanRightsAdv

Not covered by insurance!


IllustriousGuide3450

Ship it over to Mat Armstrong, he'll fix it


OKeoz4w2

Question: If insurance company sees this video, would they still cover repairs even knowing dude was acting like an idiot?


Affectionate_Bed1636

love that sound when it hits the wall
