From the article:

As if things couldn't get any worse for the driver, the RC F was damaged further after onlookers pushed it back onto its wheels. As the driver didn't engage the handbrake upon exiting, it then rolled down the road into a crash barrier, despite the frantic attempts of locals to hold it back.
It's a footbrake. They'd have been better off saying Emergency or Parking brake.

This is the type of thread and story I refuse to open and look at. It will forever be my goal and desire to only manage and maintain cars that are in perfect or near perfect condition. Shame on these people for ruining perfection.

I never understood why parents let their kids drive anything better than the 10 year old V4 Camry I got as my first car. My dad did let me push his Bimmers but only when he was in the passenger seat watching over me.

agreed, my dad does a very good job at making sure his E63 keys are well hidden lol. very rarely though he forgets i'm such a piece of crap lolz... one time he had me take the car into mavis to get the winter tires swapped out (only times i ever have it by myself), and i know the manager there pretty well and asked if he wouldn't mind writing that the car was brought in with 20 more miles than there actually was hahaha, gave me some extra cushion room for when i brought the car back and my dad inevitably checks the odometer to see how much it was driven since it left mavis. that car hauls lemme tell you... quite the upgrade from his 2004 Camry lol

Well the son is ok, being a father I could tell you that's all I care if my son did that to me. But he will be grounded for a long long long time for sure!

Is he ok?Is he hurt? That's my first thought. Ambulance was called? No, no thank you for the kind gesture but I'LL take him to the hospita to check out his "injuries ". On the way we'll "talk".


Grounded for LIFE!!!!!!
