Can't be much worse than a guy I know who bought a brand new Ferrari, drove it from the car dealer to a friends place where everyone was waiting out the front for him, so he decided to try and impress everybody with a huge powerslide into the parking space out the front. Except he completely misjudged the slide, put 2 wheels sideways into the gutter at 60km/h and snapped them off, shattered the carbon fibre chassis and wrote the car off.
Yes he was insured and GIO took the car away & paid him out. So he went and bought the V12 model, Apparantly the V8 wasn't powerful enough for him....
