1. this is why any car (over a set hp #) should come with manditory HPDE days at a local track or performance driving school.

2. Anyone that young who can shell out that much cash for a P1 probably thinks their related to the Stig, i hope he gets his license revoked; but realistically he'll get a slap on the wrist.

AHHH come on there was a "wet spot" on the road so it was clearly not his fault. He will probably sue the state and get enough to buy two more.

That's an interesting spin on the subject.

lol stop being jealous. It's his money, he can waste it however he wants. If you want to make this an issue of safety, anyone can kill themselves (and others) in any car. More people have died in FRSs than P1s.

Yeah it sucks that one of the few in existence has been crashed, but what's the difference between getting totaled and sitting under a car cover for the next 50 years? Neither will be getting any use anyway. And this is Mclaren we're talking about. They repaired Rowan Atkinson's F1 after he practically tore it in half. They'll probably rebuild this one too.

The real news story here is "Man Drives P1". When was the last time you saw a LaFerrari, Veneno, or any other hypercar being actually driven?

The people who need to have it explained that there was "no pun intended" or even "pun intended" don't deserve the cleverness of the play on words. I was impressed by the fact that you didn't point that out in post #4.
