I can only imagine how this guy must have felt. Its the newest super car from the ultimate super car producer and he damages it in less that 60 seconds of driving. I am sure his biddies in the office are clowning him

Think he ran over a peanut sized pebble on the road and it damaged the wheel.

It's a shame Jethro didn't do this during an actual magazine comparo test - Ferrari would have had at least one backup ready and waiting for him, even if it the backup wasn't specifically tuned by Ferrari to do well in the specific test.

Anyway, it's kind of a **** move by CAR to post this video. I don't take any pleasure out of seeing people in genuine distress, and I most certainly wouldn't post a video of one of my employees in such a situation.

Yeah. I felt really bad for the guy. I can only imagine how I would feel if something like that happened to me. I agree it didn't need to be shared and in the end the video doesn't really allow anyone to really see what happened. Maybe the boys in the office released it to mess with him

The car is so freaking fugly, he probably crashed it on purpose so he wouldn't have to drive it anymore.
