Eh, people curb their wheels all the time. Just walk down the street. 80% of cars out there have curbed wheels, and not everyone gives a crap whether or not their rims are in pristine condition.
With that said, I have no idea why they don't just design curbs in this part of the world to have a slant like a 60deg incline instead of a 90deg drop. That would save a ton of rims.
Why is everyone freaking? It's not like he flipped that car into a pole.

Why is everyone freaking? It's not like he flipped that car into a pole. | I think those curbs are designed to also help protect pedestrians. Otherwise there would be stupid people easily hopping the curbs and running into pedestrians..

Too much for a 18 year old kid to handle, even if they shit 50's and wipe with 100's. At least get your kid a nice little 5 Series/E-Class.

It probably wasn't a valet, but last night I saw a vantage parked in the exact same spot and it was right against the curb.
I don't think we should assume that the guy can't handle a granturismo I mean if a young guy made it somewhere in a 400 hp car without wrapping it around a pole, that probably means he can "handle" the car, parallel parking isn't what parents generally freak out about when they give their son the keys to a 400hp car...
