ouch, he doent care though im sure his parents will buy him a new one!

the prettiest car made today, besides the Alfa 8C

lol sigh what a waste of a car

Who cares, those rims don't look good on this car anyways or any car for that matter

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.

Ouch.

WOW... its too bad you don't have to take a driving test to buy one of those... the GT's are money!

At least he parked it within the city's permitted distance.

his dad must be pretty pissed right now...

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..

which is what europe's been doing for.. oh.. 200 years and everybody's fine there.

^yea, but they also have better drivers in Europe.

Those birdcage rims are horrible.:Puke:

agreed... scrape the crap out of them=perfect excuse to get some decent rims :thumbsup:

You're on a car enthusiast website and wondering why everyone is freaking? :rolleyes:

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.

this must be the convo he had with his dad after he got home.

SON: but daddddddd, I NEED to buy a set of rims for $22,616 cuz i accidentally curbed my rims. I mean you bought me my license anyways right dad? So it IS YOUR fault!

DAD: ok son. why don't you just go buy a murcie lp670 instead.

ye i don't see a problem with curbing rims (but im biased all my rims are curbed to death) ;)

I'm one of those people that care about my rims :(

same.. i just cant stand rims all scratched up.
especially not on a maserati..

He can always just get the rim replaced or whatnot. It's not like he dented half the side of his car..

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...

some people should learn

but for this kid he's rich so chances is he doesn't give a damn

poor car..
