The story:

"This happened today at Caffeine & Octane here in GA. Owner (Name held back, I'd request the same if you know him) is a laid back and down to earth guy (was giving joy rides to 60 year old lady ). As he was leaving, stepped on it a little, car slid, spun around and jumped the curve. He wasn't even doing 20mph. Walked up to him and he was fine, but it turned out culprit was his shoe heel. Part of it came loose and as he stepped on the brakes, the loose part stayed partially on gas. Which kept him from full braking and gassed the car at the same time. He maintained his cool as people made fun of the situation, mad props to him for staying calm. We got together and helped him get the car out and on flat bed (it was a bitch to get in on). His last few lines were, "well gives me a reason to put some nice wheels and tint my tail lights lol."

Damage: The rear frame snapped off clean where the control arm bolts on to. No under body damage, no leaks, and car fired right up. He said car is going in for repairs monday and should be back for next C & O.

PS: Before some smart comments come up like, "needs to learn to drive." He has owned this for over a year, and his other cars include a built TT C6 Plastic mess-06 making 1200whp+. Just bad luck i would say.

Cliff's Notes:
1200 hp Lambo leaving Atlanta C&C
Over steps it and puts it into the curb
Blames his shoe

Shiiiiiit, reminds me of this...

I like how the story is backing the owner up while cliff notes make it sound like the owner was a moron for blaming his shoes.

Sounds like some shitty luck.

Bad luck = Street racing karma.

shoe heels coming loose..... wtf?
any thoughts on this?

^ well he said that his foot was on the brake and the gas at the same time, in the video I don't really see brake lights, but I do hear his engine still revving after he spins

Why would anyone step on the brakes going at slow speeds making that turn??

i dont know.. i think he tired to step on it and lost control...

meh, it'll buff right out

sounds like a driver error but cant blame the guy i would probably lose control of a lambo as well

old guy stepped on the gas pedal thinking it was the brakes? :troll:

Enter Subaru at 0:34.

:troll: Problem?

About the 'story' just bcuz the guy owns/owned nice cars doesnt mean he's a good driver

and ouch! didn't imagine that much damage

ya i don't see any brake lights coming on there before or during the spin....buddy just fucked up and blames his shoe lol

Lambo now has 4 wheel steering :troll:

lol...sigh... i guess it could be worse.. imagine there was no median, and he crashed into some other car...

meh, at the end of the day, he owns a 1200 hp lambo. while the people who are calling him out probably live in a house worth less than the car lol.....

Some guy was selling his '06 Heffner Gallardo SE E-Gear TT (1300HP) for $210,000 with only 600miles on it

says his mods are only over $100k

Spoiler!

average price of a home in vancouver is $1mil this is based on Apr 2010 so 1 year ago

wth does it matter how richer he is than others anyway? The point is he made a dumb move regardless how much $ he's got.

would be kind of scared to get one of those underground racing cars up to the speeds they can potentially reach after fucking your drivetrain like that
