the prettiest car made today, besides the Alfa 8C

[Evolutionian]

lol sigh what a waste of a car

[ilvtofu]

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

[slammer111]

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.

[Harvey Specter]

Ouch.

[yvrnycracer]

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

[skyxx]

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

[mono666]

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.

[Aetios]

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

[WHEYsted]

Those birdcage rims are horrible.:Puke:

[thumper]

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:

[Qmx323]

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.

[shenmecar]

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.

[StylinRed]

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

[!Yaminashi]

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

[sTi-K]

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

[slammer111]

You're on a car enthusiast website and wondering why everyone is freaking? :rolleyes:He can always just get the rim replaced or whatnot. It's not like he dented half the side of his car..

[ilvtofu]

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...

[!Aznboi128]

some people should learn

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

[you]

poor car..

[Benz_05TSX]

Excuse to get new rims!!!

[Marco911]

You guys realize you can repair curbed wheels right?

[Timpo]

lol that sucks

[1exotic]

lol that sucks

Wouldn't suck for you... throw the rims away, put some new ones on, lower the car, tune it.... right?

it's to bone stock

[JSALES]

kid probably can just buy new rims

[124Y]

I'm one of those ppl who care about my rims, so it sucks to see ppl who can't park.
It doesn't matter if they're rich or not...some ppl just don't give a shit or they just don't know how to parallel park that they think it's normal for rims to get curbed.

[Volvo-brickster]

parallel parking is great when you have sidewalls as high as the curb :D

31x10.5 FTW

I miss my Tacoma :(

[buddy]

" mom, stupid curb scratched my rim ... "

[!Yaminashi]

Yes but that costs money, also you're left without your wheels
Which can all be avoided by just parking carefully

Personally, I'd rather always have mint wheels, than have them curbed and fixed every year

[q0192837465]

shit happens, I'm sure a lot of u scratched ur rims. Cut the kid some slack

[jbsali]

that shits epic

[WHEYsted]

^ How so?

[Volvo-brickster]

i saw a SL65 this morning parked on melville with the rim right against a curb

didn't bother to take a picture

at $265,000, whats a new wheel to the owner ?

[3seriesBeeM]

you think with that kind of money to buy a maserati. The parents would put the kid through the best driver training there is

[The_AK]

not my car, not my problems

[GordonTse]

probably with that kind of money, the parents bought the kid the license :haha:

[impactY]

all you fuck heads act like u never curbed a rim

[Nsane]

Curbed rims are common for any car. It's just that most people who drive expensive cars dont have a care in the world for their cars.

[kristianhay]

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

Haha so true...there are way too many kids like that at my school.

[CRiXy]

I saw some dumb gangster brown guy in a new Viper convertible pull over on Robson/Thurlow right in front of Starbucks and he completely curbed BOTH wheels on the passenger side. It was so bad that you could hear the metal grind and all I was doing was LOL'ing while he had this ridiculous "WTF?" look on his face, hahaha!
