I bet he pays like $40K a year just for insurance.

If you can afford that car........$40k a year is nothing

Besides they sell them for 440,000, I have to believe even a small percentage of that being profit- it's simply good business to sell them.
How many of those 50-60% do you think will result in people buying replacements?
I mean if you have that much money sitting around, what's another 440,000?

Two things Krink:
1. Don't ever take a pic with your car in the background without showing the bling rims
2. Was the driver a 16 yr old with rich parents that opted against an Sti?

Agreed it sucks he crashed it, but most people can't handle a car like that......although a lot of people talk ****.
The way I see it is, at least he drives the car hard unlike those douche bags who can afford a car like that and just buy it for status.
Everyone screws up sometimes, and it's a lot easier in a car like that.

Guy is from the Napa area and went full on into a cow pasture. Sorry everyone, the repairs went way beyone $225K, the car was totalled out. Insurance paid off but I'm pretty sure it would be a cold day in hell before the boy got insurance for a high end toy again. With that much hp you'd better be good or your lunch will be eaten by the hp gods.
