After I buy something, it becomes my pride and joy for quite a long time. I spent money on that shit, I'm going to treat it with all the care in the world.
I don't care if it's something as little as a pair of trainers, I will tiptoe my way everywhere, avoiding puddles and maneuvering around dog crap. I could care less if I look stupid, I ain't ready to ruin these shoes.
Other people, however, don't treat their purchases with the same care.

As you can imagine, the buyer of the car was seen celebrating the arrival of the McLaren 650S, even cracking out a bottle of champagne.

Their delight, however, turned to devastation in a matter of minutes when people spotted the new supercar colliding with a tree on a nearby road in Hutton, Essex.
According to the Mirror no one was injured in the crash, however Essex Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have information relating to the incident.

The McLaren has 650 break horse power, a 0-60 time of just under three seconds and a top speed of 204mph, so it's anyone's guess how fast they were travelling.
According to the specifications, the mid-engined, twin turbo supercar has a stopping distance from 62-0mph of 30.7 meters.

Although there have been no arrests made regarding the incident, police are trying to trace a woman who was seen approaching the driver and passenger straight after the collision.
If it had been me, I'd have spent a lot more time cleaning it and simply looking at it while it sat in my driveway. I'd hope for people to drive by and get instantly jealous.
If I was forced to drive it, because my Ferrari and Lambo were both getting new paint jobs, I'd set myself a speed limit of 10mph. If any puddles stood in my way, I'd find another route.
I'd treat that motherfucker as if it was made out of diamonds.
