He was going four times the posted limit, and police rightfully seized the car. Folks, with great power comes great responsibility. That applies to superheroes as well as car enthusiasts, and with the rash of dumbassery we’ve been seeing lately, perhaps a bit of internet shaming is in order. To that end, we present the driver of this exquisite Aston Martin Vantage who clearly has far more money than brains, or common sense, or courtesy, or restraint. It’s possible the person in question doesn’t have money – this could be a friend or child of the owner after all. We don’t know exactly because the police report only mentions the driver as a 31-year old man, but still, that’s way old enough to know better.

She thought she was only going 100. Here we have another lapse of judgment behind the wheel of a supercar. At least this time the failure of common sense occurred on an open stretch of highway during daylight hours, unlike our recent story featuring a speeding Aston Martin Vantage going four times the posted limit through a school zone in the twilight of early evening. The big faux pax this time around – aside from going 137 mph (220.4 km/h) in a 70 mph (112.6 km/h) zone – is the Ferrari 488 Spider driver deciding to let it rip in the rain. More bad drivers caught in the act: Ice-T Arrested In His McLaren 720S For Skipping Toll Booth Mustang Hoon Loses Wheel, Gets Busted Doing Donuts On SF Bridge That’s a dicey proposition for any car in the wet, never mind a Ferrari. It gets better though because the lady behind the wheel wasn’t the car’s owner. In fact, it was a rental Ferrari, so presumably, she didn’t have much supercar … [Read more...] about Woman Driving Rented Ferrari Gets Busted For 137 MPH In The Rain

Even Batman has to do PR. Imagine driving down the road and seeing a police car, lights flashing, behind the Batmobile. Uh oh, what did Batman do now? Nothing, according to the CBC Radio. Video of the Brampton Batman being pulled over by police spread online the last few days with plenty of jokes thrown around about the incident. However, it appears Batman – really Stephen Lawrence – did nothing wrong. In the video, you can see Batman jump from the Batmobile, his cape fluttering behind him. He speaks with the officer, and in a matter of seconds he’s climbing back into the Batmobile. The person taking the video even comments about the cop letting Batman off with what appears to be a warning.

However, that’s not what happened, according to Lawrence. In an interview with CBC Radio, … [Read more...] about Batman Stopped By Police For A Photo Op

Both the pickup and the driver are now behind bars. We’ve seen a few videos of people flipping out when the repo man shows up, but this one certainly ranks near the top of our batshit crazy list. We’ll be up front in saying we don’t have all the details but here’s what we do know: This Ford F-Series diesel was picked up for a tow and the truck’s owner wasn’t having it. The harrowing video shows the driver frantically trying to get the pickup free, doing an untold amount of damage in the process. Amazingly, the driver does manage to get the truck back on the ground, at which point the clip abruptly ends. The tow truck is from Specialized Towing based out of Miami, so we assume this incident took place somewhere in the area. We also assume this was a repossession for non-payment, since this Instagram clip comes from a user named repo_king07. Honestly, there could be more information in the comments of this post, but with nearly 850 … [Read more...] about Crazy Ford F-Series Driver Fights Tow Truck And Loses

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer XPeng, backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, said on Wednesday it has raised $400 million from investors including Xiaomi Corp to fund its growth. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier about the fundraising and about Xiaomi being an investor. The fundraising comes at what bankers and industry insiders describe as an increasingly tough financing environment for Chinese EV startups which must jostle for attention in a crowded sector and produce convincing arguments about future profitability despite government cuts to EV subsidies and plans to phase them out. XPeng, which announced the fundraising in a statement, did not comment on its valuation. But the sources said the latest fundraising valued the five-year-old firm, led by 42-year-old tech entrepreneur He Xiaopeng, at nearly $4 billion, higher than the 25 billion yuan ($3.57 billion) valuation in the last funding round. The dollar fundraising comes as Guangzhou-based XPeng, … [Read more...] about Alibaba-Backed EV Startup XPeng Raises $400 Million Funding
