Seriously, the mere existence of automobiles like this is all the evidence we need to declare this world "market" economy corrupt beyond measure or repair.

Fubar.

Automobile are among the most idiotic machines humans have ever devised.

I was born in the Jet Age of Automobiles, when cars had big fins, but I was hoping the age of the automobile would be over by now.



Until that fine future when ordinary people are asking, "Why the fuck would I want an automobile?" I'll settle for laughing whenever I see an absurdly expensive cars trashed without any serious injury to innocent bystanders.

Hopefully this idiot LaFerrari driver paid for the damage he did to others, on the spot.

So sorry, my bad. Here's $30,000 cash to replace your old car I wrecked.

Sadly, my experience is that too many overly wealthy humans are assholes who got overly wealthy screwing others over, knowingly or not, and at best they'll say "Call my lawyer," their lawyer being someone just as mean as they are.
