Cars and coffee nearby? His (her?) PSI was so low that he couldn't even air out over that curb. What a wannabe.

It sickens me that people are able to afford these cars with the current markup due to unavailability, and yet they have the brains to end up in this situation.

Wow. Last week my buddy in San Jose sent me pictures of what I'm pretty sure is THAT exact M2 at a performance shop that he takes his 911T to. Black grills/side gills and everything.

Curbs are not 90 degrees it appears. Looks like s/he was trying to do a u turn but got hung up. Last car was an SUV perhaps.

The ability to buy a nice/fast car does NOT equate to having any of the following...

1. Common sense
2. Driving skill
3. An accurate assessment of one's driving skill (this is USUALLY the problem)
4. Testosterone/ego over boost mode

Ultimately, however, it could happen to any of us in a moment of poor judgement... if we are being honest

Completely agree with you, especially about that last comment.

The point is, with respect to the OP's pic, we can speculate about how one manages to put an M2 into such an unflattering position, and jump to conclusions about how it must have been some spoiled 18 year old kid trying to re-create scenes from Fast & Furious, but as Dabozo said, it could have been just someone trying to do a u-turn, and for whatever reason had a lapse of judgement and didn't realize how high the curb was. No different from forgetting to check your blind spot before changing lanes. True, good drivers should not be making dumb mistakes like these, but that 0.01% of the time that we f*** up is what equalizes us all. I'm just grateful that the few times I've let my guard down, no one was hurt.

Guys that was me. Horrible day. Freaking skateboard went flying across the street and I tried to avoid it. Insurance is going to be a beotch because the kid ran off. Broken axle, cracked rim, I'm sure a bent frame...

Wow! That's crazy I would hunt that sk8r down if I were you. Hopefully they scrap the car and you get cashed out
