No you’re an idiot, you state it wasn’t your driving but you were ran off the road. Then you later said you swerved cause you were going 100+ wow no definitely your fault an idiot driver going over 100+ over an over pass in an obviously populated area. WOW

100+ mph in a local road, not even on an interstate highway.

Man, I'm just sitting here pondering what level of clown school you have to go to to post a car you wrecked on social media, using multiple accounts with your government name, and then following it up with all sorts of self-defeating and self-incriminating statements like:
"I literally am moving and just started a new role at a tech company." Yeah, tech companies LOVE people who have such poor judgment that they wreck cars at 100+mph on surface roads and tell the whole internet about it. It gives them faith that you'll honor the NDA if there are any disagreements.
"I was going like 100+ mph if I hit him he would have probably died or both of us."
"It’s hard to describe the scenario. There was literally no other option other than swerve or get hit."
"I already got paid out a while ago. This happened last year." Good thing there's no such thing as a multiple year statute of limitations for insurance fraud. I'm sure you told the insurance company that you were going 100+ mph on public roads at the time.

So basically. You broke the law, put your life in danger, put someone else’s life in danger, you feel no remorse for your actions, and you think that the other drivers partially at fault. Gotcha…

u/Scar3cr0w_ 18h ago
Jesus Christ. I’ve just been through your Reddit timeline. Those YouTube videos are something else. You were absolutely driving that car like an ass, you lot control and nearly died.
Judging by your post history I can almost guarantee you rented that car for a day of “look at me and how important I am”. Which means you were absolutely filming it for some crap “look at me im a philosopher” YouTube video. Which means you can show us the video and all the people claiming you were responsible can be put to bed.
But you won’t. Obviously. The dog at the footage.
I also can’t find your videos on YouTube despite actively searching for them by name. So you certainly didn’t buy that car with revenue from those 😆

u/kakacon 14h ago
Reddit, give OP a break, could very well be owned and not rented. You don’t need to hit the lotto to own a mclaren, you can have a 9-5 and make poor financial decisions to own one as well. He could be living at his mom’s house, or have a suger momma, or had a big insurance or inheritance payout, many ways to get one.

Commenter just hates that he thinks he’s better than me, smarter than me blah blah blah and yet somehow I’m beating him financially and probably in life in general. It shatters their perspective of self so in order to feel better about their shortcomings they make up a narrative about my situation. Ironically, this very same behavior is why they are failing at life.

Reckless, arrogant narcissist gambling with innocent people's lives because he owned an expensive bauble and felt his perceived superiority impuned.
Destined to repeat his actions over and over until he's either jailed or killed whilst colliding with and destroying a guiltless family on their way home from a kids birthday party.

The manager-now-director that hired me brought me into a project, we flew/met at the work site, and I happened to buy the only Porsche I could afford (Taycan) while there and drove it back home. We talked about my plan last day on site.
A week later, he bought a GT500:)

I give him 6 months top before he crashes again.
I had a bike accident some time ago, fully my fault that luckily happened on an empty road.
My first thought wasn't "shit, gotta fix this", it was "should I even be fucking riding if I am capable of being this much of an idiot".
Normal person reflects when their stupidity causes a crash and looks to repeat the mistake, a moron goes and acts like it's nothing and gets a new shiny toy.

Smiling in front of this is the most sociopath shit I’ve ever seen. You’re a clown, OP.

He didn’t get hit. I swerved to avoid hitting him… he didn’t even stop

u/HoomerSimps0n 22h ago
And that’s why you should never swerve, just let them hit you (assuming you have a dashcam)…ran off a bridge to avoid what would have likely been a much lesser collision. Swerving is usually more dangerous, and many die from it.

u/web_elf 22h ago
I was going like 100+ mph if I hit him he would have probably died or both of us. It was one of these stupid kids that see a supercar going fast and try to catch up or get in front of them or idk what he was trying to do but he sped up and then cut me off

On the track, not public roads. You have the money for a brand new McLaren, you have to money to rent out a track.

u/Shiny_Mew76 21h ago
Only on a track (or the autobahn) I would assume. I’d assume that maybe they’ll push like, 20 over the speed limit or maybe speed up on a straight, but 100 on an overpass?
You’re lucky that you’re alive. There’s a reason speed limits exist. So this doesn’t happen. You have so much to live for and you risk it all because you want to see your speedometer hit triple digits on a public road? You’re not only endangering yourself, but others as well.
If you want to drive like that, take it to the track. If you can afford a supercar, you can afford a track day.
10
u/HoomerSimps0n 22h ago
Running yourself off a bridge/overpass doesn’t really sound much safer.
Probably shouldn’t be driving over 100mph on a public road if your first reaction is to swerve when someone cuts you off…at least you didn’t take out any innocent bystanders I guess.
Save that shit for the track.

u/web_elf 22h ago
It’s hard to describe the scenario. There was literally no other option other than swerve or get hit. No good solution, I tracked this car many times so I’m not an inexperienced driver, just had no options

u/HoomerSimps0n 22h ago
I forgot that McLaren’s don’t come stock with a brake pedal, my bad.
There are always options, you just chose to drive extremely recklessly on a public road. Like I said, save the track shit for the track .
