All right, I'll confess. It was me, guys. I was on a winning streak, starting buying drinks for hookers, and it went downhill fast from there....

Talk about going on a hot streak, LOL. Glad nobody was hurt. Wonder if it was a rental? Hope they got the insurance.

If this is the one I'm thinking about(videos wont load at work anymore) it was crashed by its owner last week or weekend, was owned/driven by a female according to the IG post.. Daily Driven Exotics(DDE) posted it on his IG.

I like DDE, but find it pretty funny when he gives cops a hard time when he gets pulled over. "Are you sure I was speeding" blah blah, then complains about it. Meanwhile, no mention of the hundreds of times he's doing donuts, driving 140mph+, reckless driving, etc. where he just didn't get caught.

Only a matter of time before one of these youtube car personalities (Vehicle Virgins, Street Speed, Choi, etc.) kill somebody. The prosecuting attorney is going to have a lot of video evidence at the manslaughter/murder trial. Somehow I don't think the jury will buy the "Mexico" alibi.

Also wouldn't be surprised if a track day disaster was "stolen" a week later only to discovered in the middle of nowhere. Not that I encourage insurance fraud.
