Man crashes expensive sports car after driving it for the first time

If ever there was proof that sports cars only exist for the purpose of showing off, then this might just be it.
That’s because the owner of this Chevrolet Corvette crashed his car only 24 hours after purchasing it from a showroom.
Explaining the incident to CarThrottle, the man filming the crash explained: ‘It was his first time using it, it controlled the torque completely through first gear at wide open throttle.

‘After shifting to second (expecting the torque management to continue working) it was unrestricted power to the wheels and just came as a surprise, which is why there wasn’t really a reaction to it’.
But the driver would probably be pleased to hear that the damage was ‘completely repairable’, albeit at a wallet-burning cost of $20,000.
