sad day for a 918

This just happened this morning in Miami Fl.
Rear ended Dodge pick up. Everyone is Ok. Not so much for the car and truck

Meh. He can afford to fix it. There's a reason the law finds the back car at fault in a rear end accident. 918 owner's problem.

Grew up in CA and lived there 30 years, and the absolute worst aggressive drivers I've ever seen are on the highways of southern Florida.

You would think that a driver of a car that can stop in 12 feet from any speed could quit texting and drive the damn car! Sheeeesh...

My brother said he would weave in and out of the traffic and pass them and then would slow down and get father back in traffic and kept doing this until he hit my mom and dads truck.

Yeah sorry that is nothing, I will trade the driver my mid year for the 918 as it sits.

Actually on second thought I love my middie, no deal.
