He just wrote off his old man's £275,000 ($440,000) supercar. BBC - Newsbeat - Son writes off his dad's £275,000 supercar
If the kid took it without permission, he has some serious 'splaining to do. But if his dad gave permission, then perhaps he should count himself lucky that the only damage done was to the car.
20 year olds and 225mph cars do not mix well. |

Differences include: I had permission to take the truck, no one else was in the car with me, I didn't write it off, and dad ended up getting twice the value for his truck than he paid. |
