Police say seatbelts saved the lives of two people who crashed their $300,000 supercar in the Nevada desert, but the vehicle’s engineers deserve a fair share of the credit.
The Nevada Highway Patrol found the totaled McLaren 720 about 70 yards off a road near Lake Mead last week, with damage suggesting that it had rolled at least once as it just missed falling down a ravine.
The 710 horsepower coupé is one of the quickest cars in the world, and has a top speed of 212 mph. It features a carbon fiber passenger cell, similar to a racecar’s, that’s designed to be both lightweight and extremely strong.

Looks like that rolled a few times. Say.... ten or twelve flips.

Just a couple weeks ago, someone wrecked a rented McLaren on I-5 in Washington state.

The car was apparently taking part in a cross-country exotic car rally, which is a gathering of supercar owners who stay in high-end hotels and hold parties at each stop along the way. One report says this was a Cannonball Run tribute rally.

Look, if you can’t make your payments, simple sell the car.
Smirk.
To be honest, I literally hate seeing something with that intrinsic value destroyed like that.
To me, that’s a work of art, just a purely enjoyable thing to view, let alone own.

A chemist using the psuedonym Heisenberg developed a meth product having a didtinctive blue tint and sold in bags marked Heisenberg. Although from Albequerque New Mexico, the product became the favorite and was sold all over.
For the complete low down watch the TV series Breaking Bad

Seems like the VIN should quickly lead to the owner.
