How NOT to Park Your McLaren… Dude Slams into the Wall!

Wow, talk about your all time bonehead moves! We can’t imagine what the driver of this McLaren was thinking when he was backing into this parking space, but he apparently got the gas and brake pedals mixed up or just didn’t realize the car has all of the horsepower. Either way, as he backed into the spot, he lost control of the car’s throttle and slammed into the wall hard enough to cause a sickening thud.

The McLaren, one of the most exclusive hypercars on the planet, is capable of reaching insane speeds and handles corners like few other cars in existence, but for all of its capabilities, the hypercar can’t offset poor driving, which is the obvious cause for this impact with the parking garage wall. It’s hard to tell definitively how bad the damage is in this short clip, but based on the sound it seems like a safe bet that there is at least some body damage on the rear of the car.

Despite watching the clip again and again, it’s simply impossible to determine exactly what happened to cause the impact, leaving us to speculate as to what went through the driver’s mind. The guy videoing the scene couldn’t help throwing a sarcastic “Nice!” comment at the driver when he slammed into the wall. Knowing the luxury tax that exists on all exotic cars, we certainly don’t want to see the repair bill, especially if there was any damage to the exhaust or underlying body support structure. Hopefully the damage was cosmetic and won’t hurt to owner’s wallet too bad. We want to hear from you guys and gals, what do you think happened to cause this little bump? Do you think the driver just got distracted and stabbed the gas, or was there some kind of confusion the caused him to accidentally give the car too much throttle. Perhaps he thought he was throwing a quick rev and didn’t realize the car was still in gear? We’re open to whatever suggestions you might have!
