FC vert and burnt McLaren F1.

This is really random, but I haven't posted anything for a while.

I was watching a video on youtube of a McLaren that caught fire and... hey, an FC!

maybe this should go in the lounge...

They were 1 mil new.....they are one of the few cars that pretty much began appreciating in value immediately...if only I had created a website in the 90's I could have made a shrewd investment...

I want those S5 tails, lol.

I wonder how it feels to have a car that costs that much, only to see it go up in flames. Do you think his insurance company paid him anything?

Yeah, they did fo sho. I work for a family office. AKA, billionarie. The insurance policies they have for their stuff (cars included) is extensive. It may cost $100k's a year but when something like this happens they get paid out $95-98% the value.

Don't cry over this cars owner..... he has dozens of other super cars to drive. I KNOW.

Thats an FC joke... FC's have leaky pulsation dampers that cause your engine bay to suddenly burst into flame.

Damn you Beefhole! Haha

The value of McLaren F1s just went up a little bit more.

I've heard some R32s have appreciated as well, but obviously not to the extent that the aforementioned supercars have.
