I've always thought the vinwiki stories were just rich a$$holes

the 200mph ticket video posted yesterday really confirms that

this massive crash of supercars into unsuspecting regular folks...

is discussed by the lambo driver who was near the event here

and to answer the question “what happens when you get caught going at over 200mph?” he paid the bail for his car $10k in cash, so... essentially nothing happens.

so, long story short. these idiots can afford to track their expensive cars, but dont.

There’s a reddit thread discussing it also:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

somewhere in the comments of the various videos and threads is an unsupported comment that the honda driver required significant period of physical therapy.

additionally the comments say the police report noted the cause of the accident as a blown tyre. again unsubstantiated, but not hard to believe such a lie being passed off when the alternative is reckless driving and basically attempted manslaughter

Wasn’t it a VINWiki video with the guy that bad-mouthed a sanctioning body because they were mad at him when he passed a bazillion people AND an emergency vehicle under full course yellow, at race speed ? This seems right up their “rich assholes doing rich asshole stuff” alle y.

Someone needs to slap that smile off the face of the guy telling the story...

Reckless driving that could make the blown tire a lie, and also a lot of those idiots use cheap tires, perhaps not the correct speed rating, so the blown tire could be a problem in addition to the shitty driving

Some Vinwiki stuff is indeed rich assholes.

Some aren’t bad. Anything with a Rabbit is worth listening too.

I dont doubt that by the end, the tyres were blown.

but the cause is clear.

too much speed, improper lane change, and contact with the other driver.

Well, there is that delightful video of Ed B in handcuffs in Arkansas... he didn’t seem fazed, which I think sends exactly the wrong message. Shuckin’ and jivin’ in handcuffs with a pissed off AR State Trooper makes for great video but a lousy VINwiki brand.

And, yeah, to your point, if these entitled d-bags can afford a fleet of Lambos... they sure can afford track time.

There is a comment on the YT video claiming to come from the sibling of the Honda driver which confirms the months of physical therapy.

This YT guy alone has 138k subs and probably hundreds of thousands of fans clicking on his videos. Not to mention other prominent self-street racers with affluenza.

As shameful as that may be to us, t hey’re going to keep doing it as long as people keep watching it.

After Vinwiki lost all of their, y’know, VINWIKI data in one fell swoop , I’ve completely lost all interest in them. It seems like zero development has been done on the Vinwiki platform for the past three years, and they’ve just pivoted to making stupid YouTube videos with rich assholes. No thanks.

Yeah, i saw that one. I don’t remember who it was, but the guy was a prick literally incapable of imagining himself being wrong.

Some of their older stuff was good. And there’s still a few good videos, especially the ridiculous selling cars ones.

However, that does not excuse 1. What happened. And 2. Posting a video and downplaying their negligence as a group. Ed should know better.

I’m totally fine with them speeding down empty roads so the only people they risk killing are themselves. But in traffic? Should get their asses handed to them.

I’m definitely in favor of indexing fines to wealth or income (including income from capital).

While undoubtedly most of the vinwiki people have lots of money I really enjoy most of their stories as many of them seem like more regular car guys who have been motivated/lucky enough to buy expensive toys.  However recently they have been dipping deep into the “YouTuber with money who likes to brag about his cars” end of the pool and I don’t appreciate it.

Yeah but Vinwiki also has Rabbit, the anti rich asshole.

American Autobahn insurance. AKA pockets full of cash.

I agree I think this is wise and some countries already do it. Otherwise a parking ticket could be rent for one person, or a couple of drinks with lunch for another.

Sorry. I don’t care for the shit-eating grin on this guy’s face and certainly not for the douchebaggery he is involved in.  I would hope the Honda driver got a significant payout.

Yes, it was.
