Ugh....

At the end of the day, if the whole point of your 918 Spyder purchase was to be "seen", Mission accomplished! This is one hell of a way to get noticed globally! :P

The guy is a D bag. The most hilarious part - the hazard lights being on after the crash. That's super important in this situation.

This is a safety thing...When the airbags deploy, automatically the hazards come on..

Oh those Russians...

We should keep track of how many 918 are left that have not been crashed.
-1. Gas station fire
-1. Walter Rohl track crash
-1. This tool.

At least he didn't run into a horse, a real hazard on Russian roads.

That horse is smarter than most of the Russian drivers featured in that vid - he used the cross walk!

The only reason people drive like that in Russia is because every cop there can be paid off on the spot. In fact that is why the cops pulls you over in the first place, is to get paid not to give you a fine. Thus, people drive under the influence, on the side walks, in on-coming lanes, etc.. There is no real punishment. It is changing now, but its had to make the cops stop taking bribes when their salary is so low and not enough people wanting to become a cop because they get no respect from anyone for obvious reasons.

Ok, back to 918 crash now
