Mustang owners are famous for crashing their rides during ‘Cars and Coffee’ events, often while trying to drift them.
However, pulling off at low speeds can be just as painful sometimes, especially when the car in question is a rare and expensive McLaren P1.
While paying more attention to the small crowd rather than his ride, the driver of this exotic McLaren forgot to check out the surroundings before driving off, and ended up scraping the lower right side of the P1 against the curb.
The damage made to the passenger door won’t buff out, as the part is made from carbon fiber, so the man should expect a very expensive repair bill from the shop.
The minor accident happened over the weekend, during a ‘Cars and Coffee’ meet in Malibu, California, and didn’t go by unseen by Jay Leno, who was present at the event.
The famous car collector arrived at the scene minutes later, assessing the damage, and exchanging a few words with the driver and other enthusiasts on site.
Some may have noticed that the McLaren P1 used a parking spot for disabled people, but to his excuse, the owner was apparently asked to do so by the organizers of the event, according to Instagram user Bdam24, who shared the two of videos that follow.
“At these meets, the organizers tell people where to park, and it so happened he [McLaren P1 owner] was placed in a handicap one!”
