A 71-year-old driver took her brand new Model S to grab a bite to eat at the Lure Fish House. What she didn't count on was her shiny new EV being hungry for more than just electricity. Or maybe she just hit the gas when she meant to hit the brake. You be the judge.

A teenager in Italy had just finished refueling his brand-new Aventador when he pulled out into the street and collided with a motorcycle. Luckily, no one was injured, but both the Aventador and the bike took damage. Judging from the photo, it looks like the Aventador driver must not have looked before pulling out, leading the bike to crash into it. There's our lesson, new supercar drivers (and drivers, in general): always look before you turn left.

Tyga was on his way to Vegas in his new Aventador when it started snowing, and he had this unfortunate accident. Then he did what anyone would do: threw a photo up on Instagram and wrote "Just crashed my lambo. Thank God for the seatbelt!"

The brand-new Bentley was involved in a hit and run down on 18th street and 5th ave in NYC. The Bentley was found locked on 15th street, partially sticking out into the road. From there, the cops towed the luxury ride, which has heavy damage to the front end and passenger door, out of the 10th precinct and into the 13th precinct.

Truck driver David Dopp won this Murcielago in a contest. Only six hours after being presented with the keys, he crashed it. News reports say it was 31 degrees out, and you can see snow in this picture. We're guessing the combination of "OMGSUPERCARWTF" and stock tires that aren't meant for snow were large contributors to its unfortunate demise.

Time Of Ownership: Less than two hours

For the ultimate in "buyer's remorse," a couple laid out $220,000 (depreciation ftw, in this case) for this Murcielago. Well, no, not this Murcielago. The one they bought was in fantastic condition. This is what was left when they crashed it and fled the scene of the accident just a couple hours after completing the sale.

Only 4,038 of these were produced, but after this Qatar crash, only 4,037 remained. Later that same week, another one got wrecked (though not as badly, and not by a new owner). Somebody needs to open a supercar driving school.

Let's say you're Afrojack. One day, you wake up and think, "Man, my Audi R8 is tired. I need a new whip." So, you buy a 458 Italia. Seems legit, right? Until you crash it only an hour after taking delivery. This photo came from Afrojack's Twitter feed, accompanied with the text "Ok that sucks, good thing were all ok!!!! lesson in life: dont drive a ferrari in shit weather!" He later bought a blue 458 Italia to replace this one.

Time Of Ownership: 2 days
Msrp Of Wrecked Car: $225,829 stock; Underground Racing's Stage 1 turbo kit boosts HP to 700 for an additional $59,000. At the time, it was the ONLY 458 Italia outfitted by Underground Racing.

This driver was attempting a high-speed run at a club event on a runway. He braked too late and ran out of runway, resulting in this crash. Way to go, driver. At least take it out for dinner first before you toss it around like that.

A 50-year-old man had finally fulfilled his dream of buying this Zonda. He then smashed into a fence with it later that week, for reasons unknown. While the passenger was able to walk away with only minor injuries, the driver was killed in this accident because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt, and flew out of the car when it crashed. We won't even try to make something funny out of that; it's just sad all around.

Full details of this crash aren't known, but we do know the owner of this incredibly rare Aston had this car less than a week before (what looks like) curbing it in Hong Kong. How rare is this car, exactly? As the name implies, only 77 were created. Sure, it's not as rare as a Pagani Zonda Cinque or a Ferrari 250 GTO, but still.

It always seems like the most boring, average cars are victims of these supercars losing control. In this case, the Murci hit a Chevrolet Aveo in Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. Purchased only one month before the accident, the car's engine compartment caught fire and burnt to the ground.
