The car was totaled[1] . Bummer.
It was also mentioned that the employee driving it was not licensed.

Man, that Lexus has some power Too bad he didn't try to pull the emergency brake.

The employee doesn't need a drivers license because typically, they are not driving on the public roads. They're mostly all here illegally anyways.

I find it strange the guy keep his foot on the pedal for so long, look like the car is speeding up all the way untill it hit the car on the other side of the road.

Full service,,,, anything, we havent had there here since the erly 70ties.

Full service,,,, anything, we havent had there here since the early 70ties.

Still common here, Americans are lazy. Cost around $25-35 at most places. You can also do an outside wash only, no interior cleaning or vacuuming for $10.

Jeez that's nuts - like the guys have said he must have had his foot planted as you see the back end skip initially but he keeps his foot down and drives through all the traffic!

It's not even got that much torque but it sure moves stuff out of it's way. The older ones used to have an issue where the mat could ride up too far and if you floored the pedal it would keep it depressed - they're held on tight by clips now so this must have just been someone who had no idea what they were doing in a car :/

You'd think at least if they're letting them sit behind a wheel even if they can't drive they'd know what to do with the pedals. Oops!

Expensive lesson for the business owner: if your staff drive a vehicle, even if it's only on private property, make sure they're licensed!

with that much damage to the lexus, i'd love to see the damage caused to the parked car, and the one sitting in traffic that was clipped. wouldn't be surprised if the parked one was totaled too. probably blew the airbags in the lexus which helped total it.
