Guy Takes Pandemic Opportunity To Rip Through NYC Streets In A Gemballa, Immediately Crashes

Guy Takes Pandemic Opportunity To Rip Through NYC Streets In A Gemballa, Immediately Crashes

It’s not clear if notorious supercar street racer @bc was at the wheel of his blue Gemballa Mirage GT, a tuned Porsche Carrera GT, if such a thing was necessary, at the time it ran wild on the virus-cleared streets of Manhattan. What is clear is the driver was completely off the rails. (Update: He did it.)

Anyone who has taken any drive in the city during the coronavirus shutdown can’t help but idly dream of running the empty streets. Even non-car people were talking to me about pulling an Afroduck.

But there has never been as good an advertisement for staying at home than whoever crashed and re-crashed this Gemballa.

I have no idea what a Gemballa is. I'm guessing it ain't cheap. NT mahatmakanejeeves Apr 2020 #2
