Brand new Shelby GT500 wrecked into garage

While rejoicing over the families newest purchase, a brand new Shelby GT500 was maliciously wrecked through a garage after handing the keys over to a 14 year old newb. Unaware of manual transmission and it's nature, the not so savvy motorist made a terrible newb mistake. After pressing in the clutch to start the car, he let the peddle up and engaged first gear. The car lurches, and then resumes the torque driven first gear roll. At about five miles per hour, the car is driven through a garage wall and wrecked as it rests upon the house. Only feet away from another 1968 Mustang, this wreck could have turned a $50,000 purchase into a $100,000 mistake.

Let this be a lesson to all of us. If you purchase a new sports car, while showing it off keep the keys to yourself. Never let the keys of a modern super car be in the hands of a 14 year old child! Imagine the destruction that would have occurred had he hit the gas instead of the brake pedal. What if someone was standing in front of the car? Someone could have been seriously hurt or killed. Everyone in the following video is lucky that only the car was damaged during this incredibly stupid accident.
