Golf star's crashed Porsche sparks mystery

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

A crashed half-million-dollar Porsche possibly owned by golf star Patrick Reed has sparked a huge mystery.

Joe Pompliano of TheDrive.com, tweeted photos of the car and provided the back story.

After winning the 2018 Masters, Reed seemingly purchased a $450,000 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. (There is such a thing as entry-level or low-end Porsches. This is not one of them.)

Only 1,000 of those Porsche models were manufactured in the U.S. If that didn’t make it unique enough, Reed had his painted in a custom Masters paint scheme, with yellow brake calipers.

That car recently turned up on an auto salvage website, totally wrecked.

1. I think the answer to the mystery might be that Reed is an idiot.

2. Has dui crash and run written all over it

A buddy tows the car and takes care of it, meanwhile no one is the wiser.

3. Entitled and privileged. No report of crash to DMV.

4. Insurance?

5. Those are not custom colors, forest green w yellow calipers are very popular

On a Porsche 911 S, Targa, Turbo, GTS, GT3 etc. Yellow, red, and blue calipers show up across the entire line. As does Forest Green; since the 60s.

And people put cars like that on a track all the time, and likewise wreck them.

Patrick Reed is a tool, but this is silly speculation.

Same year with the GTS emblem delete.

6. That Porsche model is more than a handful

Paul Walker was killed in a simiar one a few years back.

Inexperienced driver of a powerful car. May have turned of the traction control and other safety stuff.
Lets see what this baby will do......
Fortunatley he didn't hurt anyone that we know of.

There was a similar crash with a football player a few years ago involving a superbike in a parkign lot.
Here in Germany you get licences that increase with testing and training.

8. Mystery? "Footballer crashes supercar into a hedge" was a running Top Gear punchline for like, a couple decades.

Nothing's changed, except maybe it's golf now. Idiot gets money, buys a supercar, wrecks it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

It takes talent, that you may not have, to handle a lot of horsepower, regardless.
