A failed street race has led to ₦400 million in damages, involving a rented Corvette Stingray that crashed into a rented Dodge Challenger, along with a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The collision caused severe damage to all three vehicles, sparking major online discussions.

One of the Corvette drivers has publicly appealed for donations to cover the massive repair costs, which has only added to the social media buzz.
