To some having a luxury car is just not enough for some people they have got to flaunt the features they have and how cool their car actually is but for this one person that proved to be really expensive.
A Sydney man was forced to go to court after his luxury Mercedes burst into flames when he reportedly tried to do a burnout.?
After the man's Mercedes Benz AMG C63S coupe ignited, emergency services were called to Chester Hill just after midday on Sunday. This allegedly happened outside a wedding venue.?
It was later found that the 25-year-old driver and owner had been attempting a burnout. Officers from Bankstown Police Area Command were informed that the car had caught fire while being driven down the lane.
Unfortunately for the young driver, the whole thing was caught on camera and posted on social media.?

A video taken from the interior of the car shows the driver revving the engine until it starts to smoke, causing the three occupants of the car to make a hasty exit.
The wild moment was also captured by video from a spectator outside the car, with the man filming shouting 'Get out! Oh, get out! 'As the car starts to smoke and erupts in flames later on.?
The car was destroyed and the surrounding road affected by the crash, despite the efforts by firefighters who arrived at the scene.
The car was worth more than $100,000 (Rs 7 crore, roughly), NSW Police said.?

As if the loss of a hugely expensive vehicle wasn't bad enough, after he was released with a Potential Court Attendance Notice for driving reckless and careless driving, the guy will also face court.?
He is due to appear on March 11 at Bankstown Local Court.
Talk about revving it up. While the whole situation is obviously tragic for the Mercedes owner I can't help but think that if this was a movie ColdplayĄ¯s song Up In Flames might have been playing in the background.?
Do you think the driver had it coming or do you pity the Mercedes owner??
