There are subreddits for nearly anything you can imagine, since it’s likely people have thought about it too. Among the possible subsections of the site, one is completely devoted to problems that, in order to fix them, will require a substantial monetary investment. That is the realm of r/thatlookedexpensive.
What we’ve gathered here today are only a few of the most outlandish posts on there, which unsurprisingly, are mostly devoted to expensive cars being run over or vandalized. We tried to include some other entries here, but seeing expensive cars spontaneously combusting is too alluring to pass up.

Plane Into Pole
A barely two month old Airbus A321neo had a few flights in, and no clear need of maintenance in sight. That is, until the pilot miscalculated a turn and rammed the nose of the plane into a nearby pole.

Storm Damage
The Rogers Stadium suffered heavy storm damage recently, leading to all of these seats being crumbled and shifted around. Fortunately, this happened when no one was around.

Hole In Sink
After a party, one can expect a broken bottle or vase as drunken guests stumble around, with the main area of disaster being the bathroom. But how exactly one guest made a hole in the sink is anyone’s guess.

Struck By Lightning
When out and about under an electrical storm, you’re safest while inside a car, since a lightning strike would hit the car’s metal and conduct the electricity away from you. The car itself, though, would catch fire, giving you plenty of time to exit the vehicle but destroying it in the process.

Egg Splatter
Any kind of car crash is tragic, with this one being no exception. The strange liquid on the road seems puzzling, until you realize that the truck that was struck was in the middle of an egg delivery.

Flipped By Storm
Any kind of unfortunate damage to a plane, no matter the size, can threaten to make it unusable, since the repairs can get incredibly expensive. For small planes like this one, you’d think that this is an easy to recover situation, but you’d be surprised at the damage being flipped by a strom can do to an aircraft.

Crack On Foundation
A crack on any wall is something to be wary of, but on foundation walls it is particularly scary. While it can be fixed, it needs to be treated with extreme care, since those walls are what keep the structure of the building together.

Mud Parking
We’ve all had that moment of driving on a dirt road and, after a rainy day, getting a tire stuck on the mud. We don’t expect this to happen to pilots of commercial aircrafts, much less when the road is right there.

Falling Camera
Stadiums are made for people to enjoy a given performance/sport, so of course they are filled to the brim with cameras to catch all the action. Like any kind of technical problems, the ways in which these cameras are attached can fail, leading to them falling hazardously to the ground.

Boat Vs. Bridge
We’ve all seen bridges that rise or lower according to traffic demands, and in this case, the bridge was doing its job by letting the boat pass. The boat decided to get too close for comfort, and generated a huge traffic jam since the bridge could no longer be lowered.

Wheel Failure
The wheels on a plane need to be sturdy enough to support the enormous weight of the aircraft, so it is rare for them to give in. Rare, but not impossible, as seen on this picture where the plane is laying flat on the ground.

Trapped In Cables
When trucks leave their cargo behind, they need to remember to put the bed down, since roads are not made with ‘tall’ vehicles in mind. This is what can happen when the driver isn’t careful.

Careless Parking
A car suddenly appearing in your house is sure to be a life changing experience, although exactly what this space of the house was used for is more puzzling than the car sticking out.

Helicopter Swim
Did you know that helicopters are incredibly expensive? Particularly rescue ones like this Sikorsky MH-60S, so having to rescue it from the ocean is guaranteed to necessitate some bank checks.

Triple Fire
At Mount Washington, a car exploded, setting fire to the other two next to it. One thing is to have your car explode for whatever reason, another entirely is to have your car set ablaze because of where you chose to park it.
