Isn't there some type of ugly stereotype about asian drivers?

What a waste of fine horsepower.
Proof that there is no correlation between money and brains. :cray:

I blame the Prius.
My thoughts exactly
I saw pictures on the news and you have to think they were going really fast to do that kinda damage to them all.
This is almost sig worthy-
The automobile enthusiasts, aged between 37 and 60, were condemned by Japanese police. "It was a gathering of narcissists"
you know most of these guys probably work hard and "caught the bug" We do it with weapons, but there are guy's out there who love cars. It sucks that these beautiful machines were damaged or destroyed. I wouldn't think some guy waiving his dick around would join an auto club, I'm sure most of these guys are serious enthusiasts and I feel for them. Think about how you would feel, especially some of you class III guys, if someone emptied your safe, thew your weapons off a bridge and then poured gasoline on them and threw a match........anyone get a little chill up their back?

If you can afford those cars you can damn sure afford to take professional driving lessons.
I also believe just because you have money does not mean you are not a dumbass or a competent human being.

i agree, but at 100mph it only takes 1 idiot to make all of the rest pay! I'd like to withhold my opinion until I see a traffic video of what happened.

Don't worry I'm sure if they can afford those cars, they can afford the insurance. Probably just gonna buy another one as if it was another pair of shoes.

To have made that type of $$ they are likely borderline megalomaniacs who would never admit they are not at least a demi-god, if not the real deal. Can you see that type of personality sitting in a class for several hours while being lectured on approach line, apex, braking, etc; by a person whose net worth is less than the rich dude spent on redecorating his second bathroom?
Of all the folks I have met that made themselves multi-millionaires only 3 are not complete and utter failures as human beings.

They probably just finished playing Forza4/GT5 and forgot about the physics involved with the real world...
Seriously though...
As I'm sure you all know cars like that can break the tires loose at 50+MPH, it doesn't take much to lose control...

This is very true.
I am part of a national Subaru auto club. Several of my friends race semi pro in the NASA circuit. They get a lot of their expensive racing tires from the Porsche and Ferrari drivers because they change them after every race even if they are still good. They also get really mad when they get beat by an eight year old Subaru. Money doesnt buy skill.
Video of my friend. Who by the way is an Airforce jet mechanic as well.
