    We're probably fortunate he cracked it up before mixing it up with traffic. Seems not to know his machine very well.

    You see a lot of people like this. They think that just because they can buy one that they know how to drive it. They should learn to drive a high performance car before they buy one. There are courses that they can take.

    Yup...
    Do you have any idea how many of Dodge's Hellcats never made it home from the dealerships?
    It's scary!

    I think a person should be required to take a special drivers training course before being able to purchase one of these beasts.

    My puny little 400hp car can scare the crap out of you at times. I can't imagine having 800+.

    This is probably why Ferrari will not sell some of their higher end cars to just anyone.

    Yep! You folks have it covered. There is a red one in the Eagle River area. I usually see it about once a year.

    Mentioned before, but reminds me of the neighbor back in WI. She was driving her Vette home from the body shop and put it up a tree before she got to her driveway. Back to the shop.

    The really bad part in all this is everyone running over laughing and taking pictures. Oh sorry that's not bad it's funny as all get out. Maybe he needs to fix it and sell it to a real car guy. Then go out and buy a smart car or a prius electric car.

    I would recommend the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving here in the Phoenix area.

    Judging by the number of cars taking that corner at speed and the number of spectators lining the curb this was a setup.

    Here in Phoenix today there was a "good boy" and "outstanding athlete" (high school junior) who rolled his truck THREE times in front of his school. He is in the hospital tonight in very serious condition. Bet he really impressed his girl.

    This happens every year at Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach. People line up to see the cars leave, and the blood gets to pumping. Before you know it everyone is doing burnouts as they leave. Sooner or later, someone looses control, and sometimes the bystanders or oncoming traffic pays the price.
    Cars and Coffee has become a big thing everywhere, and it is causing this type of thing to happen more often. When I was in my early 20's, the pressure probably would have been too great and I would do a burnout as well. But now I just leave nicely. Last time I did a rolling burnout while leaving a cars and coffee was on my 2012 RSS this past spring. Totally in control, and nothing too extravagant. Control and in moderation is the key thing.
