What a shame.

Him and the people who were standing in traffic are both morons.

"The driver was making a turn at a major intersection and preformed an impressive controlled drift maneuver through the intersection up to the moment he collided into a car and a truck standing in traffic at the opposite turning lane."

if that was controlled, id hate to see uncontrolled.

Yes. What they failed to include in the write up was that the driver of the GT was an incompetent, wealthy, DH of a driver who was showing off at the wrong intersection.

I hope he is still uppercutting himself as I type this.

All in all. Very nice motorcar. I'll give him credit for his taste in cars ....... even if his driving skills suck.

For insurance purposes lets just call it creative licence. The two bits were doing 30mph.
