The lead car must've been that Yaris, probably an R model.  [cheeky]

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I was out yesterday and something like this basically happened right in front of me... not supercars though, just a whole long line of beemers/wrx's/sti's.

I was coming down a curvy mtn road behind another car and in front of that, a guy on a bicycle.  Coming up the hill was this huge line of those cars, and then I noticed the first couple of beemers drifting the corner so I slow down and move more to the side... when all of a sudden one of the beemers just drifts... right off the edge of the corner.  All you see is this car sliding off the road, a huge bang sound, and then leaves get thrown up everywhere.

Basically, it looked exactly like that c5 c6 vid that was posted a couple of days ago.  My first thought was... g'dammit, I knew I should have gotten that gopro!

Maybe the guy in front saw a pelican.

Maybe a turkey? [laugh]

Goodness. That looks real expensive. Probably caused by texting. ;)

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Doesnt surprise me. 

In Japan they drive on the correct side of the road  [thumbsup]

Yet the steering wheels on every one of the wrecked exotica are all in front of the passenger's seat. 

No bloody wonder they crashed  [roll].

Maybe they were all just cruising down the road when out of no where they get passed by the guy in the Pruis with a stuck accelerator. The sight of getting blown off the road by a hybrid caused them all to loose control.

the really funny part will be if they are all insured by the same company....
