Driving WAY to fast for conditions. The poor car was destroyed by someone that does not understand the concept of hydroplaning.

Wow.

Good tires, mused Bob. But certainly not great tires.

Someone will blame that on the weather.
And how do we know the Cayman is tough? We don't see the end result.

When your skinny jeans are too tight, they cut off circulation to your brain.

Exactly, and I'm sure his insurance company is loving the video.

Unless, of course, he was driving it like that because he stole it.

I'd hardly say the Cayman is tough based on that vid. It was utterly destroyed.

I thought all cars explode when they get airborne?

I don't know of any that do. But almost all do upon landing, as they are designed that way - it is better for the energy to dissipate through scattering plastic parts than it is for it to go thru human tissue. Cars are safer this way than they have ever been.


(I'm guessing you were tongue squarely in cheek)

yes the 4 weight-off-the-wheel switches ignite the fuel tank all the time.
