Don't assume because you are smart and successful enough to be able to afford a GT3RS lease payment that you also have the judgement, maturity and car control experience to actually drive it fast.
"This car'll do 180mph!
I just bought one!
I'm rich! I must be capable of driving a car 180mph! Noice!"

(Plus, the GT3RS and other street supercars absolutely do not have the safety equipment and crash structure for the high speeds that they generate. It's criminal when you think about it. I hate that I feel that way because I love seeing fast cars. I just don't love these high speed accidents on public roads.)
