For many years, the Corvette was one of the the most expensive cars to insure. Guys would go out and buy one, and figure they could drive it like the folks in the movies or TV shows.
There is an entire web site full of photos of crashed supercars. It is not a new phenomenon.
Back in November I was in Arkansas on the fantastic back roads in my analog 85 911 on a day with rain and wet roads. Most of the others in the group had modern cars with all the bells and whistles of ABS, traction control, stability control and so on, and I was very much concentrating to not go above 60% of of what I figured the limit was as a slight miscalculation on wet roads would could be bad stuff. I still had no real problem keeping up with the group but I was super alert.
Jay Leno's line is something like all men think they are great lovers, and great drivers, and they are very wrong on both counts.
