Perhaps they were good tires, but not great tires!

I wish I could remember that magazine quote that went something like, “...tended to over rotate in a turn at the point of reduced driver capability...”

That’s not it, but it seems to apply here.

More money than brains? The good news is that no one was seriously hurt.

Yea, but it's best if they aren't prodded to do so.

Quote:
The driver, who is currently unidentified and described as an “adult”, left the crash relatively unscathed and was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Worked as designed to.

Flex Tape, good one mreid.

No jokes yet about the cause statement?

Quote:
The cause of the crash is not immediately clear.
Answer in the same article.

Quote:
A Lamborghini was “cut in half” after its driver crashed into a concrete light pole, the Fairfax Fire and Rescue Department said.
What I find odd about the story is no mention of a passenger.

Typically there is a passenger the driver is showing off for and alcohol is often involved. Oh, and these things seem to happen at night more often, don't they?

That's the result of the crash, not the cause of the crash.......

Yes, but that thin line is the humorist's tool of the trade.

Take it to the Garage Monkey guys or whatever that other show is where they fixed the Ferrari.

Good as new!
