Let's just say that the geezer slow poke who makes everyone behind them crazy and the overconfident or distracted teen are both bad news...I stay as far away as possible, haha:happy0180:

Thats funny because most VW's aren't exactly torque monsters either, the domestic (Vette/Viper/GT500) guys would piss themselves laughing if they read about GTi owners bashing the FRS for its lack of torque.

Agreed, but money certainly doesn't make you a better driver either. Have you seen some of the videos on Youtube of exotics and supercars being wrecked? Especially Lambo Gallardos for some reason; makes me nervous to be anywhere near one now.

Yeah, for that price, he could have crashed a Mustang or a Genesis Coupe.

I don't think people should be drawing conclusions just from looking at a picture. Why does everyone assume if they see a picture of a damaged BRZ/FRS that it was being drifted by a kid? It could have been a dad in his 50s just driving normally and forced off the road.

Does every new car get a Jalopnik story every time one crashes? I don't think 3 cars in crashes out of 3000+ on the road (in the US alone) is enough to say they are more or less likely to be wrecked than any other car.
