Thank goodness Oscar got a Mclaren and not an 86 or BRZ... Entirely unfortunate situation in general...

This is one of those cars that makes it tempting to pick up the pace, so comfortable at higher speeds. My wife drove on the highway yesterday for only her second time, within 5 min the detector was going off and the sheriff turned around in the median behind us.. Fortunately he was after someone else, but close call.
