You'll notice that a lot of the wrecks are caused by people burning out while turning at at intersection and also while driving over-powered cars. The drivers predict in their heads what the move will look like-- A drift around the corner, then it catches and they launch a little then back off, having now impressed the crowds. Of course what happens is that when they start to lose it, they back off very suddenly and it catches and their front wheels are now in the 'drift' position instead of forward, so they whiplash the other direction and it all goes to hell from there. In short, these people have never actually tried this maneuver before and have no idea what a bad idea it is. Honestly I think it'd take quite a bit of practice to pull that one off. You'd have to be one with the car and know how to be ever-so-subtle with the throttle and know how to recover from the edge. You dont get that skill if you've been driving your Ferrari to a show or a fancy restaurant once per month in nice weather.

Brilliant find Twobone! When I finished laughing at some of the stupidity...I am humble enough to remember that I do recall achieving a massive fail something like these guys as a pimply 17yo in my first car (ok maybe second and third cars too) .... Luckily I matured with no lasting damage from the broken legs, collarbone, arm, concussion....

 

Also these videos kept calling out a name for me...Boxologist, Boxologist, Boxologist.... :jester:

I love the news "reporter" claiming that the Corvette crashed at 165 mph! Ummm ... a C4 Vette with a Crown Vic keeping up doing 165? Yeah, right.

When I see this kind of car abuse it makes me cringe and feel sorry for the machinery and contempt for the driver. The driver got what he/she deserved, the car did not.
