Cold tires. Yeah. Thats it.

That's funny.

What an idiot.

That was perfect - no one harmed (other than the driver's ego), just ideal retribution/public embarrassment for a mega-douche move.

That was too entertaining

What an idiot. Proof once again that money (or the illusion of it) does not automatically convey intelligence, common sense or class.

I'm puzzled that it happened at such a low speed.

I only watched it once, but it didn't seem like he was even doing anything all that crazy.

I had no idea these cars were set up that loose from the factory.

did the guy actually blame the tires?

I had a friend talking E36 M3 about BF Goodrich KDW tires once, claiming that their traction sucked.

Totaled his car when he lost control of it. Street racing. Trying to brake HARD from 100mph. On summer tires. In the middle of winter.

lol

As if evidence of that were hard to come by.

Wow. Who knew cold tires could be so dangerous? I think it's about time we got the good people in Washington to pass a law that requires auto manufacturers to install a tire-warming system in every new car for sale in these United States.

That's a good point, actually. You'd think the AWD would've carried him through...

...but maybe with traction control completely disabled, it's a different story.

That is what happens when you apply throttle too aggressively while trying to turn, then lift.

yep, looks like he exited via the SW quadrant and re-entered somewhere in the NW quadrant, with the assistance of the two cars.

perfect place to park something like that... at least nobody except the owner's ego got hurt

That's the saddest wreck I've ever seen.
