Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.

It is possible to own an expensive sports car and not be a giant prick who is a hazard to others in traffic. But the people who buy an expensive sports car purely for the pleasure of driving are much more likely to take it to a track than be dumb on the street, because there aren’t a lot of streets where you can really experience the car to its full potential.

A really expensive car can make you feel like an amazing driver, but can also very suddenly reveal if you’re actually skilled enough to drive it. A lot more people have the money for these cars than the money and skills for these cars.

When I used to race, myself and a few other guys used to embarrass exotics at the track because my Civic cost less than their last major service and I wasnt afraid (financially) of putting it into the wall.

Possible but not probable.
