I would argue that some people can afford to buy one but not neccissarily afford to "track" it. If this was his dd, then he was a fool to bring it to the track in the first place.

Is it the driver that is bad or the car?

If its the driver, never put a Mustang/Camaro driver behind a Z or R8?

So the guy scraped the side of his extremely expensive car.

Let me shed some crocodile tears, bwaaaah.

How do you guys have no sympathy?? The guy is actually using his sports car for driving on the track and he clearly gives a crap about the car. Even pro's make mistakes and crash cars at times. Give the guy a break, I'm sure he's a car nut like any one of us....in fact that clown in the R8 gets more respect for going out there and screwing up than those who will never drive a sports car the way its meant to be driven. I'm saying that in good humor, not personally for anyone. Again, disclaimer: No offense to anyone, I'm just sayin'

No no no... I'm not saying that I don't have sympathy for him.. I mean HELL... the guy just munched his R8!!! I would feel shtty after that too. All I'm saying is that based on the tone in his reaction, it doesn't seem that he should've taken it to the track that's all.

I think he should have kept it rolling through the tow coming and getting him. If i drove the tow truck it would have gone something along the lines of "u okay"-"yeah"-"wow u plowed that wall like a drunk girl that wore a miniskirt to prom"-lots of swearing

He might have not laughed... but I sure did. Lmao! I mean I really don't feel bad for the dude. He's chillin. He lives in a country that gave him opportunity and with drive, he afforded himself a audi R8. Unfortunately, not very skilled @ at it. But he will live. I have sympathy for those earthquake victims that lost whole families. Not some dude on a track.
Next time he won't make that mistake or he will realize he's just not built for the track.

I would have... hell.. life is too short. ppl that put too much importance on their car/s leave other areas of there life (usually the spouse area) hanging.

Remember pot heads, it's just a car. I do agree that millionairs don't like to lose money though. They are the usually the stingiest/cheapest ppl of all.

Yep. I know somebody who has millions in the bank and drives an old sh*t brown Camry, wears holey old clothes and resoles his shoes every year.

I also know somebody who is miserably working every hour they can find to pay off a new DB9 and extravagant lifestyle which they can barely afford. As long as they have the appearance of money, eh?
