Man I feel bad for this guy in the vid.

RCZ · 01-18-2010, 05:55 PM

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.

Oh because he should have just laughed? Even people that are millionaires don't like to lose money.

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?

or perhaps its the opposite. perhaps some guys become too attached to their cars after having bad experiences with girls. I know since i've been there.

Also, what's the deal. So the guy spun out on a track, heck some guys here spun out the z on the STREET! so he is a bit pissed at damaging his new car, who wouldn't be? who doesn't get pissed off if they drop a new blackberry or digital camera, or if a shopping cart dented their brand new car, even if its a camry or something.

So how exactly would you have reacted to that? I mean come on KillerBee.

you know what, that is a very good point. thats one of the reasons i want to sell my evo, i will never truly take advantage of its performance.

much respect to the guy in the vid for taking a car that can perform to a track unlike 98% of other owners of cars in that league that barely drive it at all.

Are there any tracks in Hawaii? I've heard there is one on the big island. One would assume that there is one on Oahu since that place is pretty much urban sprawl like LA.

A beautiful, beautiful car. :c

actually the interior unless its been modded look ugly from that view. This dude that own an R8 4.2 in Hemet, CA of all places (he owns this clothing store chain) put these ugly wheels on it and it looks terrible. And he acts like his 100k+ car is the fastest thing ever when you go down there and see tons of retired people driving C6 vettes around. Not to mention the Saboba Indian tribe with their 10k a month salaries they get... for free I might add.
