So, seriously, how does that work for the driver? Is it like, "You break it, you buy it?"

What a dumbass. The auto world has been waiting for this car to come out forever, and one of the first off the production line is already turned into scrap metal.

Anyone else notice the fact that if you cover up the very back end of that car, it has the exact same side profile as a Mustang?

Everytime I see that clip, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You have to wonder what, if anything, was going through Griffin's mind at the time. It's not as if he was screaming around a corner at 100mph+... he just pulled out, turned around, and headed right for the barrier wall at a leisurely pace. And then, his sh*t-eating grin as he's standing there afterwards, knowing that at that moment, he's the undisputed world champion of stupidity. I wouldn't loan the man the keys to my riding mower after that little stunt.

Most wrecks are caused by a lapse of judgement. Very, very few can truly be considered completely unavoidable "acts of God".
