If it had been an RX-8 driving in that snow on stock tires it would have likely flipped the barrier and killed a small group of children. Glad to see someone in the world who actually drives their supercars.

I cant agree more, finally someone who actually drives their cars. I like when he was saying that the chipping paint, and water in the intakes made it looks "meaner", thats just bad ***, i feel the same way.

ok, I'm going to be the desenting voice here. What a dumbass he is.

I have no problems with driving a car, especially a super car, the way a sports car should be driven, and if it get a few chips and dings, so be it, because you use the car the way it should have been intended for.

Now I'm sure he has so much money, it really doesn't matter to him, but to take that kind of a car out on a race track in the snow, knowing it's not going to perform the way you'd want it to, but trying it anyway is a dumbass idea, no matter how rich you are.

Thats like going out an buying a million dollar diamond ring and then throwing it away because you can afford too. Some of you may think it's pretty cool, but that kind of crap just pisses me off, just like actors spending 25K dollars on a pair of underware. Yea, they can afford it, but it's still stupid.

Now if he would have smacked up on a dry race track pushing the car, ok, but running like that on snow...like you don't know it isn't going to happen...

He had just bought the car. He was excited and wanted to go drive it. He's probably bored of playing with supercars on dry pavement and wanted to give it a go. It's like getting really good at football and then not playing in the rain because you're not going to perform to your absolute peak beacuse the ball and field will be slippery. There's more to life than being the best. He clearly wanted to have some fun performing some very slow laps around the snowy track in his brand new car.

Don't be jealous rodrigo. It was superficial dammage, easily fixed. That's about all that could happen when you're going that slow.

Also, had he known there was going to be snow on the track I don't think he would have made the drive in the first place. He took a chance in hopes there would be no snow and then he made the best of a bad situation. Was also nice of him to take the car out for Fifth Gear in those conditions.

Ok Ike, I'll buy that, since it's the most sense you've made in a while...

lol..Do you spend all day on this site?

Yes, I love the quattroporte, and the M5 . Any 4 door 5 passenger car that blows the doors off a mustang GT, is a nice piece of engineering, not to mention many other "sports" cars.

As far as buicks go, the Grand National was the "sheet" back in the day...
