You said it. I think all rich people who have sports cars and can't drive
em or don't drive em like their sports car should have them taken away and
given to those less fortunate....like me for example!!:-) Merry x-mas
everyone!!!

The driver obviously didn't have a clue what the car's abilities are. If
you took the on ramp at 90, i'm sure the 355 would have made it no problem
at like 120-130. It's always the people that have no business in a car that
outstanding that can afford it.
Cool story though.
