Quote
TOKYO (AP) — An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup — smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together.
Wow, this will make you cry.
Bunch of Japanese enthusiasts driving their cars, but not very well, on the local roads.
Fourteen total cars involved in the accident. What a bunch of clowns!

Actually, I did.
I used to work for a Japanese company in the US, and I have made several trips to Japan.
Typical situation where the lack of common sense was overridden by pseudo-testosterone.

Wonder how fast they were going? 

Do you think those guys drive every day or is that something they don't do much?

Jamie I know what you are talking about.

Back in 92-93 the Harley Dealer in Clarksville, TN couldn't keep used bikes around for long.  A broker would come in every couple of weeks representing a Japanese company that would buy used Harleys and ship them to Japan.

I know what you mean - complete idiots who have more money than I, and a lot less common sense......

Oddly, the Japanese culture requiring adherence to rules and laws probably dictated a crash speed of 45 mph....

Once upon a time I spent money on tools I didn't know/learn how to use properly. I learned the lesson, and I'm glad it cost me less than a Ferrari.

Indians ARE Asian.

You probably really meant "oriental" rather than "asian". Yet another perfectly useful word ruined by PC.

Don't tell most Indians they are Asian.

Most Indians I talk to agree that they are Asian. If they differ, it's because they don't want to be grouped with Orientals, in which case, they make my point for me.
