anyone who's into cars enough to have ever seen top gear knows that even very good drivers can lose control of an AWD supercar, blame should be on the driver

I like to think I am a darn good driver but sometimes I wonder why do I think so much about what is next. Throw down and get a Lambo? Be smart and look for a great deal on a 997 TT? Then I have days where I ask myself "Why on Earth do you need anything in regards to a fast car"? It is something to get you from A to B and the odds of damage increase with the higher hp cars. What if there were a check list on our death beds regarding what we did with our lives and better yet what we did for others. I doubt "He had a nice car" would be listed. I am now jumping down from this soap box.

you yourself said the guy was an employee. If he gets to take cars out for rides just like that then lets assume he's been given some level of trust and hedoesn't think AWD is some kind of magic, and instead assume that he thought his wreckless driving would make the women want to touch his pee pee

![]() You failed because you are placing the blame in the wrong place. And you failed because you actually think the blame should be anywhere but on the driver. You failed because your logic is stupid.

You need to backtrack on this argument. I have never heard anyone say an AWD sports car would keep an inexperienced driver safe when they are driving unsafely. I have a GT-R and it will bite me in the ass if I'm not careful. I would actually make a counter argument that AWD cars are a little trickier to drive because it's hard to tell where their edge is.

since the driver was an employee of VAG, you could blame him and VAG at the same time. I win. Yay for me. But seriously, who drives crazy in a supercar in the wet??? How stupid.

You can blame the idiot driver for his immediate and final actions, but if he was an employee driving the car on company time, you also have to blame VAG for letting him have the keys. The company can't control the stupidity of owners after they buy a Lambo from them, but they can and should control how the car is used while they possess it. It sounds like that car was a loaded gun VAG left laying around.

Unless you're a dipshit, it's pretty hard to wreck an AWD car. Either you're entering a corner too fast, or you fuck up a transition bad enough to the point that the weight is shifting every which way. Or you go airborne, like how this went, I guess.
