Nice mess. Lucky he didn't kill anyone. If he was doing 35, it was only for a brief moment on the way down from 55+. He had to be sailing pretty good to go thru that much stuff.

I wish there was a video of the flying G35, from different angles too! You know how tight of a commercial it would make?

I would guess because of G35 affordable pricing (due to cheap interior materials used) which make it available to more unqualified drivers that are taking the car beyond the design safety limits and driver abilities.
