I remember that video from some time ago...you could see right away that they are going to crash, as they can barely stay on the road.

That's what happens when you buy a 21 year old an 11 second car. Not an issue of being spoiled, of course, "Jay Chen's" parents are free to do as they please, but I can't say I didn't see this coming.

Then again, I've personally been just as stupid as that kid as far as the street racing goes, so I can't say I'm any better. Just luckier that I came out alive/without any damages. The street racing days are behind me.

Dear lord, and it was a $125,000 special edition GT-R, apparently. Lucky kid.

Although personally, I'd have gone for the slower (but sleeker) v8 R8 for that kind of cash at the tender age of 21.

Should have gone over the side of a mountain. F'ing parents these days.... [smh]
Age does not mean anything in plain context. I own and drove high powered go karts that accelerate up to 100-110 mph faster than the GTR before I got my license. I also have driven friend's expensive cars around that price tag and power and have been tempted to do crazy things, but I know that is what the tracks are for, which in this case the guy should have take it to instead. Plus, it is not like things like this do not happen with older 30-40 year old men crashing their exotics doing stupid stuff.

So that's the guy that crashed the GT-R. I saw the video a while back. I'm glad they got caught for fraud.
