Only the absurd amount of money spent on the LFA only to have it shattered is the funny part however loss of driver isn't exactly funny by any means.

Paddy and I went to that event. It was a lot of fun. Turns out that race tires and torsen diffs aren't good for drifting though.

The same could be said about lots of other forms of motorsport as well.

Based on this demonstration, I think an E30 325ix would have done fairly well at the NJ event this year...



I've heard people call the E30 a "tank" of a car, but this is a little over the top.

I guess they substituted a Lucas harness in the E46 version :shock: The one I'm driving now would have died at the first puddle. Or the dashboard warning system would have lit up like a christmas tree!

this one isn't a "Funny Motorpsorts Video", but I thinks it's apt to share, especially at this time of year
