Japan. News said the 12 cars were running at 90mph when one car tried ti pass his buddy, hit the guardrail collecting the other 11 cars. They obviously need a couple of COM schools.

Getting the nose under the guardrail is pretty scary. Happened to me once in a Formula Vee.

AP writeup here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... 000S75.DTL.

Obviously, AP hasn't a clue as to the value of automobiles, much less automobiles in Japan; writer probably takes the subway to work. :roll:
