    So the kid has literally 4-5 years driving experience and the owner just hands him the keys to a million dollar car? Stupid on the owners part, I know, its tempting to just floor it sometimes, especially in a fast car like the Apollo, and with the presence of a female

    I like to phrase it that he ran out of talent.

    what a shame. glad he wasn't hurt, but honestly I think there should be a racing/fast driving school prerequisite before being able to purchase any car that can seriously hurt you. lambo/ferrari/gumpert etc. even though so many of these cars are tech'd up with abs and traction control etc, the drivers inexperience of driving/controlling a fast car will overcome all those safety features.
