Pulling onto a busy street and punching the throttle? That's stupid times two. Best wishes for the poor folks who were standing in the wrong place.

I never understand these cars and coffee events where some idiot pulls out and goes out of control. Gives all of us car people a bad name.

Stupidity should be painful!

The people standing there are not very smart either. I hope they mend quickly.

Most of the people at our cruise-ins and cars and coffee events have learned over the past couple of years that stupid behavior will get them banned by the organizers, arrested or ostracized by other participants. And, of course, most of us remember the moron in a Shelby Mustang leaving an event who lit 'em up on the highway, lost control, spun through a ditch, across a frontage road and into a gas station, where he'd slowed enough to stop gently against one of the gas pumps.

How do you spin a 981 Boxster Spyder going straight? Seems like that would take a special level of stupid.

Hahaha but seriously. One of the local C&C events near me has a about 1/2 city block reserved for cars leaving the event to show off if they so desire. They also, wisely IMESHO, 'stage' each vehicle so it is pointing straight ahead before it pulls out. All very professional, police on site, etc. No turning 90 degrees onto busy streets and punching throttles.
