That reminds me of a story in the UK some twenty years ago when new registrations plate changes were once a year (1st Sept); dealerships were opening a midnight to allow customers to pick up there new cars. Someone had picked up there new Bentley Azure and decide to 'test it out' on the way home and it had not quite go to plan - it was far from written off, but still a sad sight on the morning of 1st Sept. Not so surprising in a performance car though...

Makes me laugh to picture the driver turning off DSC and then turning to his passenger and saying, "I've got this, chief."

Then BOOM!

Same thing said by former England footballer Ian Wright when he turned off the traction control on his Ferrari and smashed it!

You've both missed the important part of the conversation:

"I've got this chief" -> "Hold my beer" -> "What this!"

Or the driver could have been driving with his girlfriends head in his lap and his last words could have been:

"Don't stop" or "Wait for it"
