Man, some people don't seem to have any brains at all. 
P.S. Let me guess your age: below 21? Am I correct?
Oh, I'm sure the Honda supercar in your signature isn't immune to crashes either. If someone crashes it, would you then call it a piece of crap? THINK, man, THINK! God had given you a set of brains to THINK.

that car really grew on me from an appearance standpoint.
Latest issue of Automobile compared it to the new benz gullwing...they gave the nod to the benz but it all sounded too familiar...they kept saying things like "you have to rev it so high to get any power out of it"...like a 9,000 rpm V10 is a bad thing!!!
I did agree with them though that a car like that should have a killer DCT and it just doesn't. In fact, it sounded like the tranny is far inferior to the one my my F...at least mine is excellent in everyday auto mode.
No question I'd rock the LF-A though if I had the means...there were lots of conversations about this being "exotic" or not, but seriously...it is. This thread is here because it is. Everyone on this board would try to take pics if they saw one in person.

so?
If Honda test driver Motoharu Kurosawa aka Gan San understeered an S2000 to wrong side of the road, crashed and and died during testing I'd say the car had a problem.
If you crashed and died in your S2000 I say oh well, there goes another forum idiot.

"So" it's not comparing apples to apples.

It doesn't matter who the driver is EVERY driver makes mistakes. It seems crazy to me that you think that some engineering flaw is more likely than driver error.

Yep, and Michael Jordan never misses a shot.

I did not know there was a perfect driver in this world. Even the greatest drivers to have ever lived have crashed numerous times. Professional drivers with decades of experience still crash their cars.Whatever point is being attempted to make is moot. Either the car has flaws or the guy f@cked up. We do not know for sure so making ignorant conclusions and then arguing about them shows just how stupid some people are.
