My buddy - who spun his 86 off the road into the desert a few months back - spun his 86 again; beached it this time. Allegedly, there was a dog he was trying to avoid. I'm not one to call bullshit, but I haven't seen many dogs on the 805...
Brother needs a Porsche and performance driving school. Real bad. Hard to tell from the photo, but he was a couple of feet away from a 10 foot drop...a few MPH faster, and his Saturday would have been a lot worse than waiting for AAA to show up and drag him back onto the asphalt.

I would suggest he get a base Camry, some Safety Driving lessons and leave the performance driving to those who can. There are those who have a disconnect between the brain and the right foot.
The car only does what we ask it to do.
The problem is that there is a significant gap between what we are actually asking the car to do and what we think we are asking the car to do.
When traveling at significant speeds and we encounter small furry things, small furry things die. End of discussion.
