New million dollar pile-up

An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup — smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together.

[...]

Traffic police spokesman Mitsuyoshi Isejima called the event "a gathering of narcissists," according to Bloomberg. He said the drivers were aged between 37 and 60 years old.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

New Makes me want to get a Porsche
since it appears to have been unscathed...so it was either winning the race or handles well enough to have avoided the accident.
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
