I experienced first hand this weekend at the Watkins Glen fun one why people love the Wreck Miata nickname.
Watch the orange car on the right and count how many cars he ends up hitting by the end of the video. Unfortunately I'm the black/blue/orange #90 that ends up backwards and broken. I begin the video on the right side, end up in the middle, and by the end of the back straight I'm on the far left.
Good thing everyone had fenders...
