http://www.news1130.com/more.jsp?content=20091006_201745_9228 Proof that mating an automatic transmission with a ridiculously powerful engine so that anyone who thinks they know how to drive can drive one is one big FAIL for Nissan, I called this right from the beginning when I found out that Nissan was going Dual Clutch DSG for the GT-R. Luckily no one was hurt. Maybe the driver was protesting that the particular Vancity did not have drive-thru ATMs.

No stick shift elitist attitude detected!  Too bad about the GT-R heading into the ATMs. |

Yah, Britney Spears crashed a Ferrari downshifting to 2nd gear in a Ferrari @ 125mph, so I guess the stick shift crowd has it share of morons too. lol.
I may act like a stick shift elitist but can you blame me, it's a dying transmission and the few of us who still want to drive manual say a decade from now has to do something to keep it alive.

GT-R needs some cash, can't blame the owner really, the car is urging to get cash for some gas to feed itself  I'm surprised it didn't transform  |

Ya we started the chat in the random thread! I saw this on the Global news at 5pm from the helicopter and their zoom wasn't quite there and I guessed it was a GT-R. Tony got some more pics in that thread too.

This proves GT-R can do some urban rally with low stance too. I'm curious why he didn't run staight into the ATM. They look perfectly intact to me.

Agreed. However, one should consider him/herself extremely lucky that no one got hurt, especially when the car crashed into a bank during busy hour! |
