So a dude rented a Lamborghini from a Dallas-based company called Exotic Skittles — yes, that’s seriously the name — and he drove it like …
A) a cautious guy who was behind the wheel of a car that could turn into a turbo-charged meteorite with a tap of the gas;

C) a guy who clearly has never driven such a powerful car and had no goddamn idea as to how it would careen out of control and into a median when he put the pedal to the medal.

If you read the headline, you chose “C.” After smashing into the wall the Lambo turned into a terrific streak of fire. Great for the closed circuit TV cameras; bad for all of the expensive parts and paint on the car. Knowing what this man was like as a driver do you think he …
