Re: 男の子は男の子になります - Boys will be boys
This is the Japanese equivalent (In whatever the Japanese equivalent of Long Island lockjaw is) of...
"Hold my champagne... and watch this!"

Re: 男の子は男の子になります - Boys will be boys
It's never good when the tow guys show up with shovels.
Didn't think it was possible, but this may actually be WORSE than when your neurosurgeon says "oops".

Re: 男の子は男の子になります - Boys will be boys
Ouch. That is painful to watch.
From the BBC:
A luxury sports car outing in Japan has ended in what may be one of the most expensive car crashes in history.
Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi. No-one was seriously hurt, but the road was closed for six hours after the accident. Media reports estimate the damaged cars are worth at least 300m yen ($3.85m; £2.46m) in total.
The sports cars - driven in convoy by a group of automobile enthusiasts - were on their way to Hiroshima, reports Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun. Police say they believe the accident, which took place on Sunday, happened when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the crash barrier.
"A group of cars was doing 140-160km/h (85-100mph)," an unidentified eyewitness told Japanese broadcaster TBS.
"One of them spun and they all ended up in this great mess."
Ten people received minor injuries in the crash, police said. They said some of the vehicles were beyond repair.
"I've never seen such a thing," highway patrol lieutenant Eiichiro Kamitani told AFP news agency. "Ferraris rarely travel in such large numbers."
Plenty of material there.

Re: 男の子は男の子になります - Boys will be boys
We can imagine the first mistake igniting a flurry of Japanese curse words, followed by lifts when cars were in the wrong attitude for the resulting weight transfers = many spins, locked brakes and eyes looking in all the wrong places, bang bang bang....

Just read that the posted speed limit was 80 kph.
