Sunday Drivers!

A weekend outing by Japanese sportscar entusiasts ended abruptly this Sunday, when one of the Ferraris accidentally clipped the center barrier of the Chugoku Expressway and started a series of collisions that ended up writing-off eight Ferraris, three Mercedes, a Lamborghini and a Toyota Prius.

Although 14 cars were actually involved in the accident, there were no serious injuries (those to pride and wallets don't count). The cost of the damage is estimated to be in the region of $1 million (AutoGuide.com)

Way to re-enforce the Asian driver stereotype.

Well, it wasn't a total loss, they did manage to get one Prius off the road.
