My personal favorite was of the BMW M Coupe, which took on an 18
wheeler.  Guess who won?

Apparently, the coupe got stuck behind an 18 wheeler, gave up on
trying to get the guy to move, and instead opted for passing on the
right.  On the shoulder.

Well, the truck driver either didn't see him, or didn't take too
kindly to the move, and decided to teach a lesson to the coupe
driver(namely that you do NOT piss off something that has wheels
taller than your car).

The coupe got introduced to the truck's front-wheel lugnuts, and the
post-incident photos show something that looked like a t-rex attacked
it:

Talk about getting what was coming to you.  What REALLY pissed me off
was they passed the whole thing off as a NYPD/NYFD "fund raiser",
probably done solely to try and get people out of tickets.  What's
even more disgusting is that the cops, for the most part, seemed to
go for it, letting a number of people off with slaps on the wrists.
