Anyone almost crash their car?
Wondering if anyone had any close encounters when driving their Lamborghini, or if something bad did happen that you can share so I am aware next time I go rent the Huracan. I may also consider renting a Ferrari Italia or McLaren 570s, but not sure if they are 2.5 seconds fast like the Huracan.
I was fortunate and didn't have any close encounters. But with the major blind spots, I can forsee what mistakes I could make. The back window is like a submarine window you can barely see out of since i guess that's the engine bay. Plus I think that Huracan had black slits so made it even harder to see. And being lower meant curbs can be much harder to spot when in shopping centers or busy intersections. When I was out driving, I tend to see people were more gracious to let a Lamborghini go first at a stop sign. But I wonder if there are asshole drivers who will intentionally get in your way if they see you trying to have fun, either out of envy or thinking you're a menace up to no good.
I always see those exotic car crash videos. Some people just look like they're doing something simple like accelerating and then they suddenly lose control and go off to the left/right. Like this one w/ the La Ferrari, it was going normal speed, accelerates, and loses control. Is the driver stupid or is the LaFerrari a very hard car to drive?

I only did the sport mode of the Lamborghini the most. But I never really put it on its most extreme setting I think reserved for track because i didn't want it to spin out and crash.
I once spun my M3 out and could have crashed it into a curb at a left turn traffic light. This was late at night with no other cars around me. I took the driver assist off and it showed that orane car w/ the squiggly lines symbol where it lets the wheels spin out. Bad idea on doing on a turn, my car spun a full 180 and could have hit the curb. Thankfully I didn't and saved a potential disaster that'd be over a couple grand to fix.
But lesson learned is to not take the driver assist off if there is a turn involved.
