It is one thing to spin once, but he just keeps at it. Maybe there was a rat under the accelerator and he was trying to kill it?

If I ever stole a car I wouldn't draw attention to myself by driving like that.

The guy filming in the Hummer should have kept his distance once he saw that a sports car was hopping the median due to driver retardation. You can see the car to his right back off but he wants to get good video and doesn't slow down.
Following that close behind with the median to his left and a moron acting a moving chicane leaves him exposed. Not to mention his rolling house has the maneuverability of a shark in a hot tub. Typical SUV driver obliviousness to his car's limitations.

I was behind Firebird a few years ago when something like that happened. The car ended up backwards up against a fence made of railroad ties. I stopped and ran over to check on the driver and it turns out he had been having a stroke. He had no idea what was happening because he wasn't in control of the car or his body. So, don't be too hard on the poor guy who just ruined his Cayman. He may be wondering what the hell just happened, too.

It's actually a very interesting video. Obvious the driver is new to both the car and RWD.

Hard to tell why he/she blasted off at the green light; maybe the Hummer was riding his ass and the takeoff was supposed to be an automotive middle finger.

With the wet pavement, clearly a poor decision. But it seems that the car actually does okay coming off the stop, and he doesn't lose control until what seems to be the shift from first to second in what seems to be pavement not as slick.

Anyway, control is gone, he crosses the median and accelerates back to the proper side, then doubles down as he gets back into wet pavement.

It's like a rapid thought progression: "Watch this speed, Hummer douchebag! Crap, losing control. Can't let others think I don't know what I'm doing. I'll slam back on course. Oops, too far. Gotta show I can handle this. Whew... Crap! Wheels are spinning again. I need to get away to avoid embarrassment. Crap, I'm spinning out again! Mother puss bucket! There goes a fricking wheel!!!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!! I'm in TRAFFIC! Get to the shoulder, you fargin' idiot! F**K F**K F**K F**K F**K F**K!!!!!!!! Sigh."

I think the hummer was with the Porsche. He follows to the other side after wheel comes off.
