he said he liked the X and there is nothing that is going to be faster on the turns than the X until he met his fate and drove the GTR.

The car has built in GPS. The factory programmed in GPS coordinates of all the tracks around Japan, so the car knows when it's on the track.

It's not the first time Jeremy has hurt his neck while driving. He's an old man. I can't remember what car he did it in the first time, but he hurt it while powersliding.

Dude, give him a break, the guy is like 50 some and stands 6'5", he ain't Dany D'vitto... I still admire his driving skills, he can still kick a$ when he wants to.
