This is exactly what happened to this R34 Nissan Skyline, which was on the way to its new owner. According to our friends in Funtasticko, it was being driven by a broker at the time of the crash.

Remember folks, when driving a car that isn't yours, practice extra care and caution. This is even more so with high-powered cars. It sounds like common sense, but apparently it really isn't.

I don't know about you, but I don't wanna destroy a car that doesn't belong to me. Commiserations to the new owner, we hope the broker will do the responsible thing.
