We all tend to get a bit overzealous at times - we'll call it part of human nature - and as many times as not, our tendencies to show off manifest themselves most when we're behind the wheel of a hot new sports car. Like, say the brand new [URL="http://autoblog.com/tag/gt 86"]Toyota GT 86[/URL], also known as the [URL="http://autoblog.com/scion/fr-s"]2013 Scion FR-S[/URL] here in the States, or, in [URL="http://autoblog.com/subaru"]Subaru[/URL] form, the [URL="http://autoblog.com/subaru/brz"]BRZ[/URL].

Such is the case with the unlucky fellow you'll see in the video embedded below. During what appears to be a drive event for Toyota's new coupe, taking place on a wet track in what we believe is Japan, one driver exceeded his talent level in a bright red GT 86, sending it careening into a makeshift wall.

The good news is that it was a low-speed mishap, which means nobody was injured and the car will need little more than a decent buffing. Or maybe a new fascia... either way, no big deal.
