Dutch driver drowns Nissan GT-R

Remember the scene in "The Empire Strikes Back" where Yoda raises Luke Skywalker's X-Wing from the swamp? This Nissan GT-R owner staged a real-life reenactment in the Netherlands, after a misunderstanding with The Force.

While the GT-R has as much control technology as any sports car on the planet, there's only so much bad driving it can correct. Dutch reports say the driver simply missed a curve near the Assen car festival before bumping a bridge and plunging into the ditch. Somewhere in the Netherlands, there's a broker toying with the phrase we English speakers know as "mechanics' special."

Hat tip to Michel!
