I was running The Trial again (Vans & Utility, C600, street racing), and was way out ahead of the pack trying to get around the first place player. We were approaching the final couple turns and he had opened up some space between us when he starts monologueing like Vin Diesel in The Fast And The Furious using the in-game phrases about how it's not about how fast your car is...and promptly drove off the side of a bridge. He still got second place, but wow.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love that there isn't voice chat in this game? I love that there isn't voice chat in this game. If there was, we wouldn't have funny little moments like that.
