Wonderful appropriation of terrible Dave Matthews song. Because those sideways hat guys tell their stupid girlfriends that they like "Dave" before they rape them. Then they play video games.
But...crashing is what Burnout is about. That's the point.
I could be off base here, but bashing cars out of your way and chaining together crashes was half the fun of Revenge. Criticizing a Burnout game for it's crashes is like criticizing a Half-Life game for having physics puzzles.
There is also no easy way to restart a race that your crashed 2 feet from the end on other than driving all the way across the map back to the starting line
