To salvage his dignity, he attempted to show off by fish-tailing intentionally, like he saw on a video game. He over corrected and ended up in a swerve oscillation, a spin and a 20 mph smack into the median. Luckily he missed everyone else by inches, which further added up the "cool" points that he would later receive in his own little world. His car would have started, but he felt the urge to wave at those he had just offended, so he had to push it off the road in front of all the stopped traffic. Total instant ricer win.
