A very aggressive racecar-/streetrace-driver who would rather "Double Crash" the opponent than lose against him. Has it's origin in the manga and anime "Initial D" where the driver of a "Honda Civic" named "Shingo" challenges the main character "Takumi"to a race in the mountains and right as he's about to lose he decides to drive into Takumi making them both crash but just as he's about to, "Takumi" turns for the next corner and "Shingo" misses his target only crashing himself.
*Car crashes into other car on purpose*
