        After reading his story, I'd love to destroy the mother fucker who made him veer off. What a piece of shit.

          Wow, what a shame. Bummer.

          But... if you're passing someone at such a high rate of speed that you can't slow down to avoid rear-ending them, you're driving like an idiot IMO.

              Nah not the driver's fault--it's impossible to control the torque that those V8 E30s put out.

                The motor and chassis, suspension, ect can be salvaged, it's just a bunch of work, interior on the other hand will likely be done for. The cars I fixed from our floods here in Nashville last May have done well, freshwater isn't too bad if you take your time and dry it out all out, saltwater submersion like the cars I saw post Katrina can just be written off as paperweights for the most part.

                      huh? it's safer to hang out in the on-coming traffic lane and pass as slowly as possible? I want to bitch slap people who make passes like that.

                        No shit. If I pass someone that's going 56 in a 55, I will go as fast as my little M42 will let me so I don't have to be in the oncoming lane any longer than necessary.

                              No, certainly it isn't safe to 'hang out' or pass 'as slowly as possible'. I would have to assume though that if one were passing so fast that one couldn't slow down, that would mean something like 30mph faster than the car you're passing. Which seems like a poor way to be driving.
