That's why I like my BMW 2002! You can't try to get in a crash with that and if you do, by the time you brake you will be in collision with anything faster than 20 mph!
Very sad to see these lives lost and countless family members altered for life. Just like that. Very sad.

Suxors... well, rush hour traffic will move that much faster at least.
I agree on pole rigidity observations. Why don't we build bridges that strong?

It's not the 500hp that kills. I have 2 buddies killed in same fashion along with 2 other people in a Lancer few years back. And they just passengers.

Fuck, if I had 500+ hp at my disposal in HS I would be dead, probably.
I had a slow as shit e30 in HS and I managed to flip that shit lol

Heck, the car I use mainly for grocery runs twice a week has 300hp.
Just goes to show how far we've gone in the hp game.

Or is that the equivalent to the name "Bob/Billy/William" in Western societies?Last edited by Stanley Rockafella; 05-23-2019, 09:27 AM.

Same here - had '67 Nova with a straight 6 and three-on-the-tree when I turned 16. Promptly went out one night with a co worker, and wrecked it. Luckily, it wasn't capable of any real speed, and it mainly just consisted of me burying the front end into a dirt embankment. Rebuilt the front suspension and she was good as new.

I feel like there was a similar story when the E39 M5 was brand new too.

Must have been a huge hit for the car to look like that. Have to feel sorry for the clean up crew:/
