take her out street racing and stuff it into a tree

3000gt and a Mustang were "speeding" on hwy 35, the 3000 crossed the double yellow went onto left shoulder over corrected to the right crossed both lanes went onto right shoulder overcorrected left and spun hitting the tree going backwards. "Date" impacted "B" pillar hard and was taken to a trauma center. 300' of skid marks

of course in retrospect if they had not hit the tree they would have gone flipping down the mountainside

It's hard to feel bad for dumb people.

It's not that hard - I feel bad for the tree.

 

[LordOpie]

Fvck the tree. If that sap hadn't interfered, then Darwin could've worked his magic. That tree needs to leaf.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

So, think you'll get a second date with her?

 

[stinkyboy]

Yea, what's customary in these situations? Flowers and a Get Well Soon card at the trama center?

 

[LordOpie]

So, think you'll get a second date with her?

Seeing as how she's disfigured, I'm betting that's an easy yes.

I have always dug the 3000gt. It was teh sh1t back in the 90s, right up there with the Nissan twin turbo Z.

 

[sanjuro]

About the woman: would you hit that?

Whoops bad word choice.

 

[LordOpie]

About the woman: would you hit that?

You're barking up the wrong tree.

 

[BigMike]

you guys are a bunch of insensitive pricks. Sure, they were street racing, but someone still got hurt. What if it was your friend? or your daughter? would you still be singing the same tune?

What if you fell off your bike, tumbled down a mountain, and ended up in a trauma center? Riding your bike on mountains is pretty stupid, but yet, we all do it. Do we deserve it as well?

Come on. When I am riding my bike down the mountain pretty much the only injury I am risking is to myself. If I get hurt, yes, chances are good I deserve it. Asshats who race on public roads risk the lives of everyone around them - especially pedestrians, cyclists, and everyone else not in a cage. So yes, they deserve what they get. It sucks if the passenger didn't want to be racing, but we don't know if she encouraged it or not.

Hey, my friend died last year in the passenger seat of a WRX hauling around at 2am.

It was very sad, and I would not appreciate it if someone made fun of it.

But these people lived, and they get to enjoy the comments their friends and family will make.

My friend does not have that opportunity.

I wonder if she would be more pissed getting an angry pirate?

That was the VR4 so it was a twin turbo also. I always like those as well. It doesn't look so good wrapped around a tree though.

300FT. How can there be skidmarks? doesnt every car now have anti lock brakes?

Anti-lock brakes don't make a difference if you are going sideways ! Judging from the Rim minus the tire I'd have to say they were doing some of that

also Anti-lock brackes can be fooled into locking.

 

[Da Peach]

Does it make a difference to ABS brakes whether you're going forward or backward?

Driving like an ass on a date is rarely a good thing, but maybe I've just dated the "wrong" chicks.

 

[eric strt6]

they started going sideways in the dirt on the right hand shoulder and slid sideways down the road until the front end caught the dirt on the left shoulder and spun the rear end into the tree....they had some speed going when they lost control

abs doesn't make a difference going sideways but side curtain airbags do when you hit something

Thanks for ruining it... thought I woke up and it was suddenly friday.

They are so heavy though and tiny turbos.

Don't be hard on Mike, it's the jew in us that makes us think that way.

Didn't those cars put out 320hp stock?

my detective-esque skills say the ancient art of road-head played a major role in this accident.

 

[brungeman]

Yo Eric,

can we get an update of what the kid looks like after the girls father gets a hold of him...?

my guess is his face will look a little like that rear quarter on the 3000!

I'd guess that her father will be dining in hell.

Please indulge a n00b with your e-auto knowledge. How?

 

[stoney]

If the driver is street racing, it's not hard to get them to back down as a passenger. It they don't when asked politely, just call the cops. Sure fire way to get them ot slow down.
If the passenger doesn't want the driver to drive that way it's not hard to correct the situation, or get out.
Yeah she wasn't driving but I have no pity.

Simple... pump the brakes.

When anti-locks came out, all the old-timers who pumped their brakes in wet conditions did that and fvcked up the anti-lock's system.

Most folks have no idea what is going on when ABS activates for the first time. My wife pulled over to the side of the road thinking the brakes had gone south on her.

Wow. What is wrong with you?

As a roadie in Orange County, there are a few groups of people that I constantly have to be on the lookout for.

The textbook DWA, as referenced above.
Soccer moms. They're more interested in the safety of their kids than of everyone else.
Coke-addicted businessmen. "I am important. You are nothing."
Jailbait. 16yo girls are notoriously bad drivers.
8 mile. White rappers who drive like fvckin' idiots.
Seizure World. Nuff said.

That's a lot less than the 97% of the world that's Asian.
