GREER, S.C. -- It’s been two years since Marine Lance Cpl. Jeremy Stengel sat behind the wheel, and life is much different now. The 22-year-old Marine suffered massive internal injuries and wounds to both legs when he was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., has been his home ever since.

But this week, the 22-year-old Stengel and about 30 other seriously injured and recuperating Marines hooted, hollered and high-fived as they chased normalcy in an American pastime: racing fast cars. The Marines took turns zipping around BMW’s driving school in South Carolina, using the experience to forget about their devastating injuries for a while.

I think we can all agree this is pretty kick-ass!

Playing car will make any man feel better, its my therapy.

A huge tip of the hat to the driving school. Any idea who it is? (I re-read...still confused. This was BMW corporate putting on the event? If so...more kudos!)

Thank you Legion.

some time back..some Ferrari & Lambo guys (+ dealer in New York) did something like this. Let a blind Vet. drive.
so where's the PCA...having cheese and wine ?
