This same thing was posted here a year ago It wasn't a case of simple speeding. The other car (what's left of it) was a Porsche. They were racing on a public highway. Draw your own conclusions.

no seatbelts, i'm curious though are those photos real?, some of them look a little strange, like they've been cut and pasted, then again it could be the resolution was off, still nasty by any means

the text above the pictures say that they were going 173 mph - I agree that the second car was not a porsche - the second guy's family would not be able to identify him - and they werent wearing seatbelts cause the first guy doesnt have any bruises across his chest or shoulder, though when your passenger cabin is ripped open ond the steering wheel protrudes past the front wheel seat belts dont matter much.

Unhappy

yeah that is some real nasty stuff... its a terrible thing when something that can encompass so much joy and exhilaration can emcompass such destruction and catastrophe.....be careful guys and allways buckle up...it can turn a mess on the asphalt to a few bruises(not at 200mph though)!!!! -take care-chris


-A side note some guy down the street died in the canal early this morning by simply falling out of a boat..it took the police boat 1.5hrs to respond becuase he wa sthe only police man on duty...coast guard got there first brought him to the hospital where he later expired.

-ha, get this my roomate just told me as Im writing this that a kid from my college just got arrested this afternoon fo raping a 14yr old girl...


-hmmmn... silly humans... -chris

As mentioned...this was posted before and I'm sure that the article with it said that the other car was a Porsche. I tried a search here but it was posted before Wayne changed to v-bulletin and I can't find the original post. Who posted this last year? What was the URL?

Thats some sad ****.......... the only lucky thing is that they probably went quick.........the square one looks like an alfa....

IF you follow some of the links on that site...their are some sad pics.................

Take a look at this site.........
http://crazy****.org/Crash/carcrash.html

**** is feces...(I am sure you can figure that out)

Now their is one of a motorcyclist........!!!!!!!!!!!! that is brutal...this guy actually lived.......auggggghhhhhhhh really don't look at it..........

You guys who ride bikes ..........take a look at that pic ...and think twice about taking your rides on the road.........

I had a bike about 10 years ago .......a kawasaki ninja 900......at the time it was about as fast as you could get.........and frankly for a 21 year old punk that I was ....it was too much of a bike......so I sold it a year later........

Its bad enough that we speed on our cars........but riding a bike is like russian roulette....no matter how good of a rider you think you are..............there are worse drivers on the road, driving bigger pieces of metal............

Well, on the topic of road racing/speeding. Just about 1 hr ago, I came back from an accident scene. Here's some background. A kid a school, just got his license about 2 months ago (he's 16). His parents buy him a brand new m3. I mean brand spankin new black m3. He's at his friends birthday party, and his friend's dream car is his m3. So he decides to take him and two others for a joyride in his car. There's this long straightaway about a mile from my house where he managed to take the thing up to 150mph (thats the rumor so far). However, at the end of the straight, there's this long curve. He comes too fast around the curve and hits a white pickup, causing the pickup to flip several times. the pickup driver was rushed to a hospital (i think in ok condition, but still messed up) while the m3 guys are ok (frontal collision so car protected them). Yups, I saw the scene, and the amount of twisted metal was amazing. I hope he gets his ass sued.
