Wow, that car looks like it was nice before the accident. I wonder how fast they were going. He had owned it for 3.5 hours!?

These cars are known to take good care of passengers in accidents.

You can say that again. Here's how mine held up to a big a$$ tree branch falling on me while I was in it with my gf:

Good to see they all survived in that accident. We did too!

As long as ths occupants are OK, then let the vultures descend. It's a bit overwhelming how much torque you can achieve at 5500 rpm. a lot of unexperienced drivers cant hande it. Then it it's too late- Outta hand.

WE KNOW how these cars can break loose - but unexperienced drivers dont- this is the point.

A little reverence is in order for someone who is un-experienced.

WE have experience behind the wheel in unusual situations- others dont.

Be nice.
