997 Cab Crash....
Apparently she took her fathers brand new 997 Cab on Halloween afternoon without permission plus she was drunk..there are more photos- they just aren't right to post. Let's just say that death from head trama would be an understatement

LAKE FOREST,CA
Nicole Catsouras, 18, of Ladera Ranch has been identified as the woman killed Tuesday afternoon after her black Porsche 911 Carrera clipped a Honda.
She was trying to pass on the right at more than 100 mph on the Foothill (241) Toll Road, the California Highway Patrol said.
Catsouras was driving her father's vehicle south near Alton Parkway when she suddenly switched lanes and lost control of the Porsche. She then cut across the center median, careened across traffic lanes and crashed into an unmanned tollbooth, CHP officials said.
The driver of the Honda Civic, Justin Thompson, 20, of Rancho Santa Margarita, was treated for minor injuries.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Unbelievable.. Was she wearing a seat belt? Was she ejected? Look at the engine, the impact snapped the tiptronic bell-housing. Very sad..

Also, out of respect for the family, the MODS over at 6speedonline removed the links and closed the thread.
Maybe the Mercedes forum should follow suit.

I agree with Canysmc, we should have this thread and links closed. For all we know, her father is a rennilster...
I deal with this type of stuff all the time, I come here to get away from it..

Reality check. Yes, its graphic and uncomfortable. But lets be honest, hiding the pictures doesn't do anything but show how hypicritical some forums are. They are business that sell and advertise the glamorous side of speed. 99% of us has seen at least a 100 mph in our cars. Loose it, due to alcohol or driver error and this can happen. I've sent my kids to advance drivers ed, on a track so they don't have to experiment on the street. BTW, I travel that toll road every day and there isn't a day that I don't see someone going over 100 mph. Youthful drivers and alcohol don't mix. I remember being shown similar photos in drivers ed when I was in high school. I guess they don't do that anymore, becasue there no drivers ed.
