I'm not convinced this is Darwinism at work. I think many of us here have "gotten away" with some pretty reckless driving in our past, he didn't.

Sorry--I've never been that reckless. Certainly never w/ a passenger int he car. shrug

Has it been confirmed that the driver was drunk? If it has I'll retract that statement.

I wasn't referring to the driver at hand... The sarcasm font is not working again.

  1. does MMA need pro wrasslin' characters? i say no, which is why i thnk the tapout guys are twats.

  2. i'm into MMA as a spectator, although i'm looking for a brazilian jiu jitsu school within a reasonable distance.

  3. a long time ago, a guy who looks just like me once did 130 mph down the southfield freeway in detroit in a '95 integra GSR with a passenger. about 2am on a Saturday. both were liquored up. no drama, but this road is arrow-straight. later that evening, after dropping off the passenger in the parking lot at work, the right front tire debeaded from the rim as the guy who looks just like me was exiting the parking lot at about 5 mph. the guy who looks just like me never drove like that again. (exiting parking lots at 5 mph, i mean)

Ya but I had a 79 zephyr with a 200 strait 6. 0-75 timed by a calender.

All this proves to me is that just because you have the $$$ to purchase one of these cars does not mean you are qualified to drive one.

I've done chicago to lafayette in around an hour before......with a 5 minute stop at a rest area to watch the red and blues go past our convoy of lowly taurus's.....lol found out the toll road's camera's won't snap you if you're going double the limit through them.

I disagree with the counter darwinism post from before, sure, it is true that if he didn't have kids, then its not so much darwinism, but it still removes him permanently from the gene pool......and the people who have just "gotten away with it" evidently were better than he was.....lol

What kind of light poles do they have in California? It fell and cut a car in half? Sign that pole up for the MMA!

Quoted for truth.

I wasn't able to afford a car that could go that fast. The ones I could afford got real scary way, way before any ridiculus speed. Although now that I'm older and know better, still don't have cars that can go that fast but the one I drive now is probably the fastest car I have ever owned. RX8 by the way. And the guy that looks like a younger version of me was alway concerned with getting caught doing the liquored up driving to actually reach ridiculus speeds to actually do it.

I meant to post this before but is this kind of thing really a "car accident"? There should be another term for this kind of thing. I mean it was not an accident once you look at all the factors that lead up to the crash.
