Wow! This is amazing video. Such a waste of a good 3rd gen.

I saw that. That was UGLY.

its amazing the he survived at all

Terrible accident.

Howdy,

Unless he had a heart attack, I'm going with "Terribly large _as$hole_".

Mark

I venture a guess he didn't spill his beer.

WOW!! That car was truly flying.

The latter....

The police said he was passing cars well over 90mph. If you can see the video clearly enough, the car rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in the air - putting the passenger side into the bridge. That's the only thing that saved his stupid a$$.

My friend submitted it for the Darwin Awards! Good candidate!

A news report ...

yes, its quite obvious the same accident would have occurred regardless of speed....

May the bird RIP. This is a good example of why we need to keep the speed on the track. What the hell was he thinking?

I wonder if he sounded the dixie horn before takeoff?

Yeah...the second one. I'm thinking he was passing on the shoulder at a high rate of speed and lost traction with all the debris on the shoulder. It was kinda cool the way it launched right off the guard rail. Its like he was trying for a jump shot and failed.

Should of called the Hoff

There's been some speculation that it was an attempted suicide and I'm starting to agree. He was arrested with drugs, alcohol and a minor female and released shortly before the accident. I believe I also read that his father came to get him and was arrested for having drugs in his posession. "Dad's gonna kill me when he gets home"... Maybe he was trying to save him the trouble. I am starting to have trouble seeing this as just an accident.

Yeah, where are they digging up 'reporters' these days? In a report on the recent belly-flop of the 737 on San Andres, the last comment out of the talking head's mouth was "Alcohol was not involved in this accident." WTF?

Howdy,




Still a huge asshole. Kill yourself if you want, but don't endanger 20 other people doing it.

Mark

If only he had subframe connectors...



(I'm sure on some F-body board people are thinking that)

...."alert and conscious after".....

Guess we have differing opinions of "alert"....

I wasn't defending his actions. But it seems possible that there was no accident involved and he didn't care who else he took with him. That's all I was saying.

Thankyou for that one. I am now cleaning some Pinotage Cabernet Sauvignon off my laptop screen.

So let me get this straight ... you are in Germany, arguably home to some of the best beer in the world and you are drinking wine? African wine?

I was just sayin' to Kevin the other day ... "I haven't banned any one in a long time and my mouse finger is getting itchy."

My apologies . We just finished our case of dark biere . Just put my order in and the bierwagen will be hrre tomorrow to drop 24 more of these off.
This bier is sehr sehr lecker. Comes in convenient .5liter bottle with twistoff cap.

Damn ... still no ban ...

Yup, we just had this discussion about a week ago.








A swing and a miss....

Better luck with the next one Mitch!
