    A lesson for you all: this is what happens when you're driving too fast

    I found this on the net. It has some horrible pictures with a 18+ scale on it. I will not post those because I'm sure the moderators will not tolerate it. But I do have some pics of what happens when you're young, you have a Porsche and try to overtake a car at 160 km/h whilst approaching a toll gate.

    Warning, the following picture contains blood and may be for 18+ only. Could a moderator please give his judgment!

    She cliped the other car, a bit hard no to go out of control after that...

    145mph. But the speedometer goes to 160 I think, so I feel like I can go faster.

    lol, I'll check the A6's speedo tomorrow. I actually heard the engine properly today, Persuaded Dad to boot it on the way to work, 6,000rpm (red line = 7,500rpm) before gear changes, boy that car makes a nice noise Bet your V8 beats it though...

    Grim images, that was an abrupt stop.
    As to what an 18 year old was doing with a Carrera? Acting 18 and feeling invincible.

    She was either in the car without permission, or her parents gave her what she wanted. Certainly performance driving lessons in such a machine would have been a good idea, but spoiled kids rarely have thoughtful and engaged parents. It's a shame, she was pretty, too.

    now not that I am too curious, but I can only find two images,one showing the girl and the other one a piece of rubble against the toll booth but taken from a great distance. Is there another link?

    There might be, but I'm not gonna look for them. The handful shown are quite enough.

    2 is not exactly a handful, and neither of them are as shocking as announced

    Including the shots from the link there are 5 photos, all of which have a finality and bleakness that say enough.

    There you go. Explains it all.

    The kids and even adults in the OC are so tacky, immature, and trendy (not on the latest trends, but a few years behind ) weirdest people ever. Ew. Basically white trash with money. Can't expect them to be responsible with it.
