Also when people do dumb shit that endangers others...

I had to learn how to drive on slow, underpowered, rwd cars that didn't have abs...and I'm a better driver for it.

He was 18 and it was his car...not much his parents could do about that.

I'm not saying it wasn't stupid though.
My sister knew 2 of the kids, RIP.

Me too, but I drive like im 90 years old. I dont go over 70 on the highway. Im glad I got over the 'I have a car so lets drive like an idiot and cut everyone off'/ speed everywhere' quickly.

I learned to drive on a turbo Supra with 18 psi of boost that didnt have ABS and am a better driver for it

I was too scared to do something stupid in it.

But now I have an underpowered RWD car without ABS

I'm curious as to whether or not the douchebag that was driving it even had it in M mode...if he didnt, then it had "only" 400HP

i understand and fully argee that age had alot to do with this im 16 and will soon be driving a 300+ hp 2.3t stang but i dont like having my ride impounded for a quick thrill plus when i drive i act like i have my sister in the car i also know you may think you know how to drive in a straight line at 100+ mph but its a very different car at high speed and that my dad would plan out beat my ass for street racing or speeding . i'll only race at the drag strip were its safe and limited. and as sad as it is it goes to show you how fun can turn around and rear its ugly side!

RIP

I like that policy too bro ,i wasnt saying he wasnt stupid but still i aint glad the dude removed himself from the gene pool or nothing .I just cant beleave the pasengers where stupid enough to stay in the car .I hate even being in a car where im not driving and am not in control .

Sad story indeed ,and i also think they take this story to school around florida just to teach kids that being stupid and driving dont mix at all .
