Stupid street racers

There are no limits to stupidity in the land of the stupid.

YEAH, its kinda funny, i see guys with big 4x4's with loud exhaust thinking there s*it is fast... give me a break..

Because Hank and his brother Billy Bob had some time off from hauling cow excrement around?

He needed a V8 up front. The guard rail wouldn't of gone though that. John

Yeah, instead of going through the block and down the middle of the car it might have grazed the block and gone through the driver's seat. :-/

...or pushed the block through the drivers seat. From the looks of the pics, it doesn't look like anything was going to stop it. Erik D. '94 white lightning

How do you know it isn't fast? Not so funny now.

Nah, If it struck anything hard, the rail would have folded up in font of the car, weakened and push to the side. The 4.6L V8 is a wide engine and acts as a nice shield. What usually happens is the motor defects the guard rail up through the windshield. I never seen one through a fire wall. Weak cars... John

Not much protection afforded by those itty bitty 4-cyl engines, huh?

-Rich

What are you guys talking about? Is the engine suppose to protect you???

Are people driving 911s taking a big risk as they have no engine in front of them? I guess the Ford GT will be a death trap.

In some areas the car is suppose to be weak (crumple zones). I don't think we can assume anything like an engine can be a nice shield, though. And the guy did live.

Just like the girlfriend of this Mustang GT owner...

======== "I'm not so sure about that Gary. My girlfriend was in a terrible wreck last year involving a head on collision with a semi and trailer loaded with bricks. She was going around 55mph, and I would assume the truck was going about the same rate. She came out with only a gash on her knee and some bruises. She didn't even have her seatbelt on! Now, guess what she was driving? A 1997 Civic. Not much left of the car, but at least she was ok (for the most part)."

I believe it's just the luck of the draw.
