Mercedes CLK 350 vs. Nissan 350z (TOTALLED!!!!)

Alright well I was on my way back home from a visit to LA... And basically i just get onto the freeway and i see a 350z with a custom paint job and a body kit so obviously being as young as i am i get quite excited ... I *zoom* past him and then wait to see if he takes the bait... He starts catching up so obviously im getting ready with my not so great tip-tronic ... I time it right so that i can either keep up or beat him... Then were driving in between cars and then i get into the lead... Next thing you know hes behind me and then i see a car not too far away signaling into my lane... I then press on the brakes just a little bit to slow down... I'm guessing this guy thought i was *****ing out so he goes on the right of me to try and pass me... Were going about 90ish or so because we were going into a gradual left turn... Nothing to sharp obviously because its a freeway... But wow... This guy either didn't know what he was doing or he just had some crap tires... But he litterally starts to drift... My first thought... Wow this guy is freaking sick!... Next thing i know im looking at him about a car away right in front of me... But as i was watching him he had like such a serious look it was kind of funny... But yeah i saw that guy eat it on the wall... For sure that car was totaled...

-Ummm yeah... That's IF i was driving... (Just in case )

So you were street racing and the other person gets in a serious accident and you think posting it on a public forum is a smart thing to do? Sure hope that other dude isn't dead.

Nope, but is sure seems like it.

Either way the OP is an idiot, jackass, or a combination of the two.

if you don't got your flame suit on, now would be a good time to pull it out of the closet.

I'd edit that post and say that you were minding your own biznez when an idiot lost it in front of you...

Do you think it's a good idea to post details of a street racing accident on a public forum?

Leave brian alone, driving 90'ish on a highway is not street racing when your just playing around with another car, I hit 90 all the time on the freeway, and yes I occasionally play around with other cars as safely as possible. He was caught up in the moment and the other guy got into an "ACCIDENT." Big deal, Ive had like 5 minor accidents in my life, it happens. Its not like Brian was hoping the guy died or something, he even said he hopes he is not dead. How many of you guys have seen some ******* driving like an idiot and hoping they eat it(hoping their car is screwed up, not them), I sure have, I guess I am evil.

I don't think you get it...

We're not commenting on his driving or his speed, we're commenting on his lack of tact by posting the story here.

I'm not chastising the kid for his actions, but to admit to inciting a race that may possibly have ended badly (injuries,death) is simply OJ-level idiocy.

Driving like a maniac in traffic cutting other cars off. Is just plain stupid. When I was on the highway where cars were everywhere I see a Lambo and Vette cutting in and out of traffic in front of me!

Brian, delete the post. Since the Z was modded, theres a good chance the guy is a member to some forum or at least he is on the internet a lot. Word travels quickly, and there is a good chance this guy will catch this post and he could very easily use it against you.

That's why I don't post half my stories lol...

So delete it man, if you know whats good for you. Better be safe than sorry.

Stuff like this happens ALL the time. Unless theres a death or a serious serious injury or theres drama involved, like street racing was reported or drunk driving, then there won't be a news article.

If they are street racing through traffic and someone piles it into a wall, nothing gets mentioned anywhere?
