Your worst nightmare...
He was one of the lucky ones....Always think before taking it at warp speeds. That is why now I only go to the drag strip summertimes and once in a blue. Life is to valuable.

But when you are at that speed can your car, turn, stop, maneuver, or anything else for that matter. NO. I flipped a Rover Supercharged a few years back, doing about 80, cruising, rain had stopped, hit a puddle I didn't see, lost control, hit a highway sign, rolled and walked away. The cops said the car rolled 3-5 times. It looked like a bomb hit it, but the "cabin" made of re-enforced steel, kept me and a passenger safe. Difference between plastic and steel. I'll take a German or EU tank any day. Point, these goofy kids, in their goofy "street racing", wanna be fast and furious rice burners have no knowledge of that.

Be smart, be safe...

True to an extent but even German engineering has its limits. Look at the 120mph M5 runway smash. Hitting a tree while airborne no engineer can account for.

There is some gruesome photography out there. Makes you pause for a moment when you are having a bit of a difficult time believing the image you are looking at was once human.
