Did the MX5 suffer from the same driver retardness as this car does?

I think less because it was viewed by a chick car and that most people who bought MX5s were older men and women.

Not saying the FRZ is a bad car, just we will see a lot more of these cases sooner or later.

:( RIP Always sad to see
It sucks to say, but I feel like there would be a lot of these to come..
Canyon carving at night is really dangerous, even on a road you know very well.

Be safe out there!

It's situations like these that lead to dead people.

That isn't safe at all, It's barely visible. Although it might look fun I really think that's stupid and careless. Sometimes I'm not sure if this car will turn into a stereotype with the people driving them, I hope not.

i was having a good 'ole time, drinking some beers after a long day and listening to music...


and then I saw this thread :/


I want to puke right now, thinking about how many times I've pushed my car to what I felt like were the limits, thinking it was somehow safe. I almost NEEDED to see this, as I will think twice before getting her sideways at speeds above 40mph..

RIP to all those who have perished in our beloved '86.. may your memory live on through all of us every time we turn the key and that engine roars

Quick google search turned up his youtube channel. One video, but it shows the BRZ at about 2 min.

Also made me remember this site (http://brzcrash.com/), which suspiciously had a story about this from today as well (which if you read the first page of comments someone points out the story is from June) Unless OP got it from there.

They don't cover occupant compartment with sheets if there isn't a body.

RIP to the driver who couldn't make it... :(

But seriously, some people need to realize there is simply no "reset" or "retry" button in real life. It ain't Grand Turismo or Forza in real life.

Sure looks like the same BRZ sitting in the garage and being modded. Same wheels, blue accents, gold piece near intercooler, black fender garnish. I wonder if it was a customer car or a shop car?

Even before seeing this I cannot help but think about this happening when I see kids saying this car needs more power and preaching the virtues of FI. But this is what happens when the cars abilities exceed the kid's driving abilities. May he rest in peace and I hope that he did not leave a wife or family behind with massive credit card bills for all those mods that ended up killing him.

So sad.

Reminds me of this video i saw when i was looking for perrin intake videos. I didn't want to post this before since i figured it might be someone on this forum, but i guess it would be irresponsible not making them aware of the dangers they are putting others in.

Everything this guy and the guy he quoted said.


If that was me driving, I probably would have pooped.
