That's good to hear.

No, I get butthurt over people implying that motorcyclists getting killed in Daytona would be a good thing.

These were parked bikes, I don't think anyone was hurt, but perhaps the FRS driver was. I hope they were not hurt badly.

I would have never posted here except it had some relevant content.

If I saw this posted on a motorcycle website wishing ill will on the FRS driver I would have done the same.

I've expressed this before ...... however, it seems appropriate to say here again.

I think the difference between back-in-the-day (pre internet) and today is that back then, there was less anonymity.

For example, when car guys would gather to talk car stuff, it was usually down at the local corner gas station.

If one person said something off the wall ...... he had best be prepared to support his view. Like, either be prepared to race his car or defend himself, if a gravel scrapping session broke out ......:paddle:

Get ma drift ...... :D

I looked at your posts, you're a nasty little troll. I can promise you'd only say stuff like that with the protection of distance and the anonymity of the internet.

Spoken like an anon tough guy on the internet. LOL at clowns like you who imply violence in response to mere words.

Edit: Ah, your instragram provides clues to your response.

I'm 55, and I have no problem talking to people face to face. It's odd that I'm not the one to imply violence in response to someone speaking their mind, yet I'm the "internet tough guy".

LOL, I guess.

Nobody cares about your internet personalities people!

Back on topic!

Nobody mentions the "curse" anymore! It was never really a thing, but thought that was interesting. Nowadays we just take twin crashes as normal occurrences! :iono:

Well they are normal occurrences. Cars crash all the time. Well more accurately drivers crash their cars all the time since the cars do cause it. I doubt we have more crashes than most other cars and actually are probably at the very low end of the spectrum if we narrow it down to the "sports car" group. There used to be way more crashes reported on the DSM and Evo forums I was on. Can't even imagine the reports on a Mustang forum.

I think the curse was related to boy racers trying to be all initial D because of how Toyota marketed these cars.

Queue Eurobeat.

FIFY I think? ;)

Anyway, that's a very strange orientation for the twin to end up in... Very confused as to how it plowed over a line of bikes forwards and ended up sideways.

Edit: just looked at gunman's post. Picture in link seems like the van and whichever twin collided first?

Physics. It hit something solid enough to transfer weight to another section of car. Get Scienced. Happy 3.14 day mutha fuqqa

The comments in You Tube indicate that the car was going at a high rate of speed and hit the van. Probably then spun out and went off the road hitting the bikes. The damage to the car sort of supports that.
