Truth.

Some of us are lucky enough to get by with small mistakes that should have been huge mistakes. Sometimes it's better to be lucky then good.

Yes, well hopefully these people survive and can live to be old and wise from this! I can't make my usual "hey look another crashed FR-S" crack because this one frankly ain't funny.

Is the lift off oversteer as bad as the MR2?

If this was a mistake/accident then hope they are well. If not then I do not pity those racers.

Do they not realize how many innocent lives they could have killed? Racing in the streets, really?
I might not hold my self and punch the driver if he came out alive. We have already lost too many dear people who were coming home from a day of work and get killed by those racers.

I am 20 and have driven V12's yet I never, EVER exceeded the speed limit and thankfully with 0 accidents till now. Not because I am a good driver, but because there are people on the road too, children, families, and parents who are waiting for their loved ones - I wouldn't want to be responsible for ending a life for a stuiped race moment.

Haha its nowhere near as bad. I was just trying to make the comparison between novice drivers who couldn't handle the MR2's handling characteristics back in the day and novice drivers who can't handle the FR-S's handling characteristics today. It seems that a similar amount of accidents is occuring when looking at both cars. I hope they don't soften up the next gen FR-S because of the amount of accidents.

This is scary, it does seem like they were racing. For whatever reason the FRS driver lost control. I hope they're okay, but why lose your car and potentially your life over some stupid street race.
All I know is we're gonna get a bad rep with the police. Smh!

There really is no stopping the self destructive circle of these drivers and their cars

wbradley · 10-13-2012, 10:33 AM

I hope everybody will be ok in that accident, especially the driver.

The mishap is likely a result of foolish behaviour. If so, what a tough way to learn...

S2kphile · 10-13-2012, 10:34 AM

I'm glad people the people in the car are all right. Everyone is banging on these people but it is to be expected.

I'm a glass full kinda guy. And with all these accidents happening and almost everyone surviving means that this car is SAFE AS FUCK. No need to drive a tank just to feel safe. Let the question of is this car safe be put to rest.

CoRi J · 10-13-2012, 10:37 AM

That's an unpleasant and scary sight to see. We indulge in temptation in these cars and temptation can kick back at times..I just hope everyone makes it out ok, very unfortunate for the driver : /

RWD-boxer · 10-13-2012, 10:38 AM

Dang I'm going to stop driving my frs , the way people are crashing I will have the only one left

robo_robb · 10-13-2012, 10:40 AM

I hope everyone is okay and learned from their mistakes.

dem00n · 10-13-2012, 10:54 AM

Oh is that the sports car everyone keeps crashing?

Yup...

I got that comment last night and i log on to see this.
Sigh.
At least everyone is okay.
