oh and we finnally got the full scoop on what the car actually did. it slid down the hill. the front tires dug in. it flipped over once. 15 feet from the slide marks there is a large circle in the grass from the back tire. when it hit the back tire it barrel rolled multiple times and hit the trees upside down. from the tire mark in the grass to the trees is 42 feet. there are tire marks about 6 feet up on the trees. it hit the trees and rolled off the trees. it landed facing the way it came on all four tires.

Ambient - People who modify cars, espically imports, already have a bad reputation as being reckless and irresponsible drivers. He said himself he was "taking his favorite exits ramps" blah blah .... There was no excuse nor reason to do that. It's the street, not the track. What if instead of trees he hit a family sitting in their broken down car on the exit ramp?

I'll give him credit that he manned up to it and admited his mistake, but that still does not excuse it. He is clearly too irresponsible to drive. End of story.

ouch. are you sore?

after I wrecked my old 86 civic I thought I had just gone through the best roller coaster in the world. Didn't feel a thing, but the car sure did. Sorry to hear about it though...

I4Stang, point well taken.

He made a mistake and is learning from it at this point. I just think your first post was a tad harsh.

blah, blah, blah. Families don't camp on the hills of offramps. Do you ever drive over the speed limit? I bet you do, and if so, you are wreckless. The DOT deams that 55mph is the maximum safe speed on the highway. If you break the speed limit, I guess you are too irresponsible to drive as well.
