I don't think he could go fast enough in a yugo to lose control. Nor would he even have the balls to race.

Crazy... that M3 was destroyed.
An old girlfriend of mine live right off La Paz; I've hauled *** through that stretch of road on more than one occasion.
I wonder if the M3 really lost control on his own or if the Merc bumped him.
That aside, I'll agree with the 'anti-agism' sentiment expressed by others; a$$holes, bad drivers and people with bad judgment can be found in any age/demographic group.

while I kind of agree the comments about the anti-agism, but some facts don't lie, if not, why are insurance company charging way more for younger people than for older people, they must know something about this don't they?

ricers race civics, cavaliers, etc. i think kids driving those types of cars probably "mess around" even more.

they charge more for younger drivers on all cars...not just on nicer cars. again, i'm not saying it's not true to some extent, i just think it's a ridiculous generalization.

IMO it is the drivers fault and the make and model of the car is not to blame. It was the drivers fault for being reckless and street racing. BTW I have been driving high performance cars since my early 20's, and I think the person should be blamed for poor driving and not the car.
