| that was an "Enzo", they only make those every ten years to invited guests to purchase... Just the parts alone scattered are worth more than my new Harley ten fold! The owner said that another man was driving the car and then ran off after the crash? He was suppose to buy the car and the owner also stated that he didn't know the man's last name? LoL! yea right... Some peoples kids huh..LoL!!! | |

| That don't look like Houston, but I heard about one that crashed in Houston the other day, was on TV, was a Ferrari, but that's all I got out of it. Whadda waste of metallic art, eh? But, heck, if the guy survived it, I'm sure he (or his parents) could afford it. If you gotta ask the price on one of those things, you can't afford it.

| CD,
On the same website did you see the 175 MPH bike crash?  http://ehowa.com/features/175mphbikecrash.shtml
Not enough left of the biker left to put into a laundry basket! While the pictures are very gruesome maybe if something like this was shown to the younger sport bike riders they would think twice before going WFO on city or country streets. | |

| Killer,
I don't mind, and in some cases it may help. Just make sure that you caution the your viewers about the graphic nature of the pictures before showing them. | |

| Barry Sheene, 1976 and 1977 world 500cc road race champion, survived a couple of 175 mph get offs. Of course, I'm not too sure there was a bone left in his body at the end of his career that didn't have a metal pin in it.  He succumbed, I believe, to lung cancer in his fifties. He was a chain smoker. If the bike don't get ya..... | |

Any of us old geezers remember the driving class movies. "Last (Lost?) Prom etc? | |

Most were short and showed scene after scene of gore. I remember one where a woman was between a car and a big tree and the only thing not mushed was her head. Straight out of ghoulsville man, ya dig? | |

Yeah that was some gory scene. but then do ya really think it would do any good to show it to youngsters? When your YD&FofC you really believe your bulletproof. After I rolled and flipped my Nomad wagon (God I STILL love that cage) when I was 16 I had to watch Death on the Highways every Saturday for a month. Us guys made wise cracks to show we were tough and it didn't affect us...and figured out ways to gross the girls out. Catsup and a peeled grape look pretty awful in dim lights.......I truly think you have to live a little before life and death mean much......Ride Free | |
