Seriously? ... comon ... I really have to say this car is a little too safe for the driver. ... At least a lesson learned and no one else was injured. Please, I hope no one else does the same thing again.

Correction, he was injured.

Broken back=pretty bad :P

Unless your saying no one ELSE was injured. He was hit by two other cars I believe, so I'm sure someone else in one of those cars got ATLEAST shaken.

Joliet is going to have a rough life :P

Yea, I meant besides him. Though I do feel bad and can't say I find it amusing that a human being is injured.

Bald tire aren't so bad, it's bald tires in the rain w/o DSC :icon_no2:

This is why our insurance is expensive :(

i dont think you could f up an rx8 worse than that without blowing it up.

Wet road + DSC Off + bald tires + redline shifting and showing off = broken 8 + broken driver.

I hate to take pleasure in someone else's misery, but this guy seemed like a real dick who got exactly what he was asking for. Stupidity is excusable because it's a disease without a cure, but according to this guy's profile, he's the kind of guy to cut you off and then jump out and want to fight if you get upset about him almost causing an accident. Guess he won't be picking fights anymore. Karma, bitches.

Street racing kills. Even when you're just racing yourself.

He's lucky to be alive, and I'm willing to bet will drive slower in the future.

If he ever drives again.

no schadenfreude here.

seems like he mistakenly thought that pressing on the gas pedal really hard, = hard sex.

but glad he came out alive.

risky business
