You can see him run thru water that has drained off the hillside just prior to entering the corner.

In a single car crash it is almost a certainty that:
- hit the front = understeer / push
- hit the rear = oversteer / loose.

The guardrail may have saved their pitiful lives.

Well I visited Turnbull Canyon Rd yesterday night, and I have to say that road is damn scary. The road is alot narrower and the turns are alot tighter than the video suggests. If any mistake was made it would be easy to hit the guard rail, mountain, or incoming car. Now I know how retarded those kids were if they were driving even remotely fast on that road. I drove very conservatively (< 25 mph) and by the time I got to the other side I was naseous.

In case anyone is curious, Turnbull is here:

Where all the kids there going like crazy, and think they're really good or something, but the fact is that they dont know crap (Im saying some ! not all ! So DONT HIT ME !!! .. AHHH ! )

Oh well. Oh This is the dude who posted the video (I think)

that was so gay... the stupid music... and the guy actually does sound gay... and did you hear his friend's advice?

"dude, when you dad shows up, act like you're going to cry... cuz that's what I did when I wrecked his car..."

this is what happens when you buy your irresponsible kid a car that looks remotely sporty! this is why you buy them a buick or some other beat up piece of crap

just speaking from experience... from my days in college station TX, there were lots of foreign people around, and (JUST going from MY experience on the road with asian people in that town, not a single one of them knew how to drive worth a damn.

Didn't mean to offend you or anything, just going by what I have experienced first hand. Not a racist... just going by what I see normally... the same as if i were to say in my hometown there are a lot of stupid young white hillbilly kids that are scholastically retarded...

I did notice the sticker, but i can't believe that someone didn't make it say this instead If i were his friend i would have taken those other words off right there on the side of the road.

Dude, that was a dumb video. Thank goodness for Fast forward. I visted that xanga site, that fool is freaking born in 1989! 3 years younger than me, he's freaking 16! Why the hell is a 16 year old driving like that?! Too much initial D for his *** and thank goodness he wasn't hurt, but that guy better learn his lesson. As for the whole Asian comment, i'm asian (filipino/chinese) and some asians are bad drivers! Especially those old asian woman that are leaning forward with both hands on the wheel with their wierd sun visor cap thingys on and long sweaters in the middle of summer fashion going on. Well, those guys are filipino to be more exact and they're just stupid like a lot of other fobby filpino people. I know a lot of them, and these people better learn their lesson because they got lucky not to hit that guardrail hard enough.

I know excatly what you guys trying to say ...

Yeah, speaking of personal experience. Sorry but I have to admit that, there's ALOT of bad asian drivers on the road ... especially those with Civils with extremely ricey exhaust and think they're fast ... sometimes its not really worth my time to even try to beat them.

I can take any of them out with very little effort but the thing is that, u know their driving skills sucks and its not really worth it if u go fast on them, they wet their pants and "accidently" hit you from behind. Its just not worth it.

Im not dissing Civics .... there're some thats really good out there, but I will say it only accounts for I think maybe less than 5% of the "Civic" catergory .....

and I like what MSRX8 V2 said ... old asian woman leaning forward w/ both hands ... LOL I see them all the time in NYC. and when I see them, I will always do one of the following

1. Slow down till I think Im "safe"
2. Go as fast as I can, till I cant see them in my mirrors
3. Find the nearest exit and GET THE HELL OUTA HERE ! .even it might led me to another state.
