    I wasn't the best teen driver. I hit a few stationary objects. I even jumped a curb and went on somebody's lawn after overcooking a turn.

    I never did anything like this:

    Damn. I am going to have a hard time sleeping at night knowing that forum exists.

    Don't get way you guys are railing against. Person runs a stop sign, hits him in the side, and he's not happy about it. That makes him and the forum weird? Or the accident so incredible?

    Can someone just write an automatic reply-bot to every crash thread with:

    • Glad you are OK. Cars can be replaced.
    • I hope the [at fault] gets [ jail | beaten up | AIDS ]
    • Was the [at fault] drunk? [long unrelated diatribe about erosion of general populace's driving skills].

    In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

    They could, but then my epicaricacy would not be sated. I must view the crash photos.

    Also, there could be some car crashes in which I'd prefer everyone to be crushed and mutilated.

    well... I saw nothing wrong with the way most of those people were acting. If anything, the majority were pretty civil. They were sorry the car was dead and glad everyone got out of the wreckage in good health.

    Pretty brutal photos of what happens to an R8 when broadsided by a rampickup. It survived better than I thought it would.

    I just find it a weird forum as they majority of the people there seem to be into cars and stuff there due to the "status" it seems to give them.

    This might belong with the whole "poser/playa" thing

    I weep for the R8.

    Yeah... that thread didn't seem much different than when one of the regulars here gets into an accident where they weren't at fault. The OP was pretty civil about the whole thing.
