140MPH Evo Wreck (pics)
So here's the Story from what the guy is sayin from the site...
"Story behind this accident.
A guy buys a EVO and goes to a local gas station and revs on a group of people. A friend asks to go for a ride. Guy takes the friend on a 140mph drift and barely makes it. 2 hours later the guy tries it again... this time it was wet outside, looses the car and smashes into a tree going 140mph plus. The passenger was severely injured and the driver last I heard (which was about 3 months ago) was dying on life support.
Guys bottom line...
this is what happens when a moron tries to show off, not only did he seriously injure himself, but also his passenger. Going into Inertia Drifts at 140mph into a tree is never healthy. "

Waste of men and machinery. The Evo has a relatively strong structure, but God has the final say. And with an accident at this speed, He'd probably say something like, "Time to check you out."
Thank God no other people were killed or injured.
Trees + Cars = Death.

There's a difference between losing control of your car when its wet outside, and then doing that at 140 MPH. That didn't even look like a freeway. There is NO WAy I would ever go anywhere near that speed on surface streets, and on the freeway, I'd still have to be crazy. Come on though, why would you purposefully throw your car out of control like that...twice? The things people do....then do again.

P.S. THAT ENGINE IS LOOKIN PRETTY SWEET.....
