They just haven’t gotten out of bed yet because the semester is over. 😛 I feel bad for both the driver and passenger. We’ve all gotten away with stupid shit at some point in our lives, they just got fingered by fate. It’s really unfortunate. God bless their families. ---

Some of these Audi pics remind me of this crash… Audi RS6 > **[Holy Crap, He Walked Away With Barely a Scratch: Audi RS6 Crash](https://jalopnik.com/241141/holy-crap-he-walked-away-with-barely-a-scratch-audi-rs6-crash)** > > No, it wasn't a two-car crash. That's a single, formerly pristine ABT-tuned Audi RS6 that was catastrophically bent by one of nature's stoutest. It was likely traveling at about eleventy miles an hour when it left the road.

> [@TrueBlue](#): > > Absolutely. Even a six would have tied the car together better. eh, i thought that at first, but from where it _looks like_ it hit, I dunno if a 6pt would’ve done much. But still, PMP was charging $100 / point… so $800 for an 8 pt & alot of peace of mind. moot point I suppose. ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > Not to be an asshole… but this would be a great ad for all those members who don’t have cages (but run around with 11ty whp)… I bet an 8 pt would’ve help substantially. Maybe, maybe not. A cage takes away the car’s ability to absorb the crash. Great if you end up on your roof sliding down NYI’s track or glance off one of their barriers, not so great when you solidly impact an immovable object. The forces at work in a crash bad enough to split a car in half like that are extreme. If the car holds together the occupants are going from 90ish to 0 almost instantly. Not to mention the substantially increased risk of head injury from the cage if you’re not wearing a helmet. ---
