any idea what the process is like for him to get the car back? Obviously they were smart enough to know what they impounded if it is at a dealer locked up securely ---

> [@Beck](#): > > Probably my favorite video of all time: > > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syWJbD1rf0Y](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syWJbD1rf0Y) that is an awesome vid, i like that you can see the car coming in the mirror. I guess the real question is has there ever been an innocent bystander injured in a players run or gumball crash? Ive seen plenty of cars put in ditches but never a collision involving another car. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Middle of no where going 170 in a car meant to handle it… > > 290 going 120 in a Honda hatch back original top speed 65mph with a tail wind… LOL yep. There are some really fucking empty stretches of road out there. Shit I hit fuel cut in a Hyundai Elantra rental 2 hours west of Minneapolis once. Everything was so straight and flat and empty that I just kept the gas down until the power started to cut at 110. If I can do 110 in a Hyundai in the beginning of the plains, it’s OK for someone in a Bugatti in a desert to do 200+. :shrug: IMO. ---

No way the driver serves jail time. They’ll probably throw some money around and have the car out the next day. I’ve had two cars at (indicated) ~150mph before. Of course this was on a closed track under professional supervision. ---

funny that only a handful of those cars are in the country and one gets impounded. i doubt it will be there for very long. i mean how many of the mischief videos do you see them doing 150+mph? all of them. as for that z06…i need a rag ---
