"The car turned clockwise, made it on to the median and continued sideways until it stuck a tree, which split the car in half, the report stated.
The front half of the car continued to slide on the median until it struck a second tree, which threw Portela from his car, according to the report. That part of the car then caught fire. "
Crazy, sounds like something out of a movie.

There are mistakes and there’s gross negligence. Yeah, we all have done some dumb things but I can say driving drunk fast enough to shatter my car into that many mangled pieces isn’t one of them. :tup: to not taking anyone else with you in your selfish act.

That is some carnage. The M3 I guess isn’t up to the task of “negotiating” curves.

I wonder if he tried drifting that. Looks very tempting if I say so myself.

I’m sorry, but it’s still not really sad to me.

^ That’s a really sad story. Innocent families destroyed. This guy in the BMW could have just as easily plowed into some innocent family as that tree.
One more, local.

Sorry little 6 year old, daddy is never coming home.
Stories like that get my heartfelt sympathies. When drunk drivers kill themselves ass clowning it gets my heartfelt thanks that they’re not on the road putting innocent people at risk anymore.

No, this makes it a funny story. Who the fuck cares, Darwinism at it’s finest. AS long as he doesn’t take out innocent people, whats the problem with it?
