Young guys and fast cars

[crayzayjay]

A couple of weeks ago on anoter car site i frequent, a fellow moderator, and someone i consider a friend put up a thread with pictures of his friend's pristine GT3 RS. His friend is 23, and was having the car tuned. A few minutes ago he put up another thread saying that his friend had passed away in a car accident

I don't understand German but from an online translation of the following link, it seems he was driving much too quickly.

3 or so weeks ago, a friend from Dubai told me that his friend died in a Carrera GT in a very high-speed accident on the motorway. The guy was also in his early 20's


My driving has calmed down a lot over the last couple of years, and while news like this are tragic, they also make me thankful that i didn't have an overly powerful car as my first. Let's face it, i don't know one auto enthusiast who doesn't rate himself as an above-average driver, and while for the most part that may be true in terms of technique, or awareness, we are prone to getting carried away and doing stupid things. Especially when young. Young guys and supercars don't mix

Drive safe, everybody.
