Do you think the driver lived to tell about it?

Outch. :eek:

That was a Ford Escort (Ford Germany),
it won´t do much more than 120mph (except it was a Cosworth or modified), but seems like that was already too much.
A way smaller sized tree destroyed my Beretta GTZ 2 years ago, but just at 50mph...I saw pics of a 850i flying of the ABahn at 150mph into a wood and desintegrated into nothing.
The biggest chunk they found was the engine block.

Advantages of driving in Germany:
1. Overall, the cars are in much better condition because of tough inspections

2. Licenses are much harder to get, with better driving training

3. The autobahn speed limit is "whatever's safe" up to 155 mph

Two corrections ;)

1. Inspections are tougher, way too tough and modifying a car here is not fun. California seems fun compared to this...

3. 155mph is not the limit.
We have NO limit.
155mph is an unsolicited limit by BMW and Mercedes (even though AMG removes the limiter on request), but for example Porsche doesn´t do it and if someone ever buys a new Bugatti and wants to drive 250mph, he could do it. Whatever sense that makes.

EDIT: BTW Those plates don´t look like german plates, so if that happened in Germany the driver was probably not used to the higher speeds here.

wow so if the driver is used to higher speed,he never has an accident? [img]redface.gif[/img]

Oh, it was never meant to be factual,just a somewhat humourous aside to "brighten" everyone's day. Sorry if it was presented in that light, it was never my intent to quote incorrect "facts."

Sorry, i never meant to pick on you.
I know how that thread was meant and i just couldn´t hold myself back. That´s one of the few topics i know something about ;)

No, of course we never have accidents.... i didn´t say that.
But yes, it´s a difference if you drive 120mph twice a week, if you can estimate distances and speeds, know how long it takes to stop your car from that speed and know in what turns the crappy (f-body) suspension is going to kill you. Some driving schools even teach you how to drive that fast and when NOT to drive fast. That´s the difference to someone who drove 80mph all his life and decides to floor it once on the ABahn...

Nah, I don't think you were picking on me, but I did want to clarify a bit. I don't want people thinking that I believe I know it all and am never wrong. I appreciate your insight, thank you for dispelling a bit of the misinformation that sometimes runs rampant on message boards on occasion! Hmmm, a little Ford Escort, you say? Glad I drive a Buick, lol!
