Ive seen this before..I love that song. Sad story, not to knock on it or anything, but this why a kids first car shouldnt be able to go that fast. Some people know how to drive, Ive been driving since I was 10 years old(small town, plenty of back roads...and a cool Grandfather) Im 21 now, but I still dont think I could hop in a high horsepower car and come out without a scratch within a few months.

May want to re-edit the title to read: "This is what happens when idiots Street Race.."

Speed doesn't kill people. Bad drivers do. We need reminders like these to ensure you're not driving like an idiot. Easy to point fingers at people who street race and call them dangerous, but the chances are equally likely that you driving like an idiot is putting just as many or more people in danger. So get off your cell phone and pay attention to the road.

And yes, giving a hopped-up car to a kid who can't drive is being an idiot Parents are idiots for giving their child that car and the kid is an idiot by default

^Speed can also be a factor. If you go too fast and the conditions aren't right, you can lose control even if you are good. Remember what happened to that 350Z? His tire blew up, and he crashed. Luckily for him, he made it out without a scratch.
