Incredible wreck, sad for the driver, but looking at his username at m3post (LuciferM3?!), it's pretty obvious where he went. I mean, if he believes the Devil Exists, he believes that God exists too, but yeah, just saying.

Wow. Terrible. Makes you wonder how much HP a person truly needs.

While HP is a factor, it appears the driver was drinking so that's definitely a bad choice. This could have happened with him sober who knows, drunk drivers wreck in low hp cars too.

Having happened after a place called "The Player's Club," you know it isn't simply a tragic accident. Guy probably had too much fun and shouldn't have been driving. In any case, RIP.

Sad, also sad that more seem to be mourning the car, an accident is an accident, liquid courage probably added to the situation, but he was also 29 and last I checked people make some pretty stupid mistakes at that age.

It was his time, at least he lived a fortunate life and enjoyed some of the better things, he's gone but life still moves on

My brother lives in that area and I pass that bar every time I go up there. For him to split that car, he was definitely going waaay too fast. The speed limit on that road can't be more than 30, maybe 40 tops. It's unfortunate that some people don't know the limits of their vehicles. I guess it didn't help that alcohol was involved.

Not to sound heartless but i have absolutely zero sympathy for this guy. Sure he might have been a great son/husband/father and his mother/wife/kids will miss him dearly but i've had a few too many friends and relatives lives ended because of a drunk driver.
