Default Something to think about

Here's a video sent to me by an awesome customer of mine.. Mr.Baker spends a lot time finding and sending out positive messages via emails to a ton of people, I'm fortunate to be one those people. The message from this video was so powerful that I felt I had to share it with my internet family.. Check it out

Wearing your seatbelt also makes you a better driver. It helps keep you in your seat so when you're making turns you're not sliding around. So those that thinks they're too cool to wear them for safety, you can think of it in a performance way.


A good friend of mine has a boosted e30 325i convertible. He has racing seats with 4 point harnesses. He decided to give a friend a ride around the block. Since he was right down the street, he didn't bother to wear his seat belt properly. He just put the shoulders on loosely.

He hits it on a straight right down the street from my house and it gets sideways off the road. He hits the curb and the car flips. He flew into the windshield and his face dragged on the road. He was lucky he put a hardtop on his car.

He had to get reconstructive surgery and now his face is shifted on one side. People don't even recognize him. He looks like twoface. His friend wore his seat belts and he was perfectly fine.

So it doesn't matter where you are or where you're going. Always wear your seat belt. He was lucky to be alive.

Dinh the commercial is from England, so therefore 95% ofl the cars are RHD. And last time I check their not that a$$ backwards .. They do have airbags in their cars lol
