[DeTomaso] NPC: Fast and Furious crash site....

There was a video of the crash last night on the news from a security
camera across the street. It didn't show the cars. It just showed the
light pole getting knocked down, and the tree getting struck.
Granted, the video didn't show much, but it didn't look like a violent
crash.
Then there were the stupid comments about how it took several seconds until
they saw smoke. Most people think cars blow up on impact like they do in
Hollywood.
I feel bad for everyone involved. Sure, there were some stupid mistakes
made, but this was a tragedy on several levels.

Thanks, It also appears that one pays for the privilege of Mo'Power ( just
like here), we taught them well.
