so you knew you needed brakes and you decided to push it...explain to me how that's the pads fault again?

120???

Brake pads fault?

Generally unbelieveable beyond fantastic description of events...

This story stinks of :bsflag:

This is what happens when you hit a pole at 120mph

 

[starscream5000]

Enzo Ferrari?

 

[3p141592654]

Yes it is. The crash site is about 15 miles from where I live. Quite a soap-opera on this $1.5M part out. You can read about it here.

[starscream5000]

Actually, according to that link the crash happened at 162 MPH .

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Guys he's in Canada. METRIC SYSTEM.

 

[3p141592654]

Yeah, maybe I should have said 120+ mph. I think the exact speed is probably unknown given the circumstances.

 

[starscream5000]

Guys he's in Canada. METRIC SYSTEM.

It says MPH in the link whore .

 

[3p141592654]

Yeah we know. If it has been 120mph the car would be in a box.

Guys he's in Canada. METRIC SYSTEM.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

K you guys seem to missed that.
Plus they don't have feet in canada.
They were banned by the pope.

SS I was pretty sure he just threw out a number. :dunno:

 

[starscream5000]

I don't see how the car could be in as many big pieces that it's in after wrecking that fast. You would think it would be in smaller pieces all over the road. I can't believe the drunkard walked away from that. Ain't that some shit? The fucking drunks are usually the ones that live.

The only difference is that the supra would stay in one peace and you will be dead inside that crushed peace.

Thats why i have brakes that can lock up my 245's @ 60mph BOO YAAA

I had my brakes before i had my supra running right.... (only 4.5 psi )

Stock rotors and calipers... its all in the 120+ dollar pads.

 

[3p141592654]

That $1.5M Enzo has a carbon fiber shell. You could drop it out of an airplane and it would still be intact.

 

[NeatOman]

It has brake points for every major part of the car to reduce impact to the driver. Thats why its split in half nicely and the engine is siting by its self as the wheel, but the wheel is by its self because its meant to brake off vs. damaging the body.

ouch

So you think it would be less expensive to repair a body panel then having to repair an entire corner?

 

[SupraMario]

How is driving hard on known worn pads a mechanical failure?

I don't condone everyone busting his balls but come on it was a stupid thing to do in the hope of getting laid and could have cost them both their lives.

dude, you have to give him credit, he was using the car to get some....
