The talk on the ferrari board is that people (posters on fchat) had seen him throughout the day driving recklessly and trying to get people to race him.

Ya I go down there a lot and it is one of those streets that begs you to speed. When I had my cobra I would get hit up all the time to race. It is patrolled a lot by cops though so it is a big risk. The 73 Toll road is another autobahn like road in the OC. That is where a local guy got stopped doing over 210mph in his Veyron.

Geez. That car is toast. Must have been acting like a doofus to jump the median on that type of roadway. Unfortunate his passenger's family now has to deal with this. Maybe he'll get cited for 2nd degree manslaughter?

i think the faster your car, the more you are likely to drive like a douche. I seen a few Ferrari on the road and the majority of time, they drive really fast. like 200km on public highway.

That'll buff right out.

There have been a lot of fatal crashes around here lately too. People have gotten more reckless and I think they have become more reliant on their cars to protect them. Bad recipe.

I was just about to post, yep they are not the car to crash. Very sad to hear!

Ferrari's break smoothin half more often than not. they're race cars without the race car safety measures.
