WTF does wealth have to do with it???

I see poor kids off themselves and hurt others through stupid actions all the time.

Good GAWD this class envy is silly.

Agreed.

Yeah. First off, flame me all you want, the driver is a girl. She thinks a boxster is all cutesy so it will be fun to drive fast. RWD + Rear Engine Car is great, but you MUST be an experienced driver to handle it, otherwise you'll fishtail. Second, lack of experience, man or woman.

quite the opposite if you READ the story
:roll:

Right, it would have been darwinism if the car went off the road and it hit the father killing the driver.

Unless you're talking about not wearing your seatbelt. Then I guess they all should have died.

correct . . . only the [poor] idiot not wearing the seatbelt actually suffered direct "consequences" from his INaction . . . a good lawyer should insulate both the father and son from anything "major" :p
:roll:

definitely NOT "survival of the 'fittest'".
:thumbsdown:

the passenger was too dumb to not wear a seatbelt so he died
the kid was too stupid to ask for a dodge viper so he lost his friend and will have to live with the guilt
the father was too moronic to buy a deathbed on wheels for his kid, so he lost $70k or so

yup they are all stupid. i only feel sorry for the brand new SRT-10.

we agreed on the passenger "paying" full consequences.
maybe it was not his friend - just a 'ride'; the 'kid' may have no conscience regrets since his passenger died directly from his own inaction. ;)
the dad didn't "lose" anything - just the deductable. :p

why "feel sorry" for a car? they mostly all end in the junkyard
:roll:

sure, they were all "stupid" . . . but we all make stupid maistakes driving. ;)
Only ONE had any "real" consequences . . . so 1 outta 3 does not support darwinism.
:roll:
:thumbsdown:

First rule of driving, don't swerve out for animals.

Unless it is an elk or a moose.

If I was some wealthy father I'd require my kid to take course(s) on how to handle a beast like that before I let him touch it.

Too bad rich kids rarely have common sense. Actually alot of people have that problem, its just the rich ones get more to make mistakes with(like a 500HP viper). Stupid kids and fast cars piss me off because they are the ones that make me pay outrageous insurance. (I'm 19 with 2000 WS6)

The correct answer is that it's too bad that anyone died. Expressing hate against people who make poor decisions that cause them great tragedy is offensive to say the least -- you're simply not that high and mighty, not even on the internet. It's also bad "karma" (or "what comes around goes around") if you believe in that.

I love it when bad stuff happens to rich shallow people.
I laugh at this article.
HA!

an astounding and incredible generalization, congratulations you poor son of a bitch

:roll:

Someday I hope you get banned. All you ever do is crap on threads. And you try to start shit with people all the time. In the less than 3 months you've been here, you've managed to make me already learn your name and figure out when you've posted something without even having to look at the avatar or name.

Obviously this hits a bit close to home for you, so I'll keep it brief. There are so many assholes that their parents are rich and spoil them, and I get so tired of dealing with them every day, that fvck yes I'm glad when they finally get their fair share of real life. It's not a generalization, it's a fact. If you're going to be rich and shallow, you don't deserve to get out unscathed. It's a shame the driver didn't die.

well his stupidity is a given..teenagers=muddled brain
the fathers is just sheer incompetence. like telling your kid to play in traffic. he deserves a little hate. his actions not only are irresponsible to his son, but to the general driving public.

"The school district's superintendent said that counselors will be at school Monday to talk to student."

So this is a normal thing for you? To wish death on people simply because of their or their parents' economic position? That's pretty fscked up.

actually, there is no "correct answer".

if everyone who made a serious and/or stupid mistake while driving suffered immediate consequences, there would be no traffic. :p

:roll:

hmm . . . . ;)

Friend's dad used to say "Horsepower & hormones don't mix."

I wouldn't have agreed at the time (<18 and Viper obsessed) but any adult who allows this kind of thing to happen is seriously negligent.

They left the S off. I guess no one at your high school ever died while you were there. It's not easy for a lot of people to go through to lose a friend.

Yes, because I said rich people, not rich and shallow people.

This forum has the single-worst case of selective reading ever.

I'd assume a person like you believes rich = shallow.
