Ever hear of the Pit Manuever used by police forces throughout the world when in persuit, it's used because it's effective no matter the driver's ability, simple fact is car's are not meant to be driven sideways (though some 911 rwd owners might have you thinking differently ). At those speeds, it could be lifethreatening. This speaks volumes for the car and it's ability to protect it's occupant and is a great example of why Porsche's have ballooned to the 3300+ lb's weight of the current cars.

Hey young drivers aren't always bad drivers

My bro and I are way better drivers than my dad, partly because we've done a couple driving courses and don't talk on the cell while driving

But I'm glad to see that the cabin was still intact

Of course you're assuming that the 19 year old was giving an accurate description of what happened

well judging by the evidence given...I declare Taco Bell while very tasty, arms you with enough gas to heat a small village for a week.

Looks like they were going a weeee bit faster than ~85.

The part I find amazing is that the front airbags didn't pop.
