Wow is all i have to say... seeing that happen on tv with other cars is one thing, seeing it with a thirdgen is another.
This will probably have me going 60 on the interstate for a few weeks.
I wonder if he had his seatbelt on, or if he was ejected because the belt broke (didnt these have recalls?)

Another post about this. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/theo...w-who-guy.html
He lived and was ejected from the car. Yesterday the news said he was in the hospital in good condition.

"Dramatic video footage showed the 19-year-old racing past a police car ....
Witnesses said the Firebird was passing cars at more than 100mph moments before the incident."
Glad he's ok ? It's a shame he didn't earn a Darwin Award.

Nobody knows the circumstances as to why the kid did what he did, everything read and posted ALL over the internet is speculation.
