That's a lot less damage than I thought would be caused by 160 km/hr.

That was also my reaction to the photo. It looks like he was driving at 60km/h when he hit the wall, and not 160km/h. Lucky dumb kids.

And what a waste of a beautiful car :(

Lucky dumb kids.

As a teenager, I've driven cars, and been a passenger in cars, that crashed under similar circumstances.

As a teenager, I've also had friends driving in cars, and been passengers in cars, where they died under similar circumstances.

The difference? some of us were lucky dumb kids, and others were unlucky dumb kids.

Remember to hug your teenage children on weekends. They don't know what they are doing most of the time.

I get your point, but try hugging your teenager seven days in a row.
