You guys are retarded. It's obvious she's ok, so what's the big ******* deal with asking for pics? Or should I say "glad you're OK" like everyone else? Like it's gonna mean anything coming from a complete stranger.

Can I say this: "You shouldn't have been chasing that Benz in the first place. You should be glad you had the blowout at 80mph because if you actually did catch the guy and were involved in road rage, what then if he pulled out a gun and shot you? In that case, the 80mph blowout is the more favorable scenario."

Crucify me.

here's what happens to a 2001 M3 at like 150 after a front blew and swerved to the pass lane and cliped one telephone pole and broke the second in half and killed off about 400 feet of fence... They were drinking and coming back from a strip club... I lived with the driver...
