Doesn't BMW offer free scheduled maintenance? The sick part is I probably know the girl who owned (well leased) that car. If it was red and from Phoenix anyway...

@BaconSandwich and the generic grey civic of doom: Permanently disabling someone should mean immediate license suspension with a no tolerance policy. If caught operating a vehicle again, you should be immediately castrated, and if caught again, executed Chinese Style with a bullet to the brain.

Ummm...His license wasn't suspended indefinitely after the first incident?

Where's the "Not for Hire" sticker?

Weird...I thought today you were thankful for the RX8...

@Sam Smith: I will test drive one of these in the next couple of weekends. You've picqued my curiosity.

RX8? WT Holy F? You're kidding?

Base Model 300 for the win. There's too many of them around and the design is no longer flashy...And sans V8 it's an absolutely sloppy and underpowered driver...

I still don't think the car will sell at it's projected price point.

@Brian: Some would argue sarcasm isn't civil.

@powermatic: LOL O.K. Except that my 6 beer estimate is based on a statement from someone at the party that said they had a 12 pack between the two of them (6 each...get it?), and that the average weight of a 19 year old male of average height is 150 lbs (5'10", medium build).

@dal20402: I would take that challenge, but since we're talking about percentages, I'd want to do it sober, then do it drunk.

@TheTooth: There's a little grey area...I still think they made an unsafe turn, but if it were just the turn, and not the drinking, I could see the officer being at fault (especially when the article says he was doing almost 100 mph).

@TheTooth: Yes it would. They wouldn't be, but if it said they were stone sober, my opinion would change.

@iancoleTX: Who's the douchebag? You would actually WANT me to reach out and hurt someone so maliciously? Really? My point here has nothing to do with their parents. I feel for their parents, but IMO they were still at fault. If there parents ASKED me who I felt was at fault, however, I would tell them, but I'm…

@TheTooth: LOL Because Gang/Senseless Violence trumps drinking and driving on my list of evil.

@TheTooth: The only other fact is that the officer was speeding, and as I've stated, IN MY OPINION, drinking and driving is an evil beyond forgiveness, whereas speeding is just stupidity, and stupidity can be easily forgiven.

@Adam Spano: Negative. As proven here, 12 random people would still blame the cop, because there is a built in bias that the cop was wrong.

@TheTooth: You're actually compairing violent gang activity with speeding and trying to make that analogy work? The problem with your analogy is that it doesn't contain the other factor: making a left in front of oncoming traffic. I could flip your analogy around and say "What if the cop hadn't been speeding and…

@Adam Spano: LOL Because district attorney's never do anything because it's popular with the public? You're obviously ignorant to the ways of the Government. What I've said is not assumption. Check the alcohol metabolism rate. As reported by several witnesses, they had at least 6 drinks. At least. 6 drinks and,…
