Wrong assessment. He shouldn’t have gone whipping as fast as he thought possible (that is, faster than he could safely judge the road). By the time he started thinking about ‘oh what do I do now’ he was already committed to going too fast into too tight of a corner. That is, he was fucked. The unfixable mistake was…

Let’s just walk away right now, silently.

It’s awesome that you picked up on this David. I live in Topeka and we have been following this story for a while. It’s crazy that one person can be so bad at driving. We constantly keep an eye out for her and make sure to get away from her as quick as possible if we see her.

No, some are funny

You’d think with all the panel gaps, ventilation would be fantastic.

I’m fixing it in Moab, and then off-roading it.

I want to drive it home, but Patrick won’t let me. I think my coworkers legitimately think I’m ill.

I mean, I usually can, but leave me alone. I can barely keep up with fixing my cars.


Second: people who ask for advice on what car to buy, and then don’t heed it.

Eh yes and no. OP definitely gets points for at least trying to find the owner of the car. After that, in my eyes, you’re in the clear.

I just gave myself a pat on the back for buying an E46 M3 over an E92 335i
