[s-cars] Audi TT accident

[Alex Kowalski]

I think the guy is about as lucky as human beings get.  The Audi was
squashed in just the right way to save him.

But what I find a little strange about this conversation is that people are
picking apart the qualities and survivability of the car, but not picking
apart the fact that the truck driver on the Long Island Expressway was
16,000 pounds overweight.  That guy, from the reports I've read, has a few
tickets and citations to deal with, but he wasn't the person driven into the
barrier and then got hammered absolutely flat by a bus!!!!  Don't you think
it's a little macabre to be talking about the survivability of the *victim*
of the accident?

This idiot in the frigging truck caused the accident, he was overweight and
he knew it, and yet somehow it seems we're dissecting whether or not the guy
in the Audi should have survived?  He shouldn't have survived, because that
as**ole in the truck was driving an illegal rig.

It could happen to you, and I don't care if you're in a Maybach, you'll
still be lucky to survive.

Let's put the blame and the suspicion where it should be, for Pete's sake.

Cheers,
Alex
