So interesting, if you remember back 4 years or so, some professional sports player balled up his C8 in Las Vegas. Sadly, he killed a young woman and her dog. IIRC the C8 driver was up over 100 MPH at the collision, about double the speed of Douche Bro when collected the the Armco with his Maclaren. I remember being impressed how well the front end of the C8 held up (as compared to this Maclaren). Both of the C8's doors easily opened post collision (again, not forgetting the tragic death of someone who was killed in the collision). Decent engineering by GM on its first shot with a mid-engine chassis.

The Douche Bro's Maclaren's front end looks like it easily collapsed and ripped apart at just a bit over 50 MPH. Any more speed in this accident and Douche Bro may have had some mangled feet and broken legs. Lucky boy.

^ That's the trouble with mega expensive sports cars, you get a lot of speed and aero tech with a hyper engine and carbon chassis with fibre glass body even but little in the way of crumple zones with steel and alloy (only the hood on the McLaren is apparently alloy) in case of a whoopsie like this.

As for the "severly underpaid, overworked, forgotten, abused", I would be happy to tell anyone that feels this is their situation that they should spend less time complaining about it and more time looking for another profession. I found a new job about 6 months ago that I thought was better than the last one. I didn't see complaining about the old job changing anything.
You are a real piece of work. SMH

If you disagree with something I said or think its wrong feel free to say something. Thanks for reading my post, your reply is meaningless, literally saying nothing.

Agree, elementary/high school teachers are grossly underpaid. And their Union just plain sucks.

Exactly. Even if money is not an object (in my dream) for me. I will not buy any mega expensive super sport car. Just one accident in those cars could take away my life. There is no second take
