I know it's a Porsche Boxster and all, but whatever car it might have been, this is a very sad story. Two young kids, their entire lives in front of them, get killed instantly as a result of a few seconds of very poor judgment. Sad.

Must have been a Launch Vehicle. Check the VIN for option code 762.

Around these parts....

Natural selection at work.
Ain’t no cure for stupid.

I bow to you, mister perfect. I dare you to say that to their parents. What an ass_hole comment.
As a Dad of 4 great young men, I prayed every night of their teens and 20’s to get them one day closer to sound judgement. We were all 10ft tall and bullet proof once.

We are praying everyday that our kids don't do the same stupid mistakes that we did when we were young and managed to survive.
Unfortunately not all my friends that I grew up with did..

Obviously neither of you understood 10/10ths' reference.
We don't need to be pushing people out of here, even if we don't understand or agree with them.

I'll confess to not knowing what you mean by "10/10ths' reference." I'm pretty sure I've got a decent grasp of what's been discussed in this thread.
My comment simply addressed the fact that there seemed to be some bad blood brewing here over this subject (and the comments generated by it), and a de-escalation seemed to be a not-so-bad idea. Which is what I believe 10/10ths was shooting for.
I'm not sure I was "pushing" anyone out of here. Hey 10/10ths—you feel "pushed out" by what I said??

10/10ths, I hope ya don't refrain. I think there's enough room for lots of opinions around here. Even if mine is right. But that includes those (including myself) who think your comment was insensitive and in poor taste, right?
I would point-out, too, that there's only one reason to ANNOUNCE that you're going to stop posting.... as opposed to simply STOP POSTING, hahaha.
