    Not to sound like a complete heartless creep, but I'm glad she did not kill any innocents. Worried about her safety? Not so much.

    Jeff the odds are she will not reach Cleveland. If she does she'll be easy to spot in her be-flamed MINI.

    Today's etiquette tip:

    If you're trying to kill yourself, at least have the common courtesy not to try to take others with you.


    Another rant...

    Post up a video of yourself running at warp speed on a deserted freeway, and they'll call out the whole CSI crew to hand you a ticket, but nothing (except our derision) will happen to this ******. (A type of hat for those not impressed with censorship.)

    Yeah I knew she would pull the video, but enough people have already saw it and now know the car. It's not like it's hard to forget.

    Dang...just another "day late and a dollar short". Maybe M/A should start its own "lookit what a dumbutt I was at the Dragon" page and start naming names/cars....

    Did the car in the video exercise bad judgement – sure, no doubt.
    [soapbox]
    However, let he/she who has never pulled some sort of bonehead move behind the wheel of a vehicle, whether or not they got away with it, speak up.
    I have to wonder whether or not anyone here has ever crossed the double lines on the Dragon? Elsewhere?
    Passed in a No Passing Zone?
    Ever run a red light?
    Ever been at least partially (doesn’t matter if you got a ticket) at fault in a collision?
    Ever succumbed to the urge and initiated or accepted the challenge to street race?
    Anyone here ever had a drink (not even to excess mind you) and driven?
    Perhaps I am way overreacting, but to me, the continued comments here to the extent of what the car looks like seems like is dangerously close to cyber-bulling or an invitation to harass.
    I can’t speak for others, but I am becoming increasingly tired and frustrated by posts like this on the ‘Friendly’ MINI Site.

    Didn't see the video, but from reading the thread I've got the suspicion that it's this Mini?[​IMG]
    From Texas, has flames, female driver.

    This is getting off topic, but teenagers have been driven to suicide by taunting and ridicule. That's still cyberbullying.

    Edit: Just to be clear, I don't feel there has been cyberbullying in this thread. I only wanted to point out that it doesn't necessarily involve a threat.

    When she stopped I was expecting to see her get hit from behind. This will give me nightmares next year.

    I know I'll always have someone run in front of me! Dave.0 you are going to be there next year?:devil:

    That is if I can keep up!

    She probably traded in her MINI for a FIAT.
