Another sad wreck yesterday
It's just not worth it. Everyone be careful and enjoy your ride responsibly. At least the passenger survived. Amazing anyone survived from the photos.

Wow! 
I'm amazed that the passenger survived. What a horrible scene.

I feel very sorry for the families and friends of those two men.
100+ mph on public roads is rarely a good idea. I don't know the road or conditions but if you must go that fast pick your spots very carefully.
Unless you are on a closed course or race track anything can and many times does happen. Remember we are not alone out there.

I agree with you 100%. It's not something I would ever do, but you and I both know some people will. I just want them to think real hard before they kill themselves or worse some innocent family just out for a ride. I'm not sure it is an accident when you willfully endanger others with your actions.

for the driver and passenger, but going that fast on a public road was not the brightest idea.

Speed does not always kill. Stupid is what kills. The same thing can happen at 70 MPH or 80 mph, and those are legal limits in a lot of places.
I don't ever recommend acting a fool on the road.

A horrible way to go....I just don't understand 100MPH on public roads.
Our roads around my area of the world are rarely safe for the speed limit with all the pot holes and craters...definitely wouldn't dream of 100 mph around here not even on the interstate.
Prayers for the family.

I'm not sure if the car had run flats or not but if it did and you then add pavement separators or potholes, your just asking for trouble. I've hit pavement separators at 80 mph with the Goodyears and it really gives me a scare.
