Drive Safe Out There

Coolieman1220 · 12-18-2011, 04:28 PM

I know we all love to open up our cars every now and again but when you do just make sure you can control it.

21 Year old just got a birthday present of a BMW 3 series. In Trinidad, they cost around 400-450k TT dollars which is about $70,000 US dollars.

There is 1 major highway in the whole country, North South, the speed limit is 80 kph (50 MPH) but people routinely do much more without penalty. My cousin cruises home on it doing 135-140 kph (85 MPH) and we get passed like nothing by evo's.

People on it don't drive very safe and many of the cars are not in good condition.

I can only imagine this guy was just tryna open it up...
Crashed into a concrete wall for an overpass at 3 in the morning, the car is totally mangled.

It looks like the wheel is a hubcap!

On a more serious note, it's so sad to hear about stuff like this. RIP
