Test Drive of a Lifetime
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 12:22PM 
Three 19 year old kids put this 2010 Ford Mustang GT to work. Lucky for them, Ford Motor Company invested a little time and money into making sure this thing had a Five Star Safety Rating. All three teens walked away from the wreck with minor scrapes and bruises. And NONE were wearing their seat belt.
Apparently some dumb f--k at the dealership handed the keys to these teens and the driver proceeded to lose control of the vehicle. If you take a look at the speedometer pic it's easy to figure out that these kids might not have had safety at the forefront of their mind.

... and i wonder how long it will be before the families sue the dealership for letting their sons test drive this car, and Ford for making a car that goes that fast.... you know it's coming. ;)
probably not long...
too bad those kids didn't get injured a little more. teach the idiots a lesson
they are 19 the dealer ship should be sueing them
heck i think thats the best advertisement for ford haha. i can see it now...." the all new 2010 ford mustang gt so safe evenyour dumbass kid and two of his friends can survive a front end collision at a hundred mph and walk away..."
They're no kids, at least in the eyes of the law. 19 is definitely an adult. Clearly, that is no guarantee of wisdom, but anyway, there you have it.
This just in: 3 Darwin Award candidates narrowly escape oblivion. Darwin says from the grave "That's ok, we'll get them next time"
I work in emergency services. There is no way someone without a belt SURVIVED that crash let alone without any scrapes -- without a belt-- That 5 star rating relies on the belt to hold you away from all the explosives in the car. The A-pillar is so crumpled into the passenger compartment that a frontal impact would have decapitated the front passenger. You don't survive a hundred mile per hour impact into *presumably*
Author: your source is unreliable, why repost? Just say the facts: Stolen car destroyed. Ouch.
@ commenter above:
"sue them for making cars that go this fast"...
Are you serious? It's doing 100; presumably miles per hour. Thats 160km/hr. I've not encountered ANY passenger vehicle that couldn't exceed that speed (even if just brushing the red line).
--addendum--- got cut off after presumably:
presumably rear ending a larger vehicle (peeling of the front end, very little damage to the back end) where this vehicle went under the rear-end-ee...
It likely didn't roll - the sides and rear would have more damage. Any ejection from something like this is THROUGH the windshield - and that is not a 'walk away' kind of accident.
