well.....Fred has been reduced to an organ donor.

Very glad the kid is OK.
Lesson learned the hard way. Making mistakes is part of growing up.
That being said, who among us hasn't done something similar and luckily didn't crash. I came really close a few times.
Really glad hes ok too. I made my share when younger as well, almost died rolling my dads '69 Mercy Cyclone 390HP going down a hill on a grid(gravel) road when I was 15. Too much power in that car for a fairly new driver, was thrown out of the car and still cant believe Im alive today.
My dad used to say that a youngster shouldnt have anything too nice, or too powerful for their first car, and I fully agree with that.
But man, still glad hes ok.
