If the 3.0L can do that, imaging what the 3.2 can do. Was the guy int he CL killed? How badly was he hurt?
If the car can have a crash like that and have the driver survive, imaging what we will belikd if (when?) we have a major wreck.

2001 CL Type S.
No spoiler. No NAV either. No fat chics.
no "phat" chics either.

Can you post the program listing/title with date and time shown? TLC repeats a lot of stuff, maybe we will get lucky (with a repeat).

BTW, the new Acura CL-S is a safe car. 2 people in the CLS got mashed in them, and they didn't like what happened to their cars, but they did walk away without injuries...

The guy is now paralized from the waist down. The fact was is he made 3 or 4 other peoples day suck but they walked away. He got what was coming to him. You don't do 60 through red lights and run from the cops.

I think the show was called "Bad Drivers" or something like that. Anyhow they showed that guy that refused to slow down and did a test demo in a BMW and blew through all the barriers and was still convinced he could stop faster than it was possible. I think I told the board about that guy when someone on here got the same idea about driving crazy like in town. Anyhow, it was "Bad Drivers" I think.....

Series Title: "Beware - Bad Drivers"
Episode Title: "Backseat Drivers"
