[Shrieking Seizure]

I live in small-town norway, and we have 4 feet plus of snow all year round. You get your drivers license when you are 18 years old, and KILLER car taxes assures that there is nobody driving around with more than 200 hp unless they are damm rich. (For the price of a 911 turbo here you get a Camaro V6, a Viper, AND an electric grill in the US)
I knew this guy who had recently gotten his license, and had bought a Mark IV Golf, which had been tuned quite a bit. It was a bit of wreck, without any winter type tyres and quite a bit of rust, but he was still understandably proud.
So, three days after getting his drivers license, he decides to race one of the local "Rieger" maniacs, who had a much nicer car (tuned Bora).
I think there was some alcohol and perhaps even marijuana in the picture, but anyway, they where racing flat out over our local highway, doing about 160 kmh, which would be about 100 mph.
There are a series of tunnels and twisty bends, and that is where they where racing.
The guy with the golf was in second place, and he was coming out of the tunnel, and he was kinda in both lanes, and he spotted this big truck coming toward him, and he panicked and did an emergency maneuvre with the wheel. Thing was, there was ICE outside the tunnel, and not inside.
He lost traction and started drifting uncontrollably.
The guy in the truck stood on the brakes, but it was too late.
The truck T-boned the golf, and pretty much destroyed it.
He was found, crushed, inside the car, and of course, dead.
There are a lot of accidents where i live, but this one stands out especially as i was his good friend.
What i want to say is, whenever you are racing your car or whatever, bear in mind that you could die... especially if its in the winter.
