Stupid kids. If they were ever going to learn a lesson it was there.

Dang! Here's what I got from it:

A. Those concrete barriers really do work

Who wants to bet the teens will file a lawsuit and try to rehash the Firestone tire/Ford Fiasco once again?

Well, clearly there was tread separation. Though, on review, it may have separated after they slammed the SUV into a fixed wall of concrete.

noobs.

Ah, the glory of youth. At least right about then, they figured out that they weren't immortal after all.

Well, the good news is these guys will probably either be in the hospital or in jail so you won't have to worry about them. You don't own any of these vehicles, do you?

How great is that? People die all the time by getting hit by other stupid/careless drivers, and these punks live after stealing a car at gun point. Just madness.

Not that it's on my to do list, but if I were to steal a car at gunpoint it would at least be one I could have some fun in before I flipped it five times.

Someone lost control of and rolled an Explorer?

Too bad they didn't lose an arm or something. I'm just glad no innocent bystanders were hurt.

I don't think the police used their handcuffs.

They got what they deserve.

I hope they at least have a couple of scars to remember their stupidity.
