    Be sure to listen to this guy's (hammered) 911 call. The 911 Operator asks where he thinks he is, and he replies, 'I think I'm in Mansfield' !!!!

    Is it a 550?
    They never get real close to the car, but they do zoom in on a piece of the drivers side front bumper laying on the ground nearby

    Looks kinda like a 360, I'm sure Jano can find out when the car hits the salvage auction.

    Sucks to be that guy.

    Next thing you know, the Smart Car advocates are going to read this and post that the "survival cell" would have totaled the train and the Smart Car would have merely bounced off the tracks harmlessly.

    It's a 550. 360 doesn't have a cavallino in the front grill area. You can also tell by the air duct on the broken off piece of bumper.

    Hey - if you have to ask that question you just don't get it. Of course you keep enough inertia at all times that it is impossible for you to high center on anything


    Just got a message from by brother that said he saw this on the news last night and the said the driver owns a service shop, anybody know anything about that?

    The best part is when the operator corrects him and tells him he's in Collin County and he replies, "oh, well I'm in Collin County then." Judging by how drunk he sounds on that 911 call, this was an accident waiting to happen...

    What a MORON! Too bad he didn't stay in the car and remove himself from the gene pool

    (Ok, I'm kidding...)

    Smells like a possible insurance play.

    I don't know what's more terrifying, having your Ferrari being hit by a train or being the 911 operator and having to tell the driver to exit the car when there is a train about to hit it.
