Off Road Driving

(6 January 2005, Johannesburg, South Africa):

Massive thunderstorms had turned the Braamfontein Spruit into a raging river. It was a little past midnight when police warned Barbara, 33, that a flash flood was inundating the bridge ahead. They urged her not to cross. But Barbara was driving a BMW X3, an off-road vehicle with xDrive all-wheel-drive.
Brochures assured her that the luxury SUV with Sensatec upholstery and an 8-speaker stereo system had "virtually unlimited agility." So Barbara laughed off the police advice, and continued towards the bridge. xDrive all-wheel drive lost its grip as the floodwaters swept her BMW X3 off the bridge. Her body was found later inside the vehicle over a mile down the river.

Should have bought the X5. :doh hah

hah...Women!

I wonder what was going through her head before she died....Maybe should have listened to the cop.

Wow. Well all wheel drive doesn't = instant yacht, just add water :shades

ha ha what a dumbass.

I'm sorry, I can't find this funny. Someone died, yes, stupid reason it is, but, still, someone died. Lesson learned hard.
