For those of you that have gone up the mountain with me, you know it's treacherous, as do I.

I've seen one car off the road up there, that landed on it's roof, but this member of RSW had a BAD accident doing the run, at obviously unsafe speeds.

Holy shit, look at that branch that went straight through the car. I sure hope no one was sitting in the passenger seat. That's one effed up car after tumbling down the hill. I hope the guy is alright.

E36 either a 328 with the Mtech kit or an M3. With the supercharger, probably putting out around 300+ Hp riding on Alpina rims. was a nice Bimmer...

Oh well, hope the driver was not too badly messed up in the fall.
