SI Teens Brag About Going Airborne at 100 in Nasty Accident

A group of Staten Island teens who survived a near brush with death after their car flipped over last week appear to have learned a valuable lesson...that faces full of scars make for great MySpace photos. After one of the six teenage boys in the car last Friday spilled the beans to the SI Advance about what was just regular old 100 mph ride in 17-year-old Justin Sacchi's Nissan before the airborne turn that would flip them over five times, the group then refused any further comments. Except for Sacchi's mother, that is--she denied any speeding and blamed a "dangerous bump" on the exit ramp that the DOT should have fixed years ago. But kudos to the Advance for checking the teens' MySpace pages where they publicly bragged about hitting 103 mph and the 10 feet of air they caught, one changed his user name to "We CheAteD DeAtH iTseLf" and another listed his mood as "high on morphine." The profiles still appear to be unlocked.

Palestine: And I stand by the fact that people making comments like yours are fucking cowards that would never say those same comments to the face of a Staten Islander - fucking scumbag.

"Except for Sacchi's mother, that is--she denied any speeding"

Oh, was she there?

It's not so cool when you have to pay for the car yourself. Hopefully Mommy and Daddy won't but these losers another car. S.I. is filled with spoiled rich kids who drive like assholes. Thank god they didn't hurt anyone but themselves.

What can I say Nanny? They were kids. They'll learn. It takes time to be a total asshole.

I must say those Japanese know how to make a well made car.

^ Yeah! 100mph is for pussies. Real stud beast warriors bury the needle and then take their hands off the wheel. Pretenders.

I would suggest they get a faster car and try that stunt again doing 140 to see if they can clear 20 feet. Oops large tree ahead. Hang on this could be serious.

Mother, "They should have removed that tree years ago. It always gets in the way of my little baby's driving habits."

Mr Mel

It's better that they didn't slam into a car full of regular citizens because then they would have the scars as well as hard time.

They should never be allowed on the roads with the rest of us again.

If people thought that they would loose their license to drive for the rest of their life, there would probably be far fewer episodes of reckless or drunk driving.
