Supra Passengers Survive 200' Fall
Story Here
Two teenagers miraculously survived when their car plunged 200 feet down a cliff along Devil's Slide on the northern San Mateo County coast, rescue workers said Saturday.
Eduardo Valle, 18, and Chris Bowie, 19, climbed out of the badly damaged Toyota Supra, which came to rest on a small rock outcropping at the water's edge. In the pitch black of Friday night, they managed to crawl to rocks about 25 feet away and were calling for help on a cell phone when the car exploded into flames, according to the California Highway Patrol.

What's wrong with you? The eighties supras (MK III) were incredible cars in their own right. Have you no appreciation for great automobiles? I bet you think the original 180 ZX is a nasty car too don't you?

I heard Supras weren't that safe... like if you get in a head on collision it's pretty much guaranteed to blow up in flames. True?
Glad those people survived the accident, too.
