 bad times.
A mate of mine used to test drive prototypes and has had some nasty smashes before. He eventually gave it up as it was too dangerous. Not as glamarous as it looks.
RIP.

Broken collarbones and stuff isn't fun. He drove most of his on tracks too, at high speeds.

And yet a few of us choose to pay for this privelege. Id happily take a job doing what I like doing even if there is a risk involved. What job doesnt hold a risk these days? May as well die doing something you enjoy.

Well he enjoyed it and gave it up. Speaks volumes to me tbh. He wasn't driving high performance cars either. Nine times out of ten it'd be a shit 5dr family hatchback.
