Respect your car.

I actually pass this area all the time. The road itself was designed to be picturesque with sweeping hills and curves. It's a parkway and wasn't designed for high speeds, especially when the conditions were less than ideal. It was around 4 in the morning, so that road was pretty empty. It's tempting to drive fast on that stretch, especially if you're a 17 year old kid in an Sti. The curve where it happens comes up quick on you. Throw in the fact that he was unskilled, high on weed at the time, speeding and likely distracted and you have a recipe for certain disaster. The parents are idiots for even buying him this thing...and worst for not knowing where thier son was at 4 in the morning. Such a sad story all around. Knowing the driver killed four of his friends the rest of his life is going to be a punishment worst than death.

Not 100% true. If you look at the pictures of the car, it's in two pieces. No amount of engineering, short of a roll cage is going to absorb that much of an impact. He survived because he had a seatbelt on while everyone else was ejected from the car. The fact is, these kids think they're immortal.
