I was just informed someone I knew from school was killed around 2:30 this morning while most likely street racing against some girl. He hit a tree and was killed instantly. Not sure if there was any drinking involved but I hope there wasn't. I mean I wasn't really good friends with him but it is still to close to home for me :rolleyes: thanks for letting me share, otherwise it would eat me up some Son - 1995 Mystique LS Zetec 5-spd --> newest "mod" -> a girlfriend by my side Father - 1995 Contour SE Duratec 5-spd Mother - 1999 Contour SE Sport Duratec 5-spd My CEG Registry My Car My Home Page

Actually I think that the CEG has ... it's all the other kids that need to ... Sad to hear that that happened to somebody you knew. We always figure it happens to "somebody else," but that's never the case. Moment of silence. Matthew 98.5 Contour SE V6 It has spent 1.5 years under the wrong identity ;-)

My girlfriend's friend knew a girl that went out with that Jon that killed from that psycho serial killer. With all the degrees of removal it still moved me quite a bit. sorry to hear it man, - Murph 2000 - Contour SVT - Silver 1971 - Porsche 914 - Red

I know I have breifly looked at how I drive and wonder if i should tone it back some, and that was part of my reason for sharing. after talking to one of my friends some more he was a passenger in the car. the driver is in the hospital now Son - 1995 Mystique LS Zetec 5-spd --> newest "mod" -> a girlfriend by my side Father - 1995 Contour SE Duratec 5-spd Mother - 1999 Contour SE Sport Duratec 5-spd My CEG Registry My Car My Home Page

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... I love this forum. I swear I am a better driver (as good as an 18-year-old can get ) thanks to people sharing stories like these. I do the same thing oftentimes as well. Thanks for the reminder; sorry to get OT. Matthew 98.5 Contour SE V6 It has spent 1.5 years under the wrong identity ;-)
