Another deceased 370z driver...

RIP. So tragic. Whether street racing, or just jockeying for position, it's just stupid and not worth it. Not worth taking a gamble with your life.

Speed is for the track, in controlled conditions. We all know what our rides are capable of, why must so many feel the need to show others too?

So sad for the families involved in this tragic loss.

Sucks to read things like this... RIP

Sad. Rip

I'm sry to hear about this guys. Really makes me stop and think to be more careful.

Awful story, with implication he was doing something wrong (unconfirmed racing), adds an extra trauma to the family.

I think this is the type of reactionary change that will benefit all of us. Practicing restraint is hard to do in such a nice car, but it does pay off in the end (I'm not assuming he was racing. I'm speaking in general.)

I'm talking to myself first with this "advice".

It is painful to read things like this. My heart goes out to the family!

That sucks to hear. I wonder if he was a member on this forum? *shrugs*

the picture of the crashed car doesn't look so bad, from the look of it, the driver should have been able to walk away but maybe he wasn't wearing the seat belt :-(
