I wasn't trying to "stick up" for a particular car make. This has NOTHING to do with Hondas. I drive a honda and I really don't care if someone doesn't prefer them. I'm losing sleep over that. I only commented because I can imagine being the friends and family of those kids and seeing that post. Can you imagine how that would make you feel? Nobody really knows what happened on the road today. All we know are what the media is saying and I AM NOT saying they are liars, per su, but not all the facts have been recovered. Nobody had radar as to how fast they were going and the second car involved was an Isuzu Rodeo which I can't really picture racing. The point of my original "newbie" post was that human life isn't something to be rudiculed and belittled because someone doesnt like the car or age of the person. It is hypocritical to say things that were said. Just try to live out of your own box and understand other peoples situations for once . . .

im praying for all involved. From what i hear I would even pray for the officers and rescue teams who had to see the people. People were ejected and someone was stuck. People were crushed by the head.........

Very true, but numerous eye witnesses have said two cars were racing and as you can clearly see in the photo, that is not the result of a 50 mph crash. I believe the CRX hit the Isuzu, I don't think the Isuzu was racing. I know you weren't busting on Buicks, and I really don't care if you were, I was trying to lighten things up a little...........

Its one thing to fuck up your life. its another to fuck up someone elses. If that dip shit would have hit me while he was racing he would wish he was dead or i would have killed him myself. There should be no sorrow for someone that kills themselves off for doing something that stupid that could have killed ALOT of other people. Atleast hes out of the gene pool.

Any word on the other "racer"

My prayers go out to the people these two stupid f-ing idiotic ricers hurt.
Anyone who races on a busy street at over 100mph gets no sympathy from me. Fuck them and any ricer that wants to stick up for them.

I've only been on thei site for a little over a year. And I have already seen my share of " Driver Killed While Racing" threads. I don't rely on reporters either, but from the eyewitness reports it's pretty clear what was going on. I feel sorry for the innocent people on the road whos lifes are turned around becase of some dumb jackass who thinks he has a race car in a CRX and drives it as such on U.S. 19.

And don't think I'm not compassionate. I never made any rude comments about a loss of life. I see assholes drive like that everyday on US 19, I do hope they wreck themselves, but not get hurt.
