You'd figure they learn after 6-related deaths.

EDIT: I guess that makes it 7 now.

This stuff always happens.
My parents went to Seattle for 2 weeks last month, and there were 3 people that died during street races in 2 weeks. It happens non-stop down there, but we don't always hear about it.

that is terrible, you think they would learn after 6 deaths, it is really too bad, it just goes to show that you need to use your head and not street race, it isn't worth it

Hopefully they will change their ways:dunno::banghead:

ya, im thinkin that they dont really DESERVE any pity right now. 6 dead, well shit, at least its not 6 bystanders dead. When you roll up to a light and rev the motor and stare a guy down, you know the risks, from speeding/stunting/racing tickets, all the way to getting youself deadalized. When you race, chances are that nothing will happen, either you'll win or lose, but there is still a big risk in doing it. Just cause it isnt likely dosn't mean it cant happen.

I spend a lot of time in FL. There's a lot of freeway and a lot of space down in Miami. The races are a cat and mouse game with police, they don't really do much else than just come in and flash the lights. There was a white RSX down there, the guy works at Dynamic Turbo, it's REALLY bad ass, and the guy street races a lot. I wonder if it's the same guy.

Wow...thats sad shit.
I still dont get why people do that to themselves...Sure, its the thrill of the moment or whatever, but take it to a track...
Its awful to hear a story like this...

Again, how is it sad. The guy killed himself, not any innocent people. He knew the risks.

Still...He's like, what, no more then 22, and he just fucked his life up.
Its kinda sad to see that happen to someone that could of had so much going for them...

They are busy giving out tickets for dumb little thing that they consider big issues... like red tail lights that are a little washed out instead of Pantone red #2, technically illegal window tint...

One time I almost got sideswiped on the freeway by a patrol car... I think he was asleep or something. I wish I could say they are all worthless, but every once in a while I come across a wise sage cop & then I just pray that all the rest follow his/her example.

Sorry about the rant...

BTW, in the end its not the Polices job to save people from themselves. If somebody is playing Russian Roulette, ya its illegal and they'll stop em if they can, but nobody blames the police when the fool plays one too many times, they blame him.

Yeah. The guy knew what he was getting into. If you can't handle losing, don't play.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's the passengers that pay the ultimate price for the driver's stupidity.

"All I can say about their speed right now," Kirkland police Lt. Bill Hamilton said, "is what we've been told by witnesses. They said the two of them were rapidly accelerating away from them (when the crash occurred). So that means they were going pretty fast."

Wow...such excellent skills of deduction.

MuGen PoWeR had a Arctic Blue Pearl RSX-S. So it's not the guy you're thinking of.
