thats horrible.

all of it.

and then ontop of it all, the ******* supra driver can't take responsibilty for his actions, he tries to blow it off like he just got busted for speeding...ghah

so stupid that he's justified it by thinking that everyone should get the **** outta his way and by not following the rules of the road.

wonder if things might have ended differently if only the cop had noticed his erratic driving earlier, or the stupid-supra had noticed the cop...

too many variables to think about

This coming from a supra owner, why the hell would a supra want to race a llitte protege? Why would I want to race a car with 1/3 the horsepower of mine? I'm calling BS here.

rash_girl

i don't think its b.s at all

just because you don't race everything you see using process of elimination, doesn't mean that everyone else uses the same logic.
the supra driver was obviously a moron to begin with, why give him credit for being able to assess engines.

the dude was messed.

plus even i've had way faster cars ride my *** just to see what i've got...its not uncommon in my opinion

(I'm guessing you skimmed through it and didn't take time to READ the story. It's basically about an innocent man who lost his life)

That's what I said to myself when he was tailgating me, riding beside me, and reving his engine. He was an idiot thats all. I also stated that in the story.This wasn't really a race story, this was about a stupid a$$ driver who thought his car was the **** and caused an accident. So that comment makes no sense and nothing to do with this story unless your the driver of that Supra. But you don't live in Maryland, at least I don't think so.

Is it just me or is every Supra owner a spoiled immature brat that can not ever take responsibily for his own actions?

redrims

You ain't lyin! Because my friend has a Supra and he seems a little immature and doesn't care for time.

just my opinion, but sounds like the Supra was trying to go faster in the LEFT lane and once he saw an opening on the right, he used it. he can get charged for using the right lane to pass and speeding....but the Protege and the Silverado were all, technically, speeding over 55mph (or 65mph depending on states).

the Supra technically had the right of way on the right lane....the Silverado misjudged the speed of the oncoming Supra when he tried to change into that lane.....then the truck abruptly switch back and/or hit the brakes at the same time causing him to lose control and go into a spin. this was similar to that Civic in a video called "ricer killed himself"....where he lost cotrol when he changed into a lane that was occupied by a VW(?) that he didn't see..... and went on the median.

I see what your saying, but to know that the Supra was at falt you had to see it or really understand how I was explaining it. Actually all of us were doing the speed limit because it was traffic, rush hour. Once the lanes cleared a little the Silver. went, then me. At the time the Supra was tailgating the hell out of me. I couldn't even see his head lights. Me and the Silverado was getting over for the exit and I was trying to get out of the Supras way. When the silverado was trying to get in the slow lane to exit off, the Supra shot over 3 lanes doing aprox. 100mph+ , so the Silverado tried to get out of its way because it was accel. fast and It looked like it was going to hit him from behind. So in trying to prevent an accident, a accident formed because of the Supra's reckless driving.

i see what you're saying. but it's still going to be difficult to get a conviction on the Supra unless there's a point of impact that can be proven, ie. paint from the truck on the Supra

otherwise, this would still be classified as the Silverado failing to maintain control.

now if you testified that the Supra forced the truck off the road, it may stick, but you'd be committing perjury. the Supra technically had the right of way. now if the truck got in front and the Supra struck him from behind then it would be the Supra's fault.

but i can understand what happened to the truck, because i lost control like that once in the rain and the worst thing to do is hitting the brakes which i did.....

redrims

Yea, your basically right, because the newspaper said it was the Siverado's fault also. But TO ME, it will always be the Supra's because he had no right to be doing 35+ over the speed limit. I think none of this would have happened if the Supra wasn't trying to show off.
BTW: there was a driver who wrote a statement against the Supra, but I don't know the outcome of that.

Man I feel sorry for ya witnessing that!!

But I can't say much cuz I'm a racer myslef...but I know for sure not to race in a traffic area., and certainly not during rush hour...that was absoultely dumb.

My racing time for me are during early early morning..by that I mean 2 - 3 am....which still involves allot of risk.

But I do think its was stupid!!! I just think that ppl that race in rush hour..or even during the day are just dumb, so many cars on the road.

but man i hate ppl who actually race carelessly cuz, so many deaths are caused cuz of racing....

I don't think this will stop me from racing...but it will difinately make me be more careful

semtex

thats sum sad stuff, both of ya, i know that felling when they look at ya and are like stupid street racers and just cuz ya got the car dosent make you the street racer, a select few ruin it for the most of us
somebody should fill up that supras tank,,,if ya know what i mean
-> iss:

I feel sorry you had to witness such a tragic event like that. Those are always hard to witness. Hopefully the dude in the Supra will pay someway or another. Or think of it as this ... He just earned himself a one way ticket to hell hopefully, and will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
People like him need to know there limitations, you never race in rush hour traffic thats plain stupid. Or race others that you already know your gonna win. Thats pointless, but people are stupid and always will be. Everyone has to accept that fact.
A lot of people of this fourm speed and race, and some of you probaly EVEN raced in rush hour traffic as well, and all i am saying is be careful.

A innocent person should never have to die off ones own mistakes.

Well, not that I want to get into an argument about it, but I don't think he is necessarily hellbound, but I think the guilt will probably haunt him for a long time to come - if he realizes what he caused. And a guilt like that I'm sure would be hellish...

Is there a cover story on the internet that I can read?
