Drive Safely

[RavenFan_94]

I am sure that most of you heard about the Thrashers' player that was killed in the Ferrari. We hear a lot of about guys pushing cars (and bikes ala Jason Williams) but I never really thought much of it. I still enjoy lighting up the snake and reporting a good kill every once in awhile.

A friend of mine was out tooling in his new 5 series BMW this weekend. He was showing off the car's handling to a buddy like we all have done dozens of times. When they hit the high way he lost control of the car, (suspected he cut a tire) at around 80 MPH. The car hit the retaining wall on I-95, killing his passenger instantly and critically injuring himself.

It was a sad day for me. Drive safely guys. There is just too much at risk...

(suspected he cut a tire) at around 80 MPH.

It sounds like it was more dumb luck than risky driving. I spent a lot of time on Balt I95 and if he was only doing 80 then someone might have pushed him out of their way. I am truely sorry to hear about the loss of your friend though.

Ouch ! Very sorry to hear that. As you say, like we all have done at times.
Having blown a left rear 335/18 at 60, can only guess at higher speed control
issues. My condolences, and hopes that critically injured friend pulls through.

Unfortunately, he was not able to pull through and passed away early this week. Ugggggh.

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

RIP Dave Delaney and Sam Gallagher.

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. That is a hard lesson to learn about when and where to show off your skills and your car's capabilities.

My deepest condolences to you and the families of your friends.
