I won't say don't horse around, because I still do it every once in a while. But be more selective when and where you choose to let the beast loose. And always ask yourself, is the risk worth the danger?
My condolences to the family. R.I.P.

I'm completely amazed at how many people are only noticing the evo's color and not that four young people have managed to kill themselves within a week in these cars.
Who f*cking cares what color it was? Do you really believe that the color of the car had some influence on the accidents?
As far as stereotyping young drivers goes, it's not a stereotype it's a fact that 18-25 year old young male drivers are at higher risk than most drivers. I'm not saying there aren't guys who are an exception to that but, for the most part when I have some idiot revving at me wanting to street race and I look over he's around 20 years old every time. If you are an exception to that rule that's awesome. Congratulations on having more sense than most of when we were younger. Sooner or later the other guys will come around or end up like this story. Stop thinking that we are just picking on younger drivers and listen.
Also, I don't know about the accident in Florida but, one of the other local stations around here said speed was a factor in this accident and I don't think the tree ran out in front of him. Which kind of rules out it being a fluke.
