That sucks big time. That kind of speed needs to be left for the track not on the streets. What a waste. Just few years older than my son.

Yeah, that sucks. Kids buying these cars nowadays are so reckless. Granted it's a "sports car" but still...as mentioned above; save it for the track.

It was tragic and I don't mean this in a cold way but I'm glad he hit a tree and not an innocent person. I'm all for doing stupid stuff. Its your life and no one can tell you what to risk or not, just so long as you are only going to endanger yourself.

Still sucks. I've been speeding more then I was supposed to before. As Ive gotten older i have def. gotten more like a grandpa

That is horrible for any parent to have to bury their children.

I know evo owners are the best drivers. We don't know what actually happened so please avoid making insensitive comments. It can just be a spirited driving and another vehicle cross to the fast lane without looking in their mirrors. He probably swerved to the middle to avoid that car. Must be the one being interviewed in the report?

Wow thats really sad.

- I personally dislike bystanders because people have swore I have been 'blasting through' the parking lot at my office when im going 20mph. Fast is a very subjective term that really is not fair to the memory of someone in a case this tragic.
