What a frickin' idiot... "tell them you cut me off". And then get pummeled with increased insurance rates and liable for all physical and mental damages to the other person for their own ignorance? YEAH RIGHT!

No one forced that guy to race and when you do you have to live by the saying "You play, you pay". If you don't know the limits of your driving skills and the capability of the vehicle, you have no one to blame but yourself. Period.

End of rant.

It usually takes two fools to make a street race. I know, because I've done it myself.

I'm not saying it is S2SaV's fault that the guy couldn't handle his vehicle around a corner. What I fault him for is his reaction after the fact. I'm sorry, but if you are racing someone and see them flip their car and DIE, I bet you would feel a lot differently. This isn't a Ho-Hum, he died, not my fault. It's not a great day, any day, someone gets into an accident that could have killed himself.

I'm sure if you tempted someone to race and they died as a result, it would weight heavily on your conscience.

The kid provoked me. I just wanted to do some yoga ! Either way, I know it is stupid for saying that it was a great way to start a day; my apologies if it offended anyone. Remember everyone, I was long gone before he crashed so I had nothing to do with it. Hell, I have witnesses. Anyways, much thanks to the people who are sticking up for me. Check ya out on the highway! Latez!

The guy in the truck instigated, S2Sav didn't goad him into anything. He thought he was the sh*t and took his truck to where he shouldn't have been going.

Sure if I was racing someone and they crashed and burned, I would feel bad, but everyone in this country has a free mind and will. If I raced someone and got busted by the
police for racing, I couldn't blame the other guy because he made me race. C'mon, it was up to me not to, and I chose to do it. Sure the other driver was involved, but what am I gonna say... "Officer, he made me do it, I didn't really want to but he made me" No way, I get my liscence revoked and get my car impounded and its because of what I did and not because of anyone else. So... Now if I crash I can blame it on the other guy? How does that make sense? Because something terrible happened, now its the other guys fault?

he said to, "Tell them you cut me off!" (I guess them would be the cops)
What the heck??? I would have calmly walked to him, broke his neck and hoped forensics ruled death was resulted from the accident.

i think is not s2sav fault,

my cuz has a 95 supraTT, automatic tho, like every time i see him he want to race me. so one day we where playing football at a park and he had his car and i happen to have my s2k that day. He was asking me to race him and I said no cause the road was a little wet, so he start calling me chicken shit, my s2k has no balls, and i pay to much for a little engine. So i got mad and said F-U lets do this, so we both line up, at one end of the park and we had someone drop the flag for us. I rev to about 2k and drop it, cause it was wet and i didn't feel like fish tailing. so 1st gear i had a half car lenght on him then 2nd i had a full car lenght and then it happen when i was in 3rd i look back in the rear view and saw him jump the snow bank into a stop sign. So was that a result of my fault for his crash. later! see you on the road
