i feel bad, but if he wasnt driving like an asshole, i bet this would have never happened
Like everyone else here hasn't done something stupid! Why must there be retarded comments like this? :rolleyes:

[Inkdcountryboy]

wow sorry to hear....way to young to have something happened he had his whole life ahead of him

[jclose11]

Right on Lou we all have done crazy things behind the wheel!! Most of us are lucky enough to have gotten away with it! Sounds like his luck just ran out today could of be anyone of us!

X2. It's scary to think of some of the close calls.

Like everyone else here hasn't done something stupid! Why must there be retarded comments like this? :rolleyes:

I know I've done my fair share of stupid things in the past and looking back, I'm amazed how lucky I've been.

Shame to hear, must be horrible for the kid's family. :frown:

[RMB427R]

That's horrible news. 17 is just too young to die..

[Troll]

WOW. Sorry to hear. RIP Joey.

Chad, thanks for "posting like an asshole".

The kid got killed doing shit we do everyday. STFU!

[Shorty429]

extremely sad to hear...my mom was complaining just the other day about me burnin out when i turn out of our driveway. Stuff like this makes you think twice.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

very sad.... this is just an example of why i've changed my driving habits. to much to live for, it just isn't worth it.

[billyNOTnice]

I hate seeing things like this.. mainly because i know i don't set a very good example when i'm in my own car....

[97LaserRed]

wow! this is terrible. it reminds me of this....

If you guys caught the link early, theyve added some stuff since then, theres a couple vids on there too.

Thanks for posting that vid, brian....that is crazy stuff there.

I will be the first to admit that Ive done way to many stupid things when i get in my car.....its all fun and hilarious till something like this happens.....definitely gonna change the way i drive from now on....like it was stated before...its not worth it.

RIP Joe.

[Koild Up]

I do have to agree alot of us have had some close calls. I was being dumb one night here and decided to wind out my 03 Cobra on a smooth straight streach of road. I had just pulled 4th gear doin close to 100 when a car crossed the road ahead of me. I had to swerve left of center in the intersection at about 80 and missed the crossing car by about 2 feet or less. I was stupid. I am lucky. I dont pull that crap anymore.

[Viper_ed]

:nono:

[Twin01cobra]

i feel bad, but if he wasnt driving like an asshole, i bet this would have never happened

Like anyone who has ever drove a car did'nt do stupid sh*t:rolleyes:, 17 is way to young, very sad.

[paul44224]

Here in Ohio, 2 kids were killed in Grafton " high rate of speed, lost control, hit a tree." I really feel for the families. I lost my 17 year old same way 11 years ago.

[94svtcobra]

sry for your loss paul

Thats terrible man. Im sorry for your loss.

[MBH]

Like everyone else here hasn't done something stupid! Why must there be retarded comments like this? :rolleyes:
I was going to say it, but Troll beat me to it. This is terrible news, and its a good reminder that even seemingly harmless things like a burnout can go wrong in a big way. Be careful guys!

WOW. Sorry to hear. RIP Joey.

Hypocrites ftmfw.

Paul, I'm terribly sorry to hear your loss

[RUSH2112]

Truly a sad loss. I don't understand how it happened, but it was a needless accident that should have been avoided. Makes me think twice about how much I really appreciate life and my car.

[94svtcobra]

I just can't believe he was goin fast enough to be killed, I very familiar with that road, and the distance he traveled was maybe a few 100 feet

[RUSH2112]

Excactly why I don't understand. If you pull out of a lot and do a burnout, there has to be some point where you say "Woah, its getting out of control..." and let up on the gas.

[John4cam]

Sad to see, and even worse when it's a young kid.

[Stangman701]

I just can't believe he was goin fast enough to be killed, I very familiar with that road, and the distance he traveled was maybe a few 100 feet

I don't really know the area, but I was thinking the same thing too. Must have just hit the wall at a bad angle. My little brother is 17 and just got a mustang, really makes me worry about him.

[o4c0b|2a]

Well not saying a seatbelt would have saved him, but he wasn't wearing one. If I'm messing around in my car or not, I always wear it. As said it only takes one time. Most of us on here probably got away with it more than a dozen times. Some are not so lucky. Sorry to hear it.

[street591]

thats ashame, being 17 myself really puts it into perspective of how easy everything can be gone. I have had close calls doing stupid stuff only to get somewhere a few minutes faster or for a few mintues of fun. Really makes ya think twice now

[Jper]

i feel bad, but if he wasnt driving like an asshole, i bet this would have never happened
Dude your such a ****ing asshole...Keep your comments like this to pittspeed where all the other clowns are:upyours:

[vitaleffects626]

pittspeed went to shit

[SUPERDUTY]

It sucks living here in elizabeth and going to school and having 4 people killed while I was in school due to car wrecks was bad. I know exactly how these students feel. I havwe seen him driving his 5.0 around town alot this was not the first time he was goofin off in that car. I have been behind him in the h1 before flippin out cause tire rubber was hittin my front end. It sucks he didn't get another chance. But he has cheated it before until now from what I saw.

[sweeney1030]

I drive like a nut too, we all do . I lost a few friends as we all have thats why I installed a six point with door bars and a five point harness. Its a shame what happened to the kid , these cars, our cars are not built to withstand any crash at speed ; they get there quick and they are fast but they are factory built commuters, my parents never wanted me to get a small v-8 car ,my first ride was a 70 buick GS , when I bought it I didnt tell them it was a 455 stage 1 . I split that car in half against a jersy barrier and walked away (big heavy car). My only question is WHAT are parents thinking will happen when they put there 17 year old kids into a car thats able to do 150 mph ? sorry to hear he paid the price way to young- RIP

[madmaxin22]

im sure the parents are the ones hurting the most. Its a joke nowadays with parents letting their new to driving kids drive cars that are timebombs when in the hands of someone who can't control themselves. Sucks to hear but on the other hand i dont feel bad for the darwin award winners and feeling bad for every stupid kid out there that becomes a statistic is getting old. I feel for the family and friends more than the victim.

[blkp42e]

After thinking more, i revoke my comment. it was asshole and i should have kept how i felt to myself.

Aye, we have all put our foot in our mouths at won time or another...Lord knows I have.:thmbsup:

Wake up call much?

[2001GTTT]

Wake up call much?


take it easy....he said he didnt mean it....

[frankstang]

Young kids and powerful cars don't mix.
Back when my son was starting to drive I owned a real nasty(fast), '79 Firebird. It was basically a gutted street legal drag car. He wanted to use that car in the worst way but I couldn't in good sense let him. Either he or someone else would have been hurt.

I always hear people say, "you can kill yourself in a slow car too". True, but your recovery time is so limited if you make a mistake in a fast car. Couple that with inexperience and showing off and bad things are bound to happen.

All I can say is RIP.

[Shorty429]

My only question is WHAT are parents thinking will happen when they put there 17 year old kids into a car thats able to do 150 mph ?

Sounds crazy but I'm 17 and have been driving since the day i turned 16 1/2 and my first car was a decently modded 1998 GT but i completely agree. The only difference between myself and others that are not so fortunate is that my parents get on me for the stupid sh!t i do. 3 months after i had my license they took the keys and made me walk/ride my peddle bike everywhere because i was driving like an a$$hole. 2 months after riding/walking to work everyday during the summer taught me a huge lesson. And when they finally gave me back the keys, my dad sat down and taught me how to recover from being out of control. I'm so thankfull that he did that becuase i probably would have ended up like the young man this thread is about. So a big thanks to my dad. And godbless the family and friends of him. R.I.P.

[94svtcobra]

x2 shorty, my 1st car was my 94 cobra, and granted I have done some really stupid things before, I have def learned my lesson. also my parents threatend to sell it when I got pulled over the second time. it truely is a shame that something as simple as doing a burnout could turn into such a terrible thing

[92306gt]

I hate seeing things like this.. mainly because i know i don't set a very good example when i'm in my own car....
x2^^^^

[sweeney1030]

how did this happen ,doing a burnout? what did he hit?

[94svtcobra]

did a burnout leaving school lost control and hit a wall

[no1fordgirl]

Very sad :(

Jper, this isn't the thread for that kind of BS. Take it to PM if you want to tell blkp42e what you think of him, but keep that kind of stuff out of this thread.

[blkp42e]

edited by killercanary

I deleted Jper's response and thus your's too. If you guys have a problem with each other take it to PM's because as you said in your response I deleted, this isn't the thread for it.

[fordandmopar21]

I totally agree shorty. Im 16 and have had my license for a couple months now and ive learned my lesson already. It really gets you scared and thinking whenever you come around a bend and spin out half throttle. Even though ive been driving legally and illegally for about 3 years ive spun out once or twice already and it makes you think before you dump the clutch and turn the wheel again. My car is stock and it scares me with how much power it has and how bad i could get hurt. Im so fortunate that this wasnt me on the news and i try to calm down as much as i can until i get some more expirience under my belt.

[howardr8952]

anyone know what car it was? was it a blue notchback foxbody?i heard about this on the news very sad

[casey429]

Joey was a very good friend of mine and I am deeply affected by his death. We were friends since first grade and I am now a senior at EF. I must say, had someone else been in that car that this tragedy probably wouldn't have happened. I rode with Joey in that car twice and he was a different driver with passengers. Don't get me wrong, we goofed around a little bit out on open highway, but within reasonable limits. The reason he did not have a belt on was that the ones in the car didn't work. As much as I hate to say it, I don't think he would've worn it anyway. I told him I would't ride with him again until he got belts. I was right there in the parking lot when it happened and one of the first on the scene. I still play it in my mind and it gets to me. His dad and i were talking at the funeral home and he even said that that car wasn't running at its full potential, with the timing turned way down. He also said that it took two weeks of stalling before he let Joey drive the car, due to its lack of belts. I'm not too worried anymore, but from what Joey told me, that car was destined to be a quarter mile warrior before he got it. Originally a 4 cyl, Joey's '89 LX Notch had a very stout 302 with Trick Flow heads and intake, some sort of absolutely huge cam, BBK headers, custom exhaust, suspension and rear end out of a '97 GT and a 5-speed with Centerforce clutch. A very hairy ride in deed. My prayers are with Joey and his family and I'll miss him for sure.


Ride on, buddy. R.I.P.

[2001GTTT]

thats so terrible....Im so sorry for your loss man. Are you gonna be at this cruise thats set up for him on saturday? I know some of us are gonna try and make it out.

[casey429]

I'm definitley going to try. I have to talk to Shane and Mitch to find out the exact details, but right now it looks good.

[SUPERDUTY]

where did he buy that car from? I think I knowthe original owner from when it was a 4 banger and the guy who threw the 302 in it

Very sad story, RIP.
I would not want to be the father knowing he let his son drive a car w/o seatbelts which ultimately led to his death.
