it's in bhr too. a friend of mine drove past the accident scene. i wonder how fast he was going.

 

[mustang50v8]

that is disturbing and horrible. i cant imagine how fast you have to be going in order to rip a mustang in half.

i feel bad for the family's of the victims. but if any good comes of this it is that it will serve as a grave reminder of can happen if people street race, and other lives can be saved.


EDIT: quote from the news report "Witnesses report seeing the car street racing with a Dodge Neon. Police are now interviewing the driver of that car to find out what actually happened........According to Harhigh's family, Mark had owned the car just two days."

kid gets mach 1 purchased for him by his parents. tells his buddy who drives a SRT-4 "dude my car will whip your ass" they go out cause every douche in a SRT-4 will never turn down a chance to "fast and furious" it up to american muscle of any kind, especially a mustang.

omg this is horrible......
be safe out there guys.

Completely unfamilair 2 day old car + street racing = Bad outcome

I know I'm just stating the obvious......... But, sounds like he had it coming. Those are the actions of a child. Someone his age has enough common sense to know the possible consequences, he just chose to ignore them.

I feel bad for the girl who died and her family.......shame she put herself in that car with that guy.

I already called dibs on gauges in the BHR, poor dude died to smoke a turd neon.

SIGH, damn bro I thought that was you, I just glanced at the thread title and said oh ****. That is horrible, I would think it's pretty hard to rip a car in half. Honestly, I know most people will say that they were mature enough as beginning drivers to drive a V8 mustang, but i'm really glad that I didnt have my car at 16 or 17, I loved speed waaayyyy too much, and had too little control. Now things are much different of course. I just hope this will show at least one kid out there what could happen.

Man , what a waste of 2 lives and a beautiful car.

 

[fudleyd]

That is just plain sickening...such a waste of life. EPIK I thought it was you at first as well...glad it wasn't!

 

[BEASTang96]

well.....at least there might be a motor available pretty cheap.....ok, I know that was pretty sick. no hate mail please!!

 

[CENTENNIALSTANG]

well.....at least there might be a motor available pretty cheap.....ok, I know that was pretty sick. no hate mail please!!

well everyone in the bhr has lots of sympathy. Its a tragedy but he was street racing and thats the risk in it, i wouldnt expect much sympathy if i was in his situation. At least he didnt kill anyone.

i hope this is a lesson to all

 

[281CI96Coupe]

Man it hurts to see those pics....it looked like a beautiful well taken care of Mach as well. I can't even imagine what his parents are going through right now.

 

[Mossberg]

That will buff right out.



Take it to the track.




Or at least learn how to drive the car you are racing for longer than two days.

 

[ToplessStang]

Very sad .

I wonder if some of these things could be avoided if race tracks were more accessible to young people in cities and towns. I mean we have a track about 25 mins away that is open 5 days a week. On Tuesday nights you race all night for $5. When you leave there, you've pretty much had your racing fill.

I'm no longer a "young lad" so I don't have that temptation to race every car that challenges me at a stop light but I remember being 20 and having trouble turning down those challenges.

Fast forward to today, ask my 4 year old son where do you drive the Mustang fast and he'll quickly answer you "Only at the track". I figure I'd brain wash it into him young.

Would more race tracks be a solution to these tragic events? Would these kids have taken their cars there instead? I wonder.

My prayers go out to the families.
