thats a shame on 2 different areas

1. 22....thats way to young....im only 24 so that is just crazy

2. it was a G8. people think im crazy but i really like that car

[NastyEllEssWon]

Not funny lol......

Why is that people feel the need to act like he deserves it for going that fast? Members on this board break 100mph all the time this can happen to alot of us.

RIP Shaun

no one is saying that, its just the fact that if you are going those speeds you accept the responsibility and consequences that come with going that speed. you can expect to keep sticking your hand in the snake cage without getting bit one time. the fact that he accepted the responsibility and consequence that comes with going that fast and paid the price for it why some dont feel bad for him.

Eh seems like the people who lack empathy are the ones who have their noses high as if they've never broken the speed limit. Regardless of how fast he was going it's still sad that he lost his life. Sucks to die so young.

i feel more empathy for the family and loved ones in this situations beings it seems that he was out driving while emotional over the loss of his brother to cancer. seemed he died doing what he loved in the car he loved....we should all be so lucky

[maroman88]

sucks

[Frosty]

I only skimmed over the article and didn't read any threads on the other boards but do you guys think this may have been suicide? That looked a bit deliberate didn't it?

If you are breaking "100mph all the time" you are doing it wrong. The way you put it makes it sounds like a regular occurrence. Maybe I read that wrong. I certainly don't. I'm not saying I never have, I did all sorts of stupid **** when I was a kid that in retrospect I realize was totally stupid.

It does suck. I feel bad for his family. It's very sad. But based on his cool little “look at me I do 160” and that he launched a 4000 pound car onto the roof of a commercial building (so 25’+ in the air?) tells me we are just lucky he didn’t kill anyone else in his apparent childish escapades. Posting your car at 160 - really 160? What track did he take a G8 on to get to 160?

It’s not holier than thou…it’s anger towards this kid’s apparent blatant disregard for the safety of himself and more importantly others. I have trouble mustering anywhere near the sympathy for him that I have for his family.

Put it this way. If he died playing Russian roulette with a gun you’d all probably say he had it coming. IMO it seems he did that here.

[WildBillyT]

I'll put it another way. It was a "loaded accident" in that the faster you go, it's like putting more bullets in the gun while playing russian roulette.
