A couple of you personally know me, and have seen my buddy with the Lighter blue colored BMW M3. Early this morning (around 3 am) Bobby (M3 Owner) and another friend of mine (Scott) died in that car. They were on their way home from indiana, and the car went airborne somehow and the car exploaded. No one was there to know what happened. I took Scotts brother, who is a year younger then me to see the car his brother died in. It was like 2 minutes from his house sitting in a towing yard. I don't think i've ever had a drive that long that was that close. Seeing him react to something like that is always going to be with me. You really start to think about the things you do after something like this happens. I've read stories from the same point of view you guys are all reading mine from right now. It didn't entirely phase me, now, ill always completely understand how those people feel. Just becareful out there this summer. I know a lot of us like to go out and street race. I am just quiting before im getting started though. A couple things on the car will be forsale shortly when i figure out what im going to do with everything. Be safe guys...

Very sad information and I'm sorry for everyones loss. Driving is no joke and terrible things can happen while driving. So many variables to take into consideration while driving and any one of them can result in horrible results. Man, all I can say use common sense always drive defensively.

I feel for you Mike. My best friend died in a bad accident 5 years ago this July 7th. It put another one of our friends in a coma for 3 months. Like said above only time heals these wounds. It's a very "sobering" expirience that I would wish upon no one.
