It is a mustang mach 1. My buddy was good friends with his brother, he got the car two days prior to this crash. He also told me he was racing a black neon. EDIT: Didn’t realize everything was said on the last few pages. Disregard ---

> [@StairSRT4](#): > > I do not think i’m an attorney by any means but working as a legal assistant for a few years…you learn alot about the laws and what holds up in court and what doesn’t. The whole point of having a forum is for people to have a network to rely on wether it be car related advice (which is the intent of nyspeed) or off-topic. You are saying don’t listen to anyone on here regarding legal advice when everyone is intitled to an opinion. You think only yours matters. IMO I have never given bad advice on here and have actually helped out alot of NYSpeeders with legal problems. maybe politics is your thing since you obviously keep up with it and do your research. Well I keep up on the laws and do my research on court cases so like I said before…let whoever reads the “advice” decide wether its good or bad. And for the record it was not me involved last night. What I’m saying is putting up a poll on a car site where maybe .5% of the members are qualified to answer the legal question is fine for a speeding ticket, but probably not a good idea with something as serious as this. You’re right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and unfortunately when a site full of people who aren’t attorneys start giving their legal opinions you get a lot of bad advice. I have my own opinions as to the legal liability faced by the neon driver, but because I don’t know I haven’t given that opinion. After seeing several members who I know have no clue how the law works start offering real legal advice, coupled with the suspicion that the neon driver might very well be reading the thread, I suggested appropriately that they seek professional legal counsel. ---

You can’t see the difference between “go talk to a lawyer before you get horrible advice from an nyspeed wannabe lawyer” and actual legal advice like, “you wouldn’t be in the wrong, just claim you weren’t racing” or “just hide and hope the cops never find you”. > > In PM’s someone mentioned you had a black neon and we both said you were probably smarter than that.

They left my friend Rachel and john house right before 10:30. They live right near Zorbas. Mel dies on impact. They hit a telephone pole in front of Andersons. Mark died @ 6:57am. Is head was selling way to bad so they drilled a hole in his skull but the blood clot could not be stopped from bleeding in his brain. This couple were great friends of mine. This has been very roung for me and Krazy K(kory) all day. Me and him were sitting there looking @ the scene saying it just is not right how it happened. Something seemed fishy. We made some phone calls to some srt-4 owners and found one to be a lil fishy. So we went to where the kid was @ around 3:15pm today and he was shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds. Kid had a huuuuge guilty look on his face. Now why would this kid leave the scene? Well after some talking to the kid he admitted racing him. Wouldent say anything else though. Kid drives a Blue neon SRT-4. I caled the cops asap and they were there within 5-min. Cops were taking him to his house to look @ his car…we were all wondering why it was not with him @ his buddies house:snky: Mark is not a person who is into racing really. Hes a very cautions person thats why i find it hard to believe this happened.Im thinking the kid somehow hit him when they were racing. Shit we couldent even get mark to do a small burnout in the rental car when i was in St.Marten with him back in Feb. Shitty thing is he just traded his Chevy blazer in for this 03 Mach 1 i believe tue or wed. His first stick car. I hope this clears up some confusion. R.I.P Mark and Mel you will be missed buddy ill never forget the great time i had with you two! ---

If there is any paint on that SRT4, there is a good chance he’d be in jail. This isn’t FNF:TD, you can’t hit people because you’re losing a race. ---
