I know that a kid just died (i used not for nothing to “soften the blow”) however lots of people in this forum are within that same age and drive way over the speed limit as well… Again, it could of happened to anyone. It sucks, but dont talk about making a stupid decision because im sure you will drive fast this summer as will 90% of others on this forum… I know I will. ---

Baumbauer, sorry for your loss man. Slowgto, losing control of your car speeding is a little different than your friends situation. We get the point, hence why I haven’t brought up your buddy again out of respect for my friends that knew him. ---
