Sad to see this happen, especially when alcohol is involved...And when others get hurt just makes me

Yeah, too much drunk driving for sure. I try to convince people how much cheaper a cab is. And I'm not discounting the loss of human life, but when trying to reason with a drunk, it's like do you want to spend the night in jail, have a several thousand dollar legal bill, possibley have your car totaled, or maybe die. Or, call Yellow Cab or whoever and pay $20 to sleep in your own bed.

Another sad thing has come out. Driving while high accidents are on the rise too. It's mostly from weed and not other drugs. I don't have the exacts in front of me. But they said if the trend continues that in a few years(can't remember how many they said) that drug related traffic accidents will be a greater number than alcohol related accidents, and I personally don't interpret that as the drunks quitting drunk driving.

Very Bad Camaro Crash Last Night

Left a late night tuning session with Matt from FSP and had to drive through parking lots to get around this at 3am.

At the time I couldn't tell what kind of car it was. Report said the speedo was stuck on 95 and the Camaro driver was life flighted out.

My first new car was demolished by a drunk driver. This is truly a sad situation. The cabin of the VW looks intact. I wonder if the VW driver was wearing a seat belt or was it neck injuries causing his death.

Too many terrible accidents happening lately. This is truly sad & these deaths were so preventable. Please everyone use your seatbelts, save speed for the track & don't drink & drive.
