The names were taken out for privacy. This is why you shouldnt street race. I know I have been asking around about SC and stuff to make my car go faster, but this has really touched me am reconsidering the use of my car. What right do I have to put other lives in danger just to have some personal fun? God, this not only scared me but really made me sad.

peron1: and these white boys in a mustang were "racing" and messin with her

Thank You

 

That's absolutely terrible how the irresponsibility of a couple of people cost an innocent victim, with her whole life ahead her life. I just don't understand why some people have no sense. I don't condone street racing, but if you must get it out of your system, at least have some sense to do it in a safe location when there is zero traffic. When I see people occassionally street racing on the busy streets during the day and night, it sometimes makes me wonder...........

 

That is a sad story. I guess we shouldn't street race. Too many people die everyday on the streets and it is all due to street racing. No one ever died because they fell alseep, puttining on make up, shaving, reading, changing stations on the radio, drunk, drugs, looking at some hot girls, talking on the cell phone, looking at the scenery, driving on snow or ice, etc.

 

10 wrongs don't make a right

Yes, street racing is stupid!

 

Actually easter island, lots of people die from crashes related to people talking on the cell phone, falling asleep, putting on makeup, etc.....


In fact, there was a huge wreck where a dumb lady right here was so busy on her cell phone, that she didn't see a stop sign and got t-boned by a big yellow school bus. Yes, she was pronounced dead at the seen of the accident, and yes they had to pull her out of the wreckage in pieces. Driving down to work or school every morning during rush hour will show you that these people at times are even worse than illegal street racer punks.

 

Next time I'm traveling 71 mph in a 70 mph zone I'll remember that. I'm putting lives in danger because of my reckless abandon.

The way I see it there are only a few of reasons why someone would purchase a Ford Lightning.
1. collector
2. they are a redneck at heart
3. they want the fastest truck available so they can kick butt on the street or track

I think that most Lightning owners fall into the 3rd catagory with the majority of those wanting a quick street racing machine.

 

I believe the problem here, is the level of maturity. For instance, most of us on this board thankfully, has common sense to know not to race when there are people around, or around dangerous intersection or streets. The problem, are these kids who generally street race anywhere and everywhere they can possibly do it. Taking a highway romp on a completely empty straight highway is a lot difference than racing through the heart of the city doing crap you saw on the Fast and the Furious.

 

yeah no chit!!! its like street racing is the number one killer on the streets..... Honestly I dont race on busy streets during the day... that is dumb.. come night time though... I am at the local streetracing spot tryin to get my fair share of money!!!!

 

Sounds like she was racing and messing with them white boys.
I read she just turned 17 on July 3rd, that's a shame.

 

its a real shame that happened to her, whats even a bigger shame is that easterisland is kind of making a joke of the whole thing and that like 250 people read this topic and only a handful added to it. july 3rd? hmm, my ex gf's birthday too. Mike

 

Sorry to hear that. My condolenses to her family.

 

Yes, Thats very true SLP 97 Camaro SS GUY, please add something. I want to give this to her boyfriend, sort of like a card to show that people out here care...

Thanks A Lot

 

My condolenses to her family, friends, and boyfriend. I didnt know her but i read the last few posts she made and she seemed like a very nice person and she was a very pretty girl. Reading what happened to her really touched me and i think my street racing days are over, if i wanna race i can go to Raceway Park in Englishtown. God Bless. Mike

 

That story is very very sad. I saw one real bad wreck from street racing. I looked at it in a very different way since then. People who street race don't reralize what kind of damage to property, people, and lives of others could be done. Just be responsible and pay the small fee to race at your local track in relative safety.

 

People who street race when other vehicles are around are total idiots. People who street race when noone is around are still foolish as hell.
