Tonight's top story on the news featured a tragic street race that left a 44y.o man dead. Apparently, a nissan 300zx was racing another car (who fled) when the Z struck a man riding his bike to work. The speed is estimated at 100 and the man was killed instantly. The amount of damage done to the car was incredible, even the sherrif being interviewed was teary eyed. Also, they showed the Z owner being taken away in police custody, and being charged with vehicular manslaughter. Guy'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
Also, the only funny part was when the cop described the other car they were looking for. He said, "We're looking for the driver of a Black Honda Civic. It has tinted windows, chrome rims, and a modified exhuast system." Then the cop said of the civic driver, "You're not a suspect, we just want to talk to you about what happened." Yeah right, this guy better hide out for a while. "Not a suspect," give me a break. This guy was participating in an ILLEGAL street race, in which a man was killed, then FLED THE SCENE. I'm sure the cops just want to talk...
Please, be careful out there guys. You can be the safest driver in the world, but all it takes is one stupid decision, and your life could be over. Thanks for reading.

Very Tragic. But I wonder if they'll find the kid. I mean if some one asked me if I saw a black civic with tinted windows, chrome rims, and a
modified exhuast system, I would have to say yes, about 4 of them in the last 10 minutes. They all drove like morons.
This guy won't spend the rest of his life in jail. What is the maximum sentence for manslaughter, 12 years? The problem is, I bet the dumb who was in the honda probably was way behind (getting his a** handed to him) and saw the whole thing happen and will go home and talk about how he beat a 300Z.
He'll most likely not realize the impact he's had on many people's lives!.
But so is the ricer tradition....
