todd95GT:
I read your first post and didn't have time to reply due to all the internet traffic on the terrorist attack. I see now that the guy didn't make it. I'm sorry to hear that.
What a truly senseless waste of life.
Driving a powerful, RWD Mustang is not as simple as just 'flooring it' all the time.
To get on it in the rain is just insane, especially after he almost lost it in the previous gearshifts. The man was stupid (maybe high/drunk - who knows?) and he paid for that stupidity with his life. Sad.
Nothing else to say except that I hope we'll all take this to heart and realize that our 'Stangs aren't just a toy to play with. One wrong move and any of us could end up like that guy...and yes, it could happen to you...or to me No one here is immortal and 'luck' won't save you if you keep pushing it.
That's for the grim reminder. You did us a favor. Hope you get past this loss yourself, as I know it must be a lot harder to deal with when you see it up close, rather than just read about it on a messageboard.
Take care.
