WOW Manny, thats terrible news..... My prayers are with his family, RIP brother.....
That .8 looked mint....

Also pray for the victims on the other car, hope the baby pulls thru

yep its really hard to belive , we just spoke a couple of weeks ago... i really hope the other victims pull thru :icon_tup: :icon_tup: :icon_tup:

no esta facil...

sad news. freddy was seriously talented..

Que descanse en paz. Really sorry to hear that. One of the great old school tuners.

condolences

for those that dont know him....
He had one arm only and unreal talent with that only arm.
He also drove manual cars with one arm by holding the steering wheel with his knee as he shifted gears..

Off the hook!!!!!

OMG
This is so sad. :(
I can't believe this shit! I just got the news.
RIP Freddy.
We just lost another talented individual! :(

sounds like a good guy, sorry to hear

Diablo, back home too! That sucks to hear.Def. a tragedy.

i heard the people he hit were infact his wife and kid, is this true?

The report said he was ejected from the car. Don't know the rest of the details, but it looks like it could have been survivable if he'd been properly restrained. What a shame for all involved.

A seatbelt won't help much if you're in a caged car with no helmet. It only takes a small bump to the head to kill ya.

My buddies supra has a 6 point, and I almost got knocked out cold just from him not knowing how to slip a clutch :(

My prayers go out to the family that was hit. I'm sure he was a valuable person in the rotary community but it doesn't negate the fact that he could have possibly killed/murdered an infant by wrecklessly driving on the street while tuning a car.

Just an incredibly stupid and totally avoidable accident.

no matter how it happened,it did.Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.......another sad loss.The Vineland boys miss you bro.Esperame en en cielo pa' que tunees mi carro. RIP


Gafu

the people that where hit were the car owners family .....







:scratch: easy there cowboy , no need for the insults :icon_no2: :icon_tdow we all feel the pain of anyone that gets in this type of situation . but shit like this happens all the time , yes we have all done it one time or another taken a car around the block and mashed on the gas to show the owner that the car is good to go , or just feel that rush that we all love so much .
sadlly the car broke loose and injured the owners family :wallbash: yes it could have been avoided and its a bad lesson to learn from a lesson that took his life and injured others but whats done is done , all we can do know is pray for the families and learn from this terrible accident that can happen to anyone in a blink of an eye :icon_tdow how do you think the owner feels sitting by his childs side thinking to himself i took my fam to see my car and its almost costing them their life , i would hate to be in that type of situation . but i guess you have never mashed on your accelarator or went past the legal speed limit or even not stoped fully @ a stop sign, "he who is free from sin cast the stone" :icon_no2:

Exactly!

I didn't insult him, in fact I put it extremely politely. Put yourself in the shoes of the parent of a child that was in the same situation and you'd be out for blood. I have kids and I know I would be.

Well said Manny....

Think about that the next time you step on the pedal on public roads
Don't say you never broke the law, we all have done it one time or another... Unfortunately for this guy, he wasn't as lucky as us :sad:

This could have happened to anyone of us

:scratch: if this aint insulting then what the hell is :Wconfused

i am a father and i am also taking care of 5 nieces and nephews , ive been involved in racing since i was born, i would never put my kids on a uncontrolled race enviorment :icon_tdow , dont forget the parents of that child are the owners of the car , and my argument is not even about the child ,god bless his soul and speedy recovery , its about you coming to my thread to talking shit about my friends mistake that caused him his life :wallbash: so just fuck off :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :scratch:

by the way i was being polite , i can help it iam just a dumb ass spick from the bronx , mama bicho :icon_tup:

update on the baby.......he passed away Tuesday,not Wed. as some papers say.RIP to both

+1 manny...


RIP in peace and prayers go out to both families and friends involved!!! this fucking sucks...

damn sorry to hear that , so when i called you you said you were in a funeral i didnt know it was el manco's
