RIP Jonathan Manuel (Filpino7)

http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=52269



He was one of our most careful drivers which is why this came as a shock. The roads were wet this morning and visibility was very poor because of dense fog. On behalf of the East TN RX-7's, we'll miss seeing you at the meets and hanging out.

Damn, a fellow TN rotorhead gone. RIP.

Was he at DGRR 2K6 or 2K7? I think I've met him.

Nah, he just got his car two or three months ago. I think he was looking forward to next year's DGRR though. We took him up to Deal's Gap last month when I took that picture.

I dont even want to think about what his car looks like now..
it was one of the cleanest 7's ive seen.. and.. just that he is gone is bad enough.
He was going to lend a hand in on wide body project..
So, I DONT want any damn pics.. and I dont want to see the shape his car is in now..
just.. no..

I seen the news report and they showed the back of the car . It looked like the front of the car was sitting on the ground.
