Rx-7 fatality in Orlando over break?

I know a kid that is going to UCF and a Paramedic and he said that over Thanksgiving break an Rx-7 was going 120 onto an offramp, the driver lost control flipped 10 times, and that the driver was thrown from the car and killed? I hope this story isn't true. If hes joking I'll kick his ***, but he said he wasn't. Just wanted to make sure that every 7 owner is ok. Tell me if you've heard anything.

Taking the information at face value since you're not even sure if it's validity, I'd have to say the kid was an idiot IF that story was true. Am I sorry IF he died, yeah, but would still think he was an idiot for doing 120mph on an offramp.

If it was Rey's car and after reading his post, glad he's okay but man that car got f*cked up. Wow that was some damage to the entire car.

Ouch. At least he survived

The Volks still look salvageable too if he replaces the lip(s)!

You guys sound like a bunch of Gossiping hussies at the beauty salon.. FDRey was going a 1/4 of that speed on a one way medianed road. Rey and his girl were not even scratched. Yes the car rolled onto its hood at the very end. You can see in the pics how much of a tin can these cars are! This particular story has no bearing and is probably untrue. If not it is definately another incident. End of story. Bottom line becareful out there! G

No it wasn't reys accident he told me. He's a paramedic and he went on the call where the Rx-7 owner died, but apparently he was lying so I'm gonna woop his ***. Might be a little hard though because hes 6'4 300 lbs, and that 300lbs aint fat.

I have a daily driver in Orlando for awhile, probably until after Christmas break. I'll still make it to the next car meet tho. What mazda meet was there?
