Default An important reminder, please read.

I just wanted to tell all my fellow Audi enthusiast to drive more careful. This last year has been a tragic year for me, I have lost 3 good friends in car accidents due to recless driving. The first accident killed 2 16 year old girls that were speeding and lost control and hit a telephone pole. It was horrible. These were extremely nice and caring girls that had so much of a future.

Just recently a few days ago 2 of my real good friends were traveling at a high rate of speed in a new Mustang GT. The driver(a extremely close friend I have grown up with)lost control and flipped the car off the freeway in a ravine down by King City. His best friend was the passenger and the passenger side collapsed and he was killed. The driver survived unharmed physically but this will affect him forever. He killed his best friend and was covered in his best friends blood. He died at 18 years of age. I went to the funeral and it was horrible and so devistating. My good friend that died recieved the letter to the US Naval Acadamy and the acceptence on the day of the crash. Life is so fragile. We are all trying to make our cars handle better and drive faster. Just be careful and think about it when you think of taking a dangerous turn or go for a high speed blast. This is extremely dangerous. Many of us drive aggresively and we really do forget about reality. I just want you guys to think about what it would be like to kill your best friend or someone in your family. My friend Jordan is changed for life now that he killed his best friend. Imagine what it is like for him to wake up in the morning. He was just in his new Mustang, they were coming back up from Santa Barbara at 5:00 am he decided to see what his car can do(like so many of us). We all just need to think about our actions and the irreversible repercusions they can cause.

Default We're all guilty of pushing our cars at one time or the other...

It unfortunately takes things like this to make us realize that we're human and that life is fragile.

Default Sorry to hear about that.

This is a tradgedy. You have made some good points in your post. I know how you feel. I watched 4 friends die in a 6 month period due to Recless riding on Motorcycle's.

I agree.. Lets take it to the track.
