    How life is really to short.

    Man what a pass two days it has been for me. Yesterday I go to a good bud of mine Daniel , I went to fix his A/C system around 3pm-4pm. I bs with him and friends for a while and got paid. We handed him some passes to a reopen race track here in town, to hand out at his race shop.give our handshakes and say are goodbyes and takes off in his 2005 Z-06 Vette. I come home and start to study for my upcoming state exam. I get a call about 8pm and a friend tells me you are not gonna believe who died today. So I was crap when you get those calls you just like who! It was Daniel....I was just in shock started crying my butt off because I was just with him. My bud and I love muscle cars and he had some fast 9 sec rides. He got caught speeding but tested himself again... for some reason he liked to out run police cars and would get away. It finally caught up to him and wreck pretty bad. He was in the car when it was caught on fire and burnt inside. He left behind a wife two kids and great family. He was in the Army had his own high performance shop and was 32 years old.I don't what he was thinking and nobody will ever know.But just for a speeding ticket slow down get the ticket but no it costed him his life. Really sucks but justed something I wanted to vent out. He was a funny cat and will miss him. It was really to close to home for me..... made me realize a lot that life is really short.I went to the crash sight and it was a huge fire metal and fiberglass melted. The ford shirt he wore just the emblem on the shirt was at the site and had a flesh smell.The passes that where handed to him where on the floor as well. Just a very bad bad accident. May you RIP bro!

      Very sad news.

      I'm guessing he did it because he was hooked on that kind of adrenalin rush.
      Had nothing to do with the speeding ticket itself.

        He died doing what he loved. That is not tragic. Sad he left a family behind... Sorry for your loss.

        RIP

          I think it was both,but the trooper clock him at 90 in a 50 zone. He would had lost any where on the road.It had to many sharp curves and the road was never straight away.He probably never knew what was ahead of him and the power of that car just from him.

                        Tough break for your friend. Sorry.

                        Me I just found out last Monday I could have cancer.

                        Friggen great after just having the wife leave, kids leave, lost job and house

                        Oh and just got out of jail. (Begged wife not to leave threatened to kill myself if she left..Sort of went down hill after that)

                        That is ironically funny. I threatened suicide to keep my wife from leaving and here I could have been dying to whole time.

                              Yeah thanks guys! Its crazy one minute he's there and then gone the next. I was trying to get him to go with me to a men ACTS retreat. Sucked also because he had a major patent on a invention that would change a truck big time.GM and Ford where looking into it.Just two weeks ago he showed me the blueprints/paper work and I was blown because it worked.....tough blow!
