Default Anyone See This In The News?

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publics...-house/2171783

Not sure if this person was a member on this site or if anyone on this site knows this person.

People that do stupid sh*t like this pisses me off. It's one thing to put YOUR life at risk, but another when you put others in jeopardy. Not cool. I have no sympathy for this kind of situation.

From his driving record it sounds like he never quite figured out that can go fast doesn't equal cannot go slow. :/

This was all over the FB groups. Honestly I dont have respect for people who drink and drive ( per the article I read). Especially going 100+mph on residential area.

I only feel bad for his family and for the people he hurt, ohh and also his Z.

I need to see to what junk yard they send this Z to...I need those brembos....

Respect? He should have shown respect to the residents in the area. look at the condition of the car post-accident. there is no way to tell what kind of car it was. even the news article stated "a small Nissan sports car" and didn't name the actual vehicle model. the only way i was able to ID the car was by the rims.

no excuse for going 100+ mph, let alone in a residential area.

I'll have to take a pic of the article in the actual newspaper, as there was another picture of a silver Z messed up in a ditch (not shown in the online article), so I'm assuming those two were racing

Wow, never seen a Z ripped in half like that. Dibs on the GT wheels. Glad he's dead, btw, as a resident of this part of FL.

yeah i saw the article as i was flipping through the pages, but then the rims caught my attention, as i've never seen a Z in such a condition where 3/4 of the car is in bits and pieces.

i live in tampa and know exactly where that area is. it is a long piece of road.

The article says his license was suspended in 1989 for driving under the influence, not for this crash.

But it does look like he has a history of reckless driving.
