No, we don't know this guy. But as you said it yourself, he's street raced many times. THIS IS THE FREAKING REASON YOU DON'T STREET RACE! How many news articles about the dangers of street racing, how many stories about accidents caused by street racing do you need to read before it sinks in?
Your friend is a complete moron, and he put your best friend's life in danger! You act like he's a saint. He did this to himself--and it was bound to happen, since, as you admitted, he's "done it lots of times".
I hope he eventually recovers to the point where he lives a relatively normal life, but no, he gets no sympathy from me.

When did anyone get on here and ask for sympathy??? We all know what he did was dumb, but he did it I cant change that by saying it was dumb. Yes he put my best friend and himself in danger because he wasn't thinking. You've never made a mistake before? if you answer no youre a liar.

And as for mistake, no, I've never made a mistake where I seriously endangered multiple people's lives for the glory of being able to say my car was slightly faster than someone else's.

I did not read all of the negative comments because to be quite honest, they made me sick at my stomach! Here we are suffering because we have gone 7 weeks without our friend and Amber has gone 7 weeks without her BOYFRIEND OF FIVE YEARS and you sit there behind your keyboards like you are holier than thou. Were it you or your family members would you be so self righteous?I have pretty much said all I need to say, but I felt like as the best friend of Amber it was my duty to stand up for her and Timothy! May you find yourselves the bulls eye of an easy target, may you be publicly flogged for all of your bad choices, and may your noses be rubbed in all of your mistakes. 
oh and by the way, Timothy's parents didn't buy him that car, he bought it HIMSELF with his own money. He had an excellent job and worked very hard for his money which I am sure is more than can be said for alot of you!

Take it to track; don't do it on public roads.

myzrox1216, if you're still reading do keep us posted.
Look, I'm old enough to be this kid's mother. My heart goes out to his family, his girlfriend, and all the other people who care about him. I hope he survives and hope he heals completely from his injuries, mentally and physically.
That said, I hope he gets a transfusion of common sense somewhere along the way and figures out that street racing is a stupid idea! He narrowly missed killing himself and his girlfriend, for no reason at all.
If he wants to race, tell him to sign up for good racing school and learn how to do it properly, and then keep it on the track.
But before that happens - I'm sure he's got months of rehabilitation and wheelchairs and therapy and all the rest of it. If he's got broken vertebrae it may be months before he can sit up or walk.
Please do tell him and his family that people are still keeping him in their prayers. When he comes to and realizes what he's done, I hope he's both extremely grateful to be alive, and extremely remorseful at realizing how close it could have been otherwise.

not sure where all the outrage is coming from. I assume people just like to be angry.
don't things like this happen everyday??? I mean people get into wrecks all the time and hitting a car b/c you're putting on your make up or hot boxing in your car or trying to pick up the hamburger you just dropped in your lap... same things in my book.
increase risk driving = increase chance for an accident.
all comparable to some extent.
i know it must make the rest of you feel REALLY good to point at a suffering individual and call them names but a little sympathy for the inexperience of youth should be given.
wouldn't you feel better about yourself if you weren't such an asswipe and weren't mean to people when they were down? this kind of crap is as annoying as the friend who says "i told you so" after you ate the philly cheese steak from the dodgy street vendor while you're ****ting yourself for 24 hours. let's not hit people when they're down...
golden rule always holds true, even on the internet. "if I did something wrong and hurt myself severly how would I want people to respond to me?" let's not be the kind of community that adds insult to injury.

when something awful happens to you in your life due to your own actions I hope the people you come into contact with are kind and understanding so that you know what normal healthy civilized adults act like.
then again, if beating up on people online makes you feel somehow superior or more valuable then I can do nothing but pity you.
this also goes for the rest of you out there who are either rotten to the core or just think that the communications and connections you make to people (online or not) have no consequences.

You make the guy sound like it just happened, but in reality, he put himself in serious danger by street racing "all the time" (as quoted by his friend). So are we morally corrupt for being a little angry for his irresponsible behavior?
I don't think many of us are saying what we're saying because we feel superior. Most of us are saying these things because we're SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE STREET RACIING! Yet you put this street racing idiot on a sympathy pedestal as if this guy is a freakin saint while ridiculing us as asswipes. Great priorities you got there. Golden rule? I think "how to exercise self control" is a much better lesson than the "golden rule".

Timothy Pickle
Tim was my coworker at honeywell, me and my family visited him the sunday after his bad decision. he is in bad shape. It has been 7 weeks and I talked to his girlfriend yesterday and he is still in a coma. Tim was a good worker and had a good future ahead of him. We all make bad decisions when we are young and unfortunatley he got caught. Please pray for his recovery and comfort for his family.
Thanks
Delaney

For those that are being harsh, is that not punishment enough for a juvinile mistake?
