So I got the call earlier today. My car was found. Found just south of Norman, Oklahoma. Someone driving down an old country road noticed the wreckage.
The car is crushed, and the driver is dead. Kid was going too fast, and must not have known of the turn ahead of him. There was a 100+foot skid mark, and at least 50 foot of field that he slid in before hitting a tree. When he hit the tree, the seat < which was just tach welded in for fitting > snapped, and threw him and the seat out of the car. His head hit the tree, and smashed. The car crumbled, and slid a good distance from the tree. While sliding, it ran over the kid and the seat.
Kid was 23, and lived in Norman, about 8 miles away from my house.
Car is a total loss. =/

 

Sucks, but it serves him right. I hated that call though.

 

I was more hurt that my car was totaled than hearing he died. Cop said I was heartless. I agreed. I've got some serious money put in that car man. Lots of fab time. =/

 

No person deserves to die. OP that is unfortunate. I am at a loss for words.

 

True - no one deserves to die. But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it ya know? He stole my car, and did stupid stuff in a car that wasn't even safe! I would have preferred he lived so I could sue, and possibly even messed him up a little bit.

 

My post was more directed twards ej6buddy saying it served him right.

 

Well, I kinda agree with EJ. It's karma, ya know. You keep doing bad, and eventually karma will catch up and square you away. He stole a wicked fast machine and kept driving dumb, and ended up eating it. It sucks - but he had it coming from how he was acting. Running from the police and driving a fool. No telling how many lives he put at risk.

 

That's an awfully tragic story.

I hope you recoup your losses.

 

True, but he did not feel pain when he was hurt? Did he not cry when he was sad? Did he not shiver when he was cold? Point is he was human like the rest of us. He did deserve some jail time and maybe an *** whoopin to get his life on track and realize what he was doing wrong. But death is permanent and everyone deserves a 2nd chance.

 

I agree. We all deserve a second chance. Never said he needed to die. Just a by product of his actions. When you act 10 foot tall and bullet proof, eventually your going to fall and land on a sword. I'm as neutral as possible on this. He did me wrong, but he also did himself wrong. Upon his death, I no longer hate the guy. He paid the highest price one could ever pay for a mistake. I just feel bad for his family.
