Amen, and to quote Russ D on another page.........
"While I realize that my posts on this thread have assured that once I do obtain my Cobra, that I will never be invited to a fling, car show, cruise night, etc, I feel that I have to make one final post.
My grandpa used to say: "Be careful when you climb up on your high horse, because it might just be a Shetland Pony". Let's be realistic, we're all Type A personalities around here, or else we wouldn't all share the same desire to own the meanest car ever unleashed on the American public.
But don't use the sad circumstances surrounding this accident to belt out a bunch of hipocritical rhetoric. Some of you guys are telling me that you own a 2500lb, 450+hp sports car, and you've NEVER romped on it in public? Wow.
Maybe you fall into one of these categories:
1. Used cell phone while driving
2. Eaten food while driving.
3. Flirted with spouse while driving.
4. Are a teenage girl.
Yes? Well then, you are among the most dangerous and careless drivers on the road, and based on current casualty statistics, are at least 25x more likely to be killed (and kill others) while behind the wheel than a guy who occasionally partakes in a stop-light challenge.
Don't do any of the above and still never mash the throttle? Damn, then you have a greater sense of self-control than 99.9% of the civilized population of Earth, and should immediately send off a bottle of your plasma for research. The rest of us animals could use a dose."
We are ALL going to DIE it is inevitable. Like Jim Morrison said, "nobody gets out alive".
