Last weekend the son of the Princpal at Haldane High School, died in a real real bad accident. My dad was just telling me today. If anyone lives in the Westchester County area, tell me if you saw this in the Daily Item.

MY dad said he has a 98 Grand Am which is like the same body stlye of the Alero I have back home in NY. Anyhow he was on the Taconic Parkway (if anyone knows what that is like, it is just tons of curves and sharp with trees all over, I personally would not travel over 100mph on that road at night, and i'm a nut.)

He apparently flipped his car and then the car hit a tree and instead of the tree splitting in two the car did.

The engine was 200ft away from where the car ended up. He died instantly. That is fucking scary. The paper said he was going excessive speed. My dad and I both agree at least 110-125 MPH, I totalled my Alero which is the same thing at 80mph and the engine was just a couple feet away, Did anyone in the Westchester Country area hear of this, that kid must have been hauling ass. Dayum

How old was this kid? Not to bright. Feel sorry for his family. That shit scares me sometimes 'cause I do the same thing but not as fast.

I don't know really but he is under 21 I'm pretty sure of, that's why I was wondering if anyone in the Westchester County area read about this in the Daily Item. We used to kick the crap out of their basketball team, they were like our rivals.

He was probably doing something real stupid like driving at 140 MPH and taking pictures of his speedo..

Usually when it's car against tree, the tree almost always wins.

What nutcase would do something like that

Nah the road I took pics on is dead straight for 100 miles, No one else was on the the road for like 10 miles and It's all good/

I live in Westchester County and read this in the paper. I think it was the son of the superintendent of schools at Haldane, not the principal. I thought i read he was around 25 or so and was working in customer relations for some company. I was surprised the read about the engine 200 ft away, but not pics were in the paper

Sad stuff...... A mistake ya only make once

rise

how did you total your alero?

nootch

It is funny that when several other members did the exact same thing, everyone thought it was cool.

Moo

One of my friend trashed his Maxima a few months ago on the taconic. Luckily he made it through ok as well as the other driver. Me, I take that route pretty often. There's tons of curves and the lanes are pretty narrow. I totally avoid it when there's bad weather.

HAHAH, Thakns Nootch exactly what I was thinking, It's allright some people just like flaming me because their focks.
I post the same shit as everyone else and it bothers them, Cry me a fawking river hahahaha.

As for the Alero that's a long story that I have typed before but i'll make it shorter.

4 months after I got my Alero I was taking a off ramp from the Hutch South to 287 West, It was pouring rain and I was doing 80 which was way way above the 25mph turn spped limit, Anyhow the car hydroplane and I went right into the wall and went from 80-0mph in like 2 seconds. THe hood was about 2 feet long and the engine was to the left and the car was just fucked up. Got a new Alero, PUt 235/45/17s on it, then put GM Sway Bars. And kept trying that turn again in the rain from 60mph and worked my way up to 80mph in the pouring rain, between me leraning how to handle that turn and the tires and sway bars I took it nicely skidding across the whole turn it was sweet the car was at like a 30-45 degree angle

Yeah Nootch, how come you pick on the little kid? Give him time to grow up!

pgatour1

Hey this "little kid" is bigger than you and will kick your ass, hahaha

Nah I don't mind being picked on I just hate it when I do the same thing as someone else and they get praised and I get flamed.

CO-CL-S

If that has happened I have been remiss. I plan on letting everybody who boasts about being an unsafe driver that it is stupid! I don't want to see anybody killed due to childish actions of others.

nootch

I wasn't picking on him, I was stating that when Astro posted pics of his car at 147mph, everyone thought it was cool, but when someone else does, they get flamed. It is hypocritical.
