I was on my way home from work today and I saw this EVo flying up on my right side on the on-ramp. But he never realized that there was a stop sign and as opposed to a yield sign. The guy in front of him stopped so he went around him and planted his car right into the cement barrier. I was about 6 cars back..

Finally, carrying the digital with me paid off......

 

what a f'in idiot.....
SHOW OFFS..!!!

 

Ain't that a biscuit.

 

I know exactly where that is……RT-22 East right ???

 

daddy must be so proud lol

 

Yep. Between the 22/78 split and the turnpike. It must have been right when Lincoln Tech let out because all his friends were there and they were all about 18 years old.

 

its ok, daddy will buy him a new one tomorrow.

 

niiiiiiiiice

 

Never heard that one before. I've only seena couple of EVO's on the road, but whenever I do, they are gunning the hell out the car.

 

:boyracer:

 

lol

 

It wouldn't surprise me if you can't see these EVOs on street ten years from now, because probably all of them have been crashed. Have you seen a EVO that doesn't like to push its front bumper as close as possible to the rear bumper of car ahead of it, even on freeway? Have you seen a EVO that doesn't like to cut lane like crazy? I haven't. You gotta know that being fast is the only forte EVO has, so there is no reason the driver doesn't drive it fast. The faster they get, the closer they are to getting into accident.

 

I am so happy to see the guy standing outside his car knowing he hit someone else, and the other person is going to sue, and have many health problems. Hopefully he learns a lesson from it. Lucky for me I have never hit anyone else, just random objects like signs and telephone poles.

I really dont like the PA turnpike, it is such a mess as it is.

 

ha. moron evo driver.

 

Oh stop, like you would turn down a free car if your oldman offered to buy you one.

Don't hate, there will always be people with more than you and always people with less.

 

thats what happens when you mix 300hp + awd+ zits. :shakehd:

 

Ouch!

 

Jeez look how young then look. :shakehd:

 

sucks to be that kid...at least he didn't kill anyone.

 

 

idoit i see more of those cars crashed then others.

 

He didn't hit anyone... it says he hit a cement barrier....

 

In today's paper........



Two killed were best friends
Police say neither were wearing their seatbelts, but there is no evidence alcohol or drugs were involved

Stephanie Danieleski didn't start to worry about where her boyfriend was until after dark on Wednesday, a few hours after he told her he was going to work out with a friend.

When Danieleski didn't hear from Mark Citera Jr. by 8:30, she tried to call his friend, William Parente, 20, of Yaphank, on his cell phone. She didn't try calling Citera, 22, because he had told her earlier he had dropped his phone off to recharge at his parent's house in Yaphank, where the couple lived. Parente never picked up.

Both Citera and Parente, his best friend, had been killed after Parente lost control of his white Mitsubishi Evolution and hit a tree on the south service road of Sunrise Highway in Bayport, Suffolk police said.

Danieleski, 20, saw the aftermath of the accident as she drove to Sunrise Highway looking for Citera and Parente. At 10:30 p.m. she spotted the crumpled wreckage of Parente's vehicle.

"I saw it, and I knew," she said. She and Citera had been together for four years, Danieleski said.

Citera, an apprentice butcher, and Parente, who worked at his family's electrical business, had been traveling southeast on Veterans Memorial Highway around 6:40 p.m. when Parente apparently lost control of the car at the merge with the service road, Fifth Squad Det. Lt. Edward Reilly said. After failing to negotiate the curve, the car crossed over a dirt median and both eastbound lanes of the service road, striking a tree about 10 feet south off the roadway.

Family and police said Citera, who played baseball in high school, and Parente were on their way back from working out at Danieleski's mother's apartment complex in Holbrook.

"They each needed somebody else to go to the gym with," Danieleski said. "Billy, he was one of Mark's best friends." They'd been going to the fitness center for about three weeks, Danieleski said.

A witness told police the car was speeding, but Reilly said he had no estimate as to how fast.

Neither Parente nor Citera, who was in the passenger seat, was wearing a seat belt, police said. The cause of death is unknown, pending autopsy reports, police said. "There is no evidence of alcohol or drugs involved," Reilly said. The car has been impounded for safety tests.

Parente's family said he was a loving son who lived with his parents. "We're very, very close," said his uncle, Richard Parente of Yaphank. "He was a ball of joy, just the best kid."

Citera lived with his girlfriend, his parents and younger brother and sister and had just been promoted to apprentice butcher at the Stop & Shop in Setauket where he worked, Danieleski said.

"He was a caring kid and a loving kid," said Citera's father, Mark Citera Sr

So sad.

 

Sad, indeed.

 

Who are the parents that are buying these cars for their kids? Christ it is like getting your kid a vet.

The insurance on these things are going to skyrocket soon.

 

I didn't see where he hit a concrete barrier, but that sucks.

The story about the two guys dying is pretty bad. Mitsubishi should try to make the car safer, but at the same time people shouldn't drive them so fast.

 

They weren't wearing their seatbelts....not a good idea in a car that small and that fast.

 

theres nothing wrong w/the parents getting their kids cars


i was discussing how pissed the parents must be to hear their child 2 do something so dumb regardless of whether they gave their kid the car or not


and damn beltfed, sad story

i wished people who drove such cars would spend a little more money and go 2 performance schools and learn the limit of their cars and how 2 safely extract them

 

That was a sad story but, HOW DOES IT NOT OCCUR TO YOU TO NOT WEAR A SEAT BELT?!?!?!?!?! Is it that uncomfortable to wear a seatbelt??? This is getting totally nuts, with these stupid fatalities caused by avoiding the relatively minor inconvenience of wearing a seatbelt. If they were dumb enough to speed without wearing a seatbelt and died because of it, then the avg IQ of humanity just increased. (sorry to vent)

Very stupid!!!!

IMO: any HP + adolescent behavior = trouble

 

^^^ maybe they were really fat and the seatbelts couldnt fit around them, that is why the were going to the gym. Unlikely because they played sports in high school.

 

I thought i saw that somewhere, when you bought a car, they company offered a course on how to drive the car...i forgot who it was though...someone please enlighten me...

 

I dont kow how many of you all own or have owned 4-wheelers. You need to be a certain age to drive certain CC bikes. They dont care if you have a 6 foot tall 10 year old. He cane be on anything over 90cc

I think that there sould be an weight/HP ratio that limits kids to certain cars.

A 16 year old should not be allowed to own a 200+ plus HP car. Unless he has taken an approved driving class. And not a book class. I mena a behind the wheel class. See what I am saying...

 

damn that sucks for him, he was prob paying high insurance on the car from the begining.

 

Imagine if this was Europe, they charge insurance based on the displacement/cc + FI of your vehicle.... that's why diesel and <2.0 engines are popular...

As for the story, how the fuck do you no wear a seatbelt? I'm sorry, but whenever people get in my car, I don't even start it unless everyone buckles up. I even kicked a friend out to the curb for refusing to wear his cause he said "it's annoying." I'm sorry, but I would hate to be the guy who is responsible for his friend's death because of ignorance and peer pressure.

 

My son and daughter are 13 y/o and 12y/o respectively and I've already discussed MY groundrules with them for their driving cars (when under 18 y/o):

#1) No driving ANY car unless at least one of us parents are in the car; parents meaning me, my wife and their grandparents (our parents)

#2) They have to successfully complete driving school (i.e.: local driving school) before or when completing the road test examination

#3) Immediately after getting their license, they have to attend Skip Barber's New Driver program, in order to advance their driving skills.

#4) They have to learn to drive on a car with a manual transmission; they will not be allowed to drive ANY automatic car until after they completed the New Driving Program.

#5) We will not subsidize or buy any car for them with more than 140hp, as their 1st car. (i.e.: Hyundai Elantra) This car also has to be a manual tranny and no forced induction (i.e.: "135hp" 89 Mirage Turbo which can be modded to run 12s).
We'll foot the bill for insurance.

#6) If they plan to go to any college or university where access to public transit is available (i.e.: NYU, BU, Rutgers, Temple, GWU), their car must stay @ home while they are away at school.

#7) Once they leave school, they're free to make their own choices.

Those be MY rules.

 

You have to know your kids. Some kids with 90hp cars are more reckless then ones with 260hp cars.

Some kids are mature enough to drive any car responsibly. Some kids will drive anything carelessly.

 

Very true, basically, all cars nowadays are fast(compared to 10 years ago), even the smallest of 4 cylinders get the cars moving and will do 100+mph easy, so the emphasis should be on the operation of the car. Any recent car is fast enough to get you into trouble these days.

 

Damn thats a sad story Beltfed.

 

damn, that's sad
