Seeing the type of personality that tow boats will attract, I figured I should make the obligatory post begging all you guys to slow it down.
Thurs. night I lost two buddies (brothers) who were on their way back from renting a movie and according to txt messages in my phone on their way to my house to come wake me up! Their mom has now lost both her sons, and one of the boys has left his new wife and kid b/c of our need to thrill seek at high speeds. The boys were traveling in my Buddy Kev's Vette at at over 140 down back roads. Secluded enough that they weren't found for over 8 hours. Same road we've ran up and down at extremely high rates of speed before w/o thought of the consequences.
The vette left a half mile debris circle and the car was crunched into a ball. I would post the news story to show you how bad it was, but I'm pretty upset with the local media. They have chosen to show a few pictures, rather intentionally or unintentionally, that show a part of whats left of my buddies body inside the wreckage. Although it takes a keen eye to catch it, it's not right. The 30 year veteran police officer on the scene said that they have never seen a wreck that bad.
Seeing as we almost lost a member here due to a vehicle accident, I figured I'd make a plea for everyone to pay just a bit more attn. while driving and be a bit more cautious.

It sounds like he was an excellent driver but something unexpected happened and turned into a tragedy. My thoughts are with you and his family and hope that everyone is doing as good as they possibly could in this situation.
