A Real Christmas Kill
I seem to notice more street racing threads than usual this week. I suspect it may have to do with our forum-member kids being home for the holidays with more time to race their Maximas.
With that in mind, here's a kill story that appeared in today's Los Angeles Times:
"FLORIDA
Driver Hits Car Carrying His Mother, Killing Her
A man allegedly drag racing on a highway in Dona Vista, Fla., at more than 100 mph slammed into the back of another car, killing two people–one of them his mother, who was taking an elderly friend for a drive to look at Christmas lights.
When 21-year-old Dwight Samples realized it was his mother's car he hit, he asked emergency workers to tend to her first, witnesses said.
Diane Samples, 45, and her passenger Vivian Green, 72, died at the scene.
No immediate charges were filed as authorities continued to investigate the crash.
Police said Samples was driving on a two-lane road when he rear-ended his mother's car. Witnesses said he appeared to be drag racing."
I pray that no Maxima.org members will have a Christmas like Mr. Samples will have.

I hope it makes some people think.....probably not as we were all young once but hearing these threads of guys street racing at 110-120 mph....just has to make you shake your head. These aren't tanks guys...
You hit something at that speed it's lights out for you or the poor sob who is minding his own business trying to make it home......
