Were these normal driving conditions or were you speeding?

 

omg, this is terrible. ming i hope everything works out for you and for everyone involved. i can't imagine what you must be going through. just hang tight and know that we are thinking of you. good luck.

 

I'm really sorry Ming. It seems like bad things always happen to good people. Hang in there man.

 

What a horrible story. I hope everyone still involved will be all right in the end.

Good wishes.

 

Damn Ming!!!!! I'm sorry that this happened. I wish you the best in this terrible situation.

 

sorry to hear that

 

I know we've never met, and I'm sure that you never intended things to turn out this way. I want you,to know that I'm sorry to hear about your accident, and the consequences that occured.

That being said, I agree with several of the posts about meeting the family of the man who died, and with trying to maintain a positive approach to dealing with this. Regardless of whether you were driving normally or aggressively, I'm sure that this was not something you ever dreamed of occurring. I hope it is a reminder to all of us who drive a little faster than the norm, or do things because we know our cars can handle them.

I was involved in an accident almost a year ago, the result of being too aggressive, and being in a hurry. I was lucky, and so were the mother and child in the car that ended up hitting me. While I thought I was fine, situation-wise, I realized that if I'd taken an extra second or two to relax, and double check, I could have avoided getting t-boned. It comes down to this: we put all this time and money into our cars, and make them handle superbly and drive quicker, but alot of the time, we can't control all the variables, and so we have to deal with the consequences. If we can take a moment to think about the outcomes of our decisions, we can avoid putting ourselves, those we love, and other people who are loved in danger.

I'm sure the family of the man who was killed is devastated, and nothing is going to replace him. The best way to remember this man, and our friend (as a .org member, you are all my "friends") Ming, is to take the time to think about what might happen if we do what we want to do.

I love driving my car, and know it's a great one, but the last thing I want to go through again is the guilt I felt as a result of that accident. I owned up to my mistake, and Ming, as long as you do this, you'll be fine for it. It was honest, it was unintentional, and from the many positive things that are being said about you on here, I'm sure that it was the last thing that you would ever have wanted to have happen.

I hope that all works out well for everyone involved, and that you are able to get through this standing tall. May our thoughts and prayers make you stronger.

Although I never knew who you (Ming) were, I'm extremely sorry to hear what happened. I will definitely keep you and all those involved in the accident in my thoughts and prayers. Again, sorry to hear the news, and this should teach us all a lesson.

 

Ming I hope you will be ok if you have never met Ming he was a cool guy in all...very nice and humble....

 

oooh what a Maxima Ming had.....here...

Reading things like this make me think twice about modifying my cars performance, and doing crazy things on the road. My heart is with you, and I wish you best of luck.

 

I'm sorry to hear of such a terrible accident. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Good luck with everything.

 

i'm glad you escaped nearly unhurt, but what a terrible tragedy! my thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and to the family who has lost a loved one. hearing stories like this really make me feel guilty about driving the way i do sometimes. i drive like a cautious grandma half the time, but a lot of the time i know i should be thinking better safe than sorry. so i have learned from your experience and will tone down my driving even more. even though i once thought my driving was above average and within reason of safety, i will take extra care to drive in an even safer mode. good luck man.

 

gosh... i hope everything pulls through, i was totally unprepared to see this on this thread, i thought it was going to be about something else..

 

damn ming sorry to hear about that-- stay cool & prayers go out to you & everybody in the situation.

 

Man this sucks. I remember meeting Ming at Maxus last year. He's a blast... one of the funniest people around. Hang in there man.

 

Ming:
my prayers are with you, and everyone else, one suggestion for you don't get a public defender, spend the money for an attorney.

 

Sorry to hear this! I'm glad you made it out ok.

I'll see if I can catch up to you and Micah on my next visit, which will be for an entire week at the end of Aug.

 

BTW, here's Ming at Maxus: Video

He didnt do anything crazy on the road the road became slippery and he lost control of his max.

 

damm sorry to hear that, just remember life has its up and down.

 

I beg to differ on that one...

I don't see why he would say that if it wasn't his driving that caused the accident. Also, he said that he drove the road many times, so he knew how to drive the road. While freshly paved roads are a bit more slippery, if he was driving the speed limit he wouldn't have lost control of his car, especially considering that it was a tweeked out Maxima, not some big heavy sport utility. Also, if it was determined to be an accident due to the road conditions, he wouldn't have been charged with vehicular homicide.

I feel sorry for Ming even though I don't know him, I'd surely hate to be in his shoes. But the real victim in this situation is the man who died. Ming's life will go on. He may serve a few years in prison and pay a fine, but at least he still has his life to live and his family can still see him and talk to him. My prayers go out to the family and friends of the man who died. And I also pray that everyone slows down and drives more carefully so someone that I love doesn't die because of someone's carelessness.

Please refrain from guessing, I nor you knoww hat really happened. I understand your point, BUT you took what he said and assumed another.

So unless you know for a fact of what your claiming..please don't claim it.

 

My prayers to both families and to Ming.

<moment of silence>

 

Are the police, the judge, and the jury at every crime that happens? No. You have to make some assumptions and gather evidence to shed some light on the truth. If the police felt compelled to charge him with vehicular homicide after measuring the skid marks, observing the damage, and talking to witnesses, I'm sure there was enough evidence to indicate that he was speeding. I don't know everything there is to know, but I am old enough and have driven long enough to know that a perfectly good car doesn't go spinning out of control on a dry road for the hell of it.

I'm not going to defend him and uphold him just because he drives a Maxima (or should I say drove) like most people here do.

Speed limit - what is that? Grow up.

Check your PM's

 

Aww man. I hope everything will work out ok Ming.
Sorry to hear what happened.

 

So sorry to hear what happened. Let this be a lesson to everyone on the road!... I wish Mr. Gone had heard this before he totalled his 3rd gen on 8/3/02... no one was hurt, thank god. My prayers are with you. Good Luck!

charles, im gonna have to agree with you on this one, but do youself a favor, dont fight. its not worth it. apparently, these closed minded people feel that other people arent allowed to have opinions. i already tried this when it was first posted in the south east forum, and got blasted for it. im just glad someone else is using their brain here.

 

Tho i have never met Ming i do wish this incident had not happened. It made my heart sink to read this on the .org. It's making me think twice about many of things i do in my max.. My heart goes out to you Ming may all things work out for you. Brian, Somers CT

 

it's funny how i can feel bad for someone i never met, best of luck.

 

Sadness will give way to an understanding that life is too short. Please do not end your life, but reinvent yourself to be a better person. You can not take back what occurred but you can do your best to make sure it does not happen to others. And writing on the org has done that, thank you. My thoughts and prayers are with you, MING.

I never knew Ming, but it sucks for anyone to have to go through that. Hope things work out for you, Ming. Keep your head up.

 

Ming,

Im really sorry about your accident. I can't imagine anything like that happening to me or anyone else. Thanks for looking out for us and sending us this message. Best of luck to you!

 

I don't know Ming. He could be the greatest guy in the world, but why should I feel bad for him? He killed an innocent person out of his own stupidity. I'm glad he recgonizes what he did was wrong, but that is no excuse for what he did.

 

Ming, I'm glad to hear that you are alright. My prayers go out to the family of the man who wasn't so lucky.

A similiar thing happened to a co-worker of mine. He was driving down a residential street (sober, but going 5 mph over the limit). A kid on a skateboard came out of his driveway and he hit him. The 10 year old boy died. My friend was convicted (of the exact charge, I don't know), lost his license for a while and paid a large fine. As a new father himself, he could not deal with the fact that he had killed someone's kid. It is now 8 years later and he still wakes up with nightmares. Granted this pales in comparison to the pain the victim's family feel. However it is something that I never want to experience.

I used to drive way too fast in the wrong areas. Keep it slow. Save your speed for the track. No matter how great your car is, or how good of a driver you THINK you are, you are no match for the unknown and the unseen. Be smart.

Sorry for the rant, it is just stories like this really hit home for me.
