A Bohemia teen drag racing along busy Montauk Highway in Oakdale died after his Nissan Maxima slammed into a utility pole, police said yesterday.

It's not OT, its about a maxima...

I dont know who he is, maybe he was on here?

Here's a link to his myspace profile

Let that be a lesson to all you street racing lane changing people.

What a painful reminder of life. Doesn't he know the golden rule of driving fast? Speed all you want, but when you hit more traffic SLOW DOWN!

Damn i think myspace is the worst. When you hear something like this in the news its just another faceless person, but when you put a face on them it really makes you sad.

I wonder if the fact that he removed the headrests from his seats had anything to do with it. Neck injuries, FTL...



sad to hear, in any case.

I read all of the comments on his page, that really did touch me, and made me put a lot of things as far as driving/speeding/racing goes into perspective.

Or maybe that he was wearing sunglasses, in a most likely heavily tinted car, late at night..

But yeah, that's really sad. This may sound stupid/corny but it makes me even sadder that we lost a fellow 4th genner. You gotta feel a little more connected from that.

Sad story, it made it sadder visiting his myspace and seeing people comment, limited to text. You just see a bunch of people whose handles are something like "tie me to the bedpost" saying "RIP miss you" with a frowny face at the end of it, and it seems like they really don't care that much.

I'm sure they really do, and we only see the myspace version, but it's still disconcerting nonetheless.

Anyway, don't do this stupid **** people, most of the time your car can fit in smaller places than it seems that it should, but don't test it. Be careful.
