    Default Apparently, a couple of more street-racing deaths...

    Happened on Lee Rd. this morning in Atlanta. An Acura, with 2 dudes inside, was racing another car when, of course, the driver lost control and slammed into a MARTA station barrier and burst into flames, killing the two guys. The other car left. Many witnesses saw the incident, saying they were well over 70mph. I guess people will never learn until they're dead. Later, QD.

    Dammn. Looks like people never learn these days till something bad happens. And when that happens its too late. I mean I can say "ohh its never gonna happen to me" but what if it does? STREET RACING IS BAD!

    I love how whenever we talk about street racing it devolves into some F&F quotes; the original though, not the ghey-ass 2F2F or un-JDM-TyTe Tokyo Drift

    In the world we live in today there are people that live thier life a quarter mile at a time, and in that moment they are free. You have to ask yourself. If you died in a moment of glory.....would that feeling stay with your soul for eternity? Or would it be spread 60 yard along hot asphalt like the lifeless corpse of a retarted street racer.

    if you were to die racing (if you were wining) you would probably be smiling and happy with an adreneline rush but if your losing and you die you just suck at life.

    I mean no one wants to die, but there are much much worse ways of dying.

    I understand what you're saying, but if you bring those people that have died while racing and ask them if they would do it the same way, how many do you think would say yes? I can guarantee you that less than 5% would. Later, QD.

    No I would be worried I might hurt my friend, like the dumbass in the story this post was started about. Unless your going 150mph you have plenty of time to think about shit before you slam into a big hunk of darwinism...in this case, a MARTA station.

    i dont know flying off the road at 80+mph into a tree, or a pole isnt that glamorous, and i highly doubt anyone who dies in a street racing wreck has a smile. If we were talkin about going out in a blaze of glory.. like a big ass dramatic shoot out for ur family against the russian mafia after you have kiilled like 95% of them.. on some bruce willis die hard shit.. than id agree....

    2 dead in fiery wreck

    By ROSALIND BENTLEY
    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Published on: 01/13/07


    A possible drag race may have been the cause of a car crash that killed two males in southwest Atlanta Saturday morning.

    Witnesses said a 1994 Acura Legend traveling excessively fast on Lee Street struck a concrete MARTA support rail and instantly burst into flame near the intersection of Donnelly Avenue, Atlanta Police Department spokesman Joe Cobb said.

    Police haven't yet confirmed the identities of the bodies because they were burned so badly, Cobb said.

    Although several witnesses said they thought the Acura may have been in a drag race with another car, police haven't confirmed that report, nor released a description of any other car that might have been involved.

    MARTA service in the area was not interrupted by the accident, police said.

    I'll join in the racism here.

    How many white people you know that drive a 1994 acura legend?

    And as far as losing control in a straight line, you know, a lot of unexpected things can happen on the road.
