That is quite a quote. I may use this someday.

Seriously....
I saw the news story this evening and they have one of those lame *** memorials at the "tree" with flowers and crap like that. If they have candles lit, I fully condone pissing on it to put them out. Wouldn't that be great, the street racing a-hole remembered by the tree catching fire from the undeserved memorial. This tool does not deserve to be remembered as anything other than a statistic.
Is that wrong?

No. It was a 17 year old that was in a honda that got busted. Other things i learned, 5.0 was raceing in the rain, And the car did a 100-degree turn in the street before it hit the tree.
the guy that died was a father of two.

When the f_ck did Ford ever have a model called 5.0 (five ohh or five point ohh)?
Too much Vanilla Ice.
And why doesn't that titled carry over to the other cars with similar displacement like the Mark VII?
And why do dipsh1ts have to say "It's a five point ohh liter engine" like they cant f_cking round and say "It's a five liter"?

That's a little severe in my opinion, the kid might have deserved it, but at least let the friends and family's grieve the loss of their kid... You know if it was your kid that died street racing you would do the same
