VtspecB Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Another story of a rich dude wrecking a superb machine. Charles Lewis ... should I know him? ... turned his Modena in two. Sorry to hear he died. http://news.aol.com/sports/article/charles-lewis-dies-in-crash/379365 (see pics of the scene midway down pg 1) my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtspecB Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mods -- I hope this doesn't constitute the type of kill story Tide was referring to here ... although I doubt it because it is publicly reported on. If so, mea culpa ... delete it. my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Kill stories are about drag and other illegal racing on the street between cars, one car "killing" the other, in terms of performance, in an unsafe, unpredictable, public-access street location. Accident stories where people unfortunately die, are not "kill" stories, that glorify illegal activity, and marginalize potential consequences. Moreso "cautionary tales", about those consequences exacting their toll. Sorry to hear about the ferrari, but it was a car, a machine. The human can't be replicated, and that is more of a unique loss to those who knew him. Unfortunately sometimes, people are stupid, and accelerate their own demise. That is one performance aspect that Ferrari didn't intend. The other driver of the white '77 Porsche should not have left the scene, whether it was their fault or not. But then they would have had to explain what they were doing at a high rate of speed at 1am, if they weren't illegally racing... Keep the rubber side down, and keep the racing on the track. They don't have utility poles ready to "jump out at you" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was horified at that sight. I wonder what the insurance institute rating was on that car????? Too bad, hate to see that happen to anyone. What happened to the other car, was it a Porsche? Street racing, a gamble with your life for sure. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTATV Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 wasnt he tanked when he crashed? im no saint and cant say i havent done it before but when you do that if shit happens its your fault. I kill myself cause I'm being an idiot (something i have been seen being more than once) I dont want people to pitty me, it was my poor decision and I didnt live with the concequences. Yeah it sucks and my condolences to anybody that cared about him but i dont feel bad for him himself... I highly doubt he was sober doing the speed limit when that crash took place. please explain because that was a dck thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been sober and doing the speed limit the car would have had some body damage and he'd have an insurance claim on his hands and that is about it. Then again Ferrari products seem to be very shoddily built when it comes to crash worthiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWilly Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I didnt see anywhere in the article that the driver was drunk. Its an easy assumption to make but not yet confirmed. Point is, we've all made stupid decisions, but its no one's place to say that they deserved to die for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
