It's unfortunate that poeople passed away as that is truly a sad event, however posting "hey did you see" and your subject header of "dead carcassus" really sucks and is inappropriate and I don't believe is what this board is intended for.

I agree as well. If that was my son that died and you referred to it as "dead carcassus" I would pretty much lose it.

Fixed the "subject". I need to figure out how to edit the title.I don't believe any ill will was intended. Senseless loss.

17 year old with a 2 week old drivers licence in his fathers 350hp Trans Am on wet roads just eeks of disaster.

1. Not enough experience
2. Too much car
3. Wet roads
4. trying to show off for friends is most likely.


Parents need to learn not to give their kids or let them drive HP cars with so little driving experience.

Please be careful out there!

2 youths killed, 1 hurt in crash
Car with friends, all 16, hits tree in Plymouth

Ryan O'Rourke and Christopher Welsh were best buddies since they could walk, friends said yesterday. Chadwick Correa was a later addition to the friendship, but the three Plymouth South High School students were practically inseparable.

The three 16-years-olds were traveling south on State Road in Plymouth just after 9 p.m. Saturday when O'Rourke, driving his brother's 2000 convertible Pontiac Firebird, hit wet pavement and lost control of the car, which sped off the road at a curve and hit a tree nearly head-on.

Agreed. I was ticked off when my dad wouldn't let me have a Z28/Formula for my first car. I got a lousy V6 Tbird! What a POS. But it was perfect as a first car, and I definitely didn't have the experience or respect to have a powerful car. I'd probably be dead if I would have had an LS1 as my first car.
