Just wanted everyone to see this next time they think about racing...

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/8...2625F2129B.htm

Steven Lorenz was an 18 year old vendor from the SRT Forums .com.

Be careful out there fellas!

And please dont flame this post in anyway, do as I say not as I do =\

 

Everyone take this to heart!.... Sorry for bump...

 

what happend?

 

There are more threads on the subject at SRT Forums .com but basically, he was riding with another SRT-4 driver and they careened off the road into a tree obviously. They are not giving reasons for the accident obviously, but there were 3 people in the car and 2 of them passed away.

More info here

Obviously the middle part says SRT forums .com without spaces...

 

sad, thats why street racing is no good. i know he wasnt racing but testing out a new part, but this is how street racing ends up. take it to the track. my prayers are with his friends and family

 

Very true... Although, not to correct anything you said, but I believe what they said is that all he was doing was riding with Max to go install a part for him =\

 

that may be true, but by the looks of the car they were "riding" pretty damn fast. thoughts are with the family.....

 

Actually, as this may be true, it is of no concern. And also, please note, trees don't move. I have been in a car accident involving a tree, we were only going about 35 and the car we were in was a very sturdy older honda accord. Our car did not budge the tree, but the front end / engine appeared to have been wrapped around the tree forwardly. Trees are very dangerous obstacles. Please just learn and do not comment negatively, as it serves no purpose now...

 

yea same here with me too..sorry to hear about tht...things like this kinda make you think twice when all you want to do is floor it

 

god has a purpose for us all... maybe some of us would've had the same fate at steven, but now maybe we will think twice before we hit that gas pedal

god bless you brother, and rest in peace

 

i was not trying to be negative at all, nor do i mean to belittle the unfortunate outcome of this accident. but i have seen my share of car accidents, and when one sees the frame actually broke apart at the midline i just looks like an accident of high speed. im sorry i dont mean to offend. just my 2 cents, and yes, it makes no difference now, the outcome is the sad same.

 

he wasn't even driving. some other kid was driving, so for all we know he could have wanted nothing more than to get out of the car. it sucks that things like this happen, but hopefully it serves its purpose to remind people to think before doing something.

 

thats so sad RIP man!

 

This was posted a while back and it turned into a big flame war.

 

RIP man! I hope all of you take this into consideration and be safe out there. God forbid something happen to one of us.

 

sad ****

 

Actually this just took place about 2 weeks ago, 4/4/2006

 

yea, someone already posted about steven's death here and it turned into a giant flame war. but this is the first time the video link has been posted.

 

yea, they installed a BOV on the kids car...he was a known kid and will be missed.

EDIT: You know he was a special kid when people love you enough to make a VIDEO in memorial to you...thats friends right there.

 

Wow thats a real shame, sorry about your loss.

Shame about the car too.
