You would think with all the fatalities on that road that they'd install some guard rails or something.

Thats terrible! the MR2 is soo small not even the sonar is picking it up. on top of having lost a family member they have to wait untill they are able to recover the body!

They found the car at the bottom of the lake this morning (or last nite)...and the driver.

"...Sheriff's deputies said the car and body of the 23-year-old Arcadia man were recovered from a depth of about 130 feet. Investigators said the victim, whose name had not been released, apparently skidded off the winding San Gabriel Canyon Road on Saturday night while racing. "

Yeah, lets blame the lack of guardrails....


Prayers to the family.

Any import, with a young adult, in a accident, is always a result of racing.

I hope that is a joke.
I can't tell if that was sarcastic or not.
If it is, I understand what you mean. You hear a report nightly about the 'affects of street racing.' Turns out, it was just another accident.

Damn stereotypes. It doesn't just happen to imports though. If someone 6-7 younger than me was driving my car, and got into an accident, it would be made into a racing accident.....

Yes, it was sarcastic. I was quoting Mr. Luos, and his, lets blame the lack of gaurdrails comment.

But again, it also holds some truths.

At young age I wrecked many .... many MR2s.

None of them were while street racing.
They were all mostly while driving stupid though :(
