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

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. "

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

My condolences to the family.

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.

Re: We lost an MR2 owner Monday ... most likely street racing
At young age I wrecked many .... many MR2s.

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