Dude you know how much this sucks? He was pretty young.

-Josh- · #3 07-23-2005, 03:26 PM

Yeah, i considered Andy a good friend... We were supposed to go cruising this summer. He was a good guy and extremely knowledgeable...he'll definately be missed, he was going places...

Rally Sport · #4 07-23-2005, 03:37 PM

For being 22, and doing what he was doing now? Yeah he was going somewhere, sucks because he had his life pretty tight and right.

I was hoping this was a sick joke. Andy was a good man, hes going to be missed terribly on the forum and by those who talked to him outside of our little world.

take something away from the tragedy though, and learn that of all the places to skimp on price, tires are not among them. recapped tires are for semi trucks guys, not performance cars.

i donno what to say, i didnt really know him, apperantly he was really smart when he came to cars but why would he drive on recapped tires?

yeah, its too bad it isn't a joke.

he's helped me countless times with car related matters. i didn't know he was only 22, he definitely had something good in store for his future. its sad that it had to end due to poor tires. and it happened while he was trying to help someone else.

yea, i seen that in the post he was trying to help someone else... it said on the other forum that he was thrown from his car when if flipped over, i donno but im guessing he didnt have his seatbelt on

Rally Sport · #9 07-23-2005, 04:36 PM

Was he not wearing a seatbelt though? Because it said he was thrown out of the car, although I know as much as the next guy does, only according to what we've read. I was hoping that this was a sick joke, but I kept reading on the Turbo Buick forum and his uncle posted so it kinda sealed the deal there.

Btw can someone tell me what recapped tires are? Is it just a tire that has had a repair because of a hole? Kinda like a bike if you will (only thing I can relate to)

recapped is when your tires go bald you get new treads stitched to the old tire... like retread on a big rig... (thats why you see chunks of tire all over the roads becasue they go pretty easy)

Holy shit.. this is another one of those jokes you mods are doin right? Like the april fools joke... right?

blindeyed · #13 07-23-2005, 04:48 PM

i donno what the april fools joke was i wasnt really an af person at that time, but i really hope this isnt a joke, its really not funny to joke like this...

-Josh- · #15 07-23-2005, 04:54 PM

It's not...funeral services were yesterday. I didn't hear about this until today so i couldn't make it to his arrangements. So i thought this would only be right to do..kinda like an AF visitation i guess..i posted in all the other forums he visited, as a show of how much respect i had for him since i never got to tell him personally...
