That sucks, looked like he had a nice Rx too. I wonder how that happened? It looks like a straight road, maybe just a moment of distraction?

RIP. That sucks, but in all honesty I think that would be the way I'd wanna go out. In the love of my life. In my rx7. It is still really sad though.

Well I think its pretty much given. Look at how much time we spend on this forum alone. I mean I know for a fact that my '83 caused a huge fight and led to a breakup with one of my ex girlfriends, and knowing damn good and well that I would choose my car before most everyone I think I would definitely be happiest dying in it as opposed to any other way. I would assume that those of us that spend hours on this forum per day would feel that way as well.

hahaha I'm not saying it would be happy, but I am saying that, considering we all have to die, I would rather die in my car because of how much it means to me than any other way. I'm not looking forward to dying by any means, lol.
