SD accident, possibly street racing

[JoeyM3]

my friend showed me this link about his friend

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/15904406/detail.html?dl=mainclick

what caught my attention was the 'tuned by reese' sticker, makes me think it was an evo or subie, hopefully its not someone on here. . . .

[pog0]

Just read that... Same thing caught my attn: Tuned by Reese.

Thankfully whoever it was survived. That is one bad accident.

[Terenus]

He's lucky as hell to survive that.

[Ion619]

they said it was a 2007 black honda civic??

[boostedmiata]

a honda with a reese sticker on it doesn't make any sense to me.

[pog0]

I would think that an NSX would own a Honda. Anyone with a Black Evo in that area race an NSX? I wonder if anyone will admit to it.

[TeKiZeRo]

That's horrible...

[JoeyM3]

they said it was a 2007 black honda civic??


they also say his car is an acura integra when its an nsx, you gotta remember a lot of ppl aren't into cars, you put a civic and an evo next to eachother they would probably think its the same

more than likely i would say the sticker is no longer on the car

[TeKiZeRo]

Reese might have some unexpected visitors soon.

[Ion619]

that's true about the honda civic identity.. but dang.. you're right.. reese may be having some unexpected visitors soon..

[Reese Tuning]

First and foremost I would like to send my sympathy out to the family and the owner of the vehicle involved in the accident.

We do not promote or condone street racing in any aspect, I would also like to add that till this point we have only worked and tuned Mitsubishis and Subarus.


Reese Tuning

[GeorgeFA]

Wow, holy shit mang!
Dood, that fool is lucky as fuck to survive!.

[PineApple]

Damn, that is one mangled car. Â*So terrible when ish like this happens. Â*

Comment on the Reese Tuning Sticker is that eh, buncha people put random sticks on there car. Â*Like AEM on stock civics. Â*People put that stuff on there since its +hp.

[06ssdevo9]

GREAT. Even more attention for us. Everyone drive careful now.

[evo05]

sucks man...........

[lost0138]

looking for a black honda civic racing a acura integra?
well eat least they wont be looking for evos.
glad to hear the drive is alright tho, hopefully they dont try to press charges on him

[pog0]

I just wish they didn't close Carlsbad or they opened a new track in San Diego. How could they close the only track when there was a huge problem with street racing here. Qualcomm is way too fucking expensive for some 8th mile bullshit.

[scumdog]

Barona

[TeKiZeRo]

Barona is whack 8th mile too.

[melachu]

Hopefully the guy learned his lesson. In the beginning when i read the article it said "integra" and the more i looked at the car, the more i was thinking... thats a freakin nsx.

[TeKiZeRo]

This is becoming interesting...

[r0me0ne]

^^^wow...i doubt whoever was involved in this will turn themselves in...

[melachu]

Seriously... his friends will hunt that guy in the subaru down...

[TeKiZeRo]

Curious to see how this turns out.

[melachu]

But hmm, if i was racing a friend and shit happens, I know they wouldnt want me to turn myself in, vice versa. Its TOTALLY different... if they were not friends or rivals.

That guy is retarded. He's just all testosteroned-out from his friends accident, and wants bloody revenge.
Honestly his friend shouldn't have been racing, it just happened to be an unfortunate accident

[Evo8urv8]

GREAT. Even more attention for us. Everyone drive careful now.

There has been more attention to us than it had ever been. Thanx to those stupid ricers (that includes some evo owners too who gives us a bad rap) who made the cops looked like we're part of those fawkers. And there's this thing called profiling. They're pull us over left and right. No matter how safe u drive, how good u follow the rules or how stock ur car look, ur bound to get pulled over somehow, sometime, someday. :-(

[awdlancer]

man thats sucks i was wondering why there were so many cops down there so come on guys whos evo was it ?

[05EVOMR]

Guys its gonna suck for all of us they are gonna yank all of us... looks like I wont be in Diego for a while fuckin tools. Prayers go out to the NSX drivers Family and friends

[scumdog]

that guy is just freaking out, of course out of all the tb evos with a reese sticker, he is going to remember the caged one with 500whp. my heart goes out to the nsx driver and family, but did the tb evo cause the nsx to crash? i highly doubt it, he was racing just like the tb so why is he pissed and making it sound like the nsx was innocent??

[WhiteIXMR]

I guess he's just looking for closure also b/c he doesn't want to admit the fact that his buddy was street racing and got hurt for doing so. He wants to see someone else pay for it too so it doesn't make his friend look bad on his own. If he should be mad and upset at anyone..he should be mad at his buddy for making that choice to race also..both parties are at fault and for that guy to wish that the other guy is going to turn himself in?..he's in a whole lot of trouble already if he does so we all know he won't be doing so unless someone rats him out.

[wsmc27]

...kinda like the old "it take two to tango" saying, huh?

Hope the guy recovers well.

...and shame on the two drivers for risking themselves and others on the public streets. Call it a tragedy, but what if some young couple and their two kids were out for an afternoon bicycle ride or just strolling along right in that area, right when the dumbasses dropped those clutches? Sad to think of!

Sorry for the EYE that'll be on the TB guys...fly low and slow, eh?

I'm also saddened for what the Reese guys may have to deal with. When you guys run stickers on cars keep in mind, even when you're not actually sponsored there is a connection there, and if you really LIKE the products (or good people like Reese and his staff) then show some respect and act dignifed (even if some jacka$$ is revvin' his noisy ol' Cobra or something up next to you at a light).

$0.02 thanks for lettin' me vent

[mitsuEVO8kid]

^^couldn't it also be a black subie?

May the driver of the nsx RIP and condolences to his family

[wsmc27]

Did he die??

Ya, maybe a Subie...I have no idea but the TB Evo guys are concerned (as well they should be).

:-(

[pog0]

Nice find on AWJ. I dont think it is the other guy's fault that he crashed. It's fucked up that he left but I am sure a lot of us would have done the same shit if we were racing someone and they crashed. It's his own fault that he was racing and lost control. You should know when to slow down when you are going fast.

[Evolutionized]

great... another reason why i am allways debating selling the evo..

i hate the fact that i always have to checking my surroundings for cops when all i want to do is take a nice trip to the beach with some friends..

sucks to hear but just because the NSX crashed and he got hurt doesent mean he isnt guilty just as much as the car that didnt crash.. hope he has a "speedy" recovery and learned a big lesson :-\

but the other car will def. be in more troubble outside of street racing.


drive safe.

Apex Silver FTW :)

[r0me0ne]

im so glad i drive a GG ix and i dont live in san diego...nice city nonetheless...

[EVOMANIAC]

HONDA CIVIC + RICE MACHINE = ANY STICKER ON THE CAR TO LOOK LIKE ITS FAST....so i could easily see that sticker on there.....

also....those NSX seats look freakin cooooooooomfy!

[g1ovan13]

GREAT. Even more attention for us. Everyone drive careful now.
:tickedoff: he's right

[chavo_del_8]

Black evo? damn it...wait 500HP? whew, mine only makes 150. Yes Ive been de-tuned.

[vortech_g35]

Whos that guy in the SD threads with the Black civic in the sig?

[DPK MR]

^^^ Nerologic..

he already posted it wasnt him.. all his friends i guess called him and told him to watch out cuz cops are on the look out for a black evo..

*devin posting under davids sn*

[tatsuIX]

I have been reading everyone’s opinion on this very unfortunate incident. I truly hope and pray that the driver of the NSX pulls out and recovers from his very serious injuries. Believe me when I say I empathize with the family as well.

I also have read the responses from others on this very issue on the AWJ forums, I can’t believe that fellow all wheelers actually want this guy (of the Black car) to turn himself in. There isn’t one person on these sites that illegally street race and the KEY word is ILLEGALLY street race would have pulled over or waited for the authorities, let alone TURN yourself in, and if you say that you would have. I will tell you to your face that you’re a lying hypocrite. Street Racing is illegal and not a characteristic of some one with good character. So pulling over is not an option for those that promote or are involved with such activities. You get behind the wheel of a high performance vehicle and there is a certain responsibility that comes with that, it’s called maturity. I can’t agree more with the ol cliché that “it takes two to tango� someone has to be the adult here when faced with this dilemma. Race or NOT to race, kill or be killed. Fellas it’s a loaded gun, if you don’t respect it someone is going to get hurt. For what? To say I smoke some guy in a Evo, Porsche...Those two drivers should thank their lucky stars no one innocent got hurt or even killed ie that poor guy cleaning his fucking pool, never again to see his family because some dumbass ran a RED light. I have a performance car, I enjoy and respect other folk’s performance cars, but I’m also responsible mature adult about it.

The bottom line is we all have choices to make, as adults and young adults we have to live with those choices we make (good or bad). But sometimes we forget how our choices can and will effect others. In this case the family of the driver that made the wrong choice. That’s who I really feel for, those few seconds of a bad decision is going to cost that family months maybe years of aguish.

This is a lesson we all can learn from.

[scumdog]

very well put O0 ^

[Azian]

For Real^^^^^^^^

[TeKiZeRo]

Amen to that, very nicely put.

Finally I see you post, James :P.

[white9]

Well written James.

[c_sautter]

Good thing my TB evo is in the shop! I just read the post on AWJ, its locked now. It got pretty bad.

[evo8jedi]

thats why AWJ is gay now... bunch of douchebags....

[05EVOMR]

hahah yeah no doubt they are a bunch of clue less heads there and James yeah very well put.

[vortech_g35]

I would turn myself in!








After I moved to Thailand..

[threepointsix]

All black civics, evo's and subies need to get the free 'tuned by reese' sticker on the back

[DPK MR]

Reese Tuning Baby!!!

[MOTSEVIR]

I agree mines black and I asked for a sticker today. The problem I see is any jump on the accelerator can be defined as racing by any officer any time. We have all probably been stoped because of how your car looks, or ticketed for something the officer saw another car that looks like yours do . We have off duty officers every year who feel they are entitled to shoot citizens, just because they are pissed off. The least we can do is not speculate on or point the finger at each other. I lived to be 60 because I learned not to street race at 20 [when it didn't mean a felony record]. I also learned help THE MAN when he's the good guy, but remember HE will become the GESTAPO IF YOU LET HIM, ABUSE OF POWER IS HUMAN NATURE. Wait a minute, HA HA, both street racing and harsh enforcement are both abuse of power.

[c_sautter]

thats why AWJ is gay now... bunch of douchebags....




They should re-name the site Subaru junkies, there's nothing but those cars on that board. I have nothing against them, there's just no room for anyone. Of course, I don't know anyone personally who goes to that site. What happened with you jedi? You used to post on there more than anything.

I'm just disgusted with the quality of members there now... Now its nothing like it used to be... all the good people left....

[c_sautter]

Wow I had no idea. That sucks, Tod always seemed like a cool dude. I've only met him once though.

[MOTSEVIR]

I'm new, so I'm impressed by the maturity and good judgement reflected by most of these posts. Its clear as a community evo drivers are controling the beast within and the beast they are driving in.

[c_sautter]

Sometimes its hard to control. LOL
But I do, and I do it good.

[vial8or]

^^haha +1
it's like the hulk, you can control it, but sometimes.....it HAS to come out
lmao

[16g blue_evo]

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HEAR ABOUT IT...I HEAR ALL THE OG LEFT..FROM AWJUNKIES..

[c_sautter]

What happened to cause such bad blood?

[EVOMANIAC]

I hardly go on there anymore. It has just become too lame. Good people leaving and too much drama.

[evo8jedi]

yea, i still go there cuz there are a handful of good people... but with all the drama it lost its luster....

[vf34grl]

^^^ So true. Too much Drama.

[c_sautter]

Did they ever find out who the other guy was?

[awdlancer]

did they man what kind of trouble is he in ?

[16g blue_evo]

Awjunkies was cool but alot of my friend told me that alot of personal stuff happen. :-\..i used to go to the meeting every 1 thursday of each month...but slowly it started to die out?..beside some of those dude's werent cool..i would go up to these guys to say was up and introduce my self and woulnt give you the time of life....(nothing personal)..so anyways..back to the story..they found out who it was..what forum was he from?...did he turn him self in or some one ratted him out?..was he well know?

[c_sautter]

Yeah who was it? Someone we know?

[scumdog]

i heard they think they have an idea of who it was but they havent even questioned him yet

[Deca Auto]

The guy should really turn himself in. Even though it wasn't his fault he is going to get caught. He should talk to a lawyer and surrender himself before he makes himself look any worst. At least then his conscious won't bother him and he can maybe bargain a deal and explain why he didn't stop.

[MOTSEVIR]

Did you ever consider the possibility that not only would law enforcement monitor this forum, but also suggest turning yourself in? With a felony conviction and possible manslaughter on the table they don't make it easy. Don't race it could ruin your life even if it doesn't cost you your life, we get the message. But do you want to be the example used to scare the rest of us? It's not a lot different from cutting off your hand to discourage stealing or stoning you to death for adultery. I feel bad for everyone involved but if you trust the law to do the right thing just remember those kids in Escondido.

[fsae_alum]

I've got a TB Evo IX and I work literally blocks away from the accident site (and NO, it wasn't me). All my co-workers heard the sirens the day of the wreck and wondered what was going on. I drive my TB Evo every other day 30 miles one way to and from work and have never even gotten a second glance from the local cops. I guess it's because I look older, the car isn't riced out, and I don't drive like a frickin tool.

While I feel sorry for the guy in the NSX and his family, as soembody pointed out, it does take two to tango and he's just as much at fault for the outcome as the other guy is (if not more).

[MOTSEVIR]

Truth

[c_sautter]

Did that guy end up being ok or what? The guy in the NSX I mean. I read on AWJ that one guy knew him, and he was hanging on to life by a thread. Haven't heard anything after that.
