i would like to see about this crash
im 17 also and i know very well of what the car is capable of but i dont intend to find out where its limits are on the street
I will be taking driving courses this summer to improve my driving
hopefully i can go to Mid-Ohio and take some there.
Anybody in the ohio area have any suggestions which course i should take?
But this is sad for this kid and his family

Howerver, both have reported on an accident on the Sawmill which occurred last Friday, June 20, 2003. A car travelling northbound on the Sawmill in Chappaqua, near Roaring Brook Road, veered out of control, rolled, and then struck a tree (not a light pole), killing the driver. You can view Channel 12's coverage at http://www.news12.com/NewCDA/article...=56620,00.html and The Journal New's coverage at http://www.nyjournalnews.com/newsroo...fatalfolo.html.
It turns out there were no "kids" involved - the 41-year-old man driving the vehicle was the sole occupant. And it turns out there was no Evo involved - the crashed car was a 1998 4-door Mazda (I can't tell whether it was blue).
I wonder what makes people start rumors like this?

So I think one or both of these news outlets would have reported on the accident described in the initial post of this thread. They didn't.

A thread describing bishiboy's first Evo (black):

A thread describing bishiboy's second Evo (red):
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=26963
So, GomeR, can you post some more details of the Mandeville, LA guy that did more-or-less the same trick?
I doubt it.
