Hey guys, as you all probably have heard, i was in a near fatal accident last sunday. When a drunk driver, ran a red light and came barreling into one of my cars, at 60mph. The car i was driving was totalled, and now its my turn to give back to the community.

Every day someone is killed by a drunk driver, We don't pay attention to this until it hits us close to home. Being the victim, of a drunk driving accident it has opened my eyes. There are so many people out there that do not, care for the lives of others, it is such a selfish act. Now here is my idea, or shall i say brainstorm.

I would like to organize, a drive, one of these next weekends, dedicated to the lives lost due to drunk drivers, it seems like a miracle for me to be able to talk to you all right now, so with that in mind, i would like to help others be educated, and be more aware, of the dangers of getting behind the wheel under the infulence.

If you are interested just speak your mind about ideas, you know, we might get a small group together, or a large one, but the whole meaning of this ride, would be to honor those that have past before us, and to possibly save those that can be saved,

Im no where near NJ ... but maybe if anyone is in IL or Chicagoland area we could do a local thing too..

I think that is a great idea! there are a lot of people it seems in my town who get killed or get in acciendts b/c of drunk drivers, and i as well as you believe it is a selfish act upon one to drink and then drive knowing they are under the influence and are unable to drive an automobile. Just sickens me ... as well im sure it does you.

But ... i do think this is a great idea!

Hey hobie, thanks for the support man, i dont have the Evo at the moment either, i can sort of feel what your talking about, my evo is at mitsubishi, getting a new short block. One of my rods went about two weeks ago, and it sounded like i had a couple dollars in pennies in the engine block. Im driving my old car around, and its nothing like the evo. Im kinda paranoid driving it around though, its a golf, same car i got into an accident with(not the same just same type). I wear my 4 point harnesses at all times. But i would like to plan something, like next week.

Im thinking about a ride from, Linden 1&9 Applebees to Thompson Park, at least at the park we wont get hassled, i will try to figure out the ribbon color that symbolizes life, i think its white, but i need to double check, and i will have my company pay for the stickers, just a little ribbon vinyl for the cars. the more the merrier, it doesnt need to be all evo or lancer owners, its just a ride, all cars welcome...just to show our respect for all those lives lost due to drunk driving.

yeah..you guyz my whole goal is just to make a statement, for the public eye, many people around here, and everywhere have a bad opinion about our culture(fast cars,recklessness and all)..we need to show everyone that we are people too, and show that drunk driving is not the answer, i actually set up an account at paypal, to help organize meeting like this, but PM me with ideas.

this is deffinately good for the soul, and for the image of car enthusiast like ourselves.

we always do get ****ted on by ppl because WE LIKE FAST CARS!... we're responsible too!
you know what would be nice? if when we do do this... it gets printed on the news paper, just to show ppl of a larger scale that there are ppl like us doing such things... i feel great about it already, just the idea makes me feel nice about myself...
