$20 if you can name this Model of Car.
 

Mustang 5.0?

Well they sure make light poles like they used to.

That vehicle was going WAY way too fast for that to happen. Darwin win again. Glad the driver had no passengers.

This was my nephew that you all are commenting about. He was my brother's son, my other nephew's brother and my family. Whatever your opinion is about this situation, It was a devastating event for our family. I would appreciate if you don't have anything kind to say that you keep it to yourself. It is easy to make careless and thoughtless comments online. You don't know the details. Please stop."

Steve must be right...gotta be a Mustang. After all...well, just gotta be a mustang.

Throttle stuck at wot^^^

A clue for you. It's definitely a compact (well, it is now).

One stout pole. The oval grille suggests a BMW but I think not. Combine the grille with the 5 spoke wheel and win 20 bucks.

The pole needs to be charged with manslaughter.

Based on the wheels and color my guess is an old Acura TL. Here is a 2003. The wheels are almost a dead match.

I was also thinking Honda product, but maybe a Civic.

Subaru BRZ

I am liking the Civic... The license plate indent is in the bumper on the Acura whereas on the Civic it's in the trunk lid. The angles match pretty well too.

Could be.....my 2022 Civic SI

Nailed it. For a min, I was thinking WRX STI, but then looking at that one pic, I thought "wrong wheels" and "that doesn't look like it says 'STI'. It looks like it says something similar."

Why is your car mooning us?

Yeah, I would have thought WRX STI too by using the driving style (and outcome) as a clue.

I had to remove the rear fascia, tail lights, and bumper to install a draw-tite hitch.
The hitch has to go between the bumper and the body of the car.

Here is a pic of it with my Swagman bike carrier attached to the new hitch. I really like the hitch and bike carrier....nothing touches the car body.

I saw that comment as well. What a horrible thing for a family to suffer. Then to have to put up with the typical keyboard warriors' snide comments. It's more than a bit disheartening just how callous and uncaring so many have become.

That said, I know this area very, very well. He was entering a residential neighborhood after having passed through an area with small strip malls, gas stations, and other such business lining both sides of the road. It's a 35 mph zone going into a 25 mph zone.

Traveling at that speed in that area shows an absolutely reckless disregard for anyone else. The fact that he did not kill anyone else is a miracle. Yeah, we can get all snarky about how he removed himself from the gene pool, how that's probably a good thing, and all of that. Harsh words for the family to see in print. Hearts out to them, but no sympathy whatsoever for the driver. He got what he deserved.

Dang dude. You even quote pwd's comments, and then go on and bash his family member that just died. Even if you dont have sympathy, you could at least show some empathy and not say anything ffs.

Wasn't my family member. I was quoting one of the comments made in the link given in the original post.

How can someone so completely misunderstand what I just said? :confused:

I don't see how anyone reading your post could have possibly missed that.

This guy was hurtling into a 25 mph neighborhood at what had to have been triple digit speeds. So, no, no sympathy for anyone so callous and uncaring, with such disregard for others. I do feel for his family, though. I also know there is little chance of any of them finding our comments on this forum, so maybe we can speak a bit more openly regarding our thoughts on this sort of behavior.

Doesn’t the hood - in one of the pics - say KIA?

I thought the same thing but couldn't clearly make out what it says.

Loitering for sure...

And for the panty twisted ninnies here .... Joke 'em if they can't take a .....

I think Kia is as close as you're gonna get. I saw that grille shape on a 2018 but what I think are little white dashes on the side of the grille baffle me. The grille on the Kia doesn't touch the headlight, so that part seems to be a match.

BMW is not out of the hunt, though. The upwards and outwards body line to the side of the grille is consistent with some bimmers. No dashes.

Kia does have a blue like that as well. Did someone win here?

The reason why people can be so flippant is that the perp could've killed someone else and no one actually knows the guy-therefore it's not personal.

As for the pantywaist scolding everyone on the net for saying mean things: That'll teach you to go ripping thru town at 100+MPH. Deal with it. Obviously this is someone who is trained to feel sorry for the perp, not the victim.

That car is 100% a late 2000s Civic Si like the one another poster included a photo of.

This is a tragedy for the family of the boy who was killed, but mostly I’m glad he didn’t kill anyone else. The uncle quoted earlier said something like “you don’t know the whole story”, but I…struggle to think of what we could learn, after knowing that the driver fled a police stop and drove 100 in a 25, that would somehow make what he did OK.

He was running late for his interview for the Rhodes scholarship program and rushing to get there.

As an aside will a civic even do triple digits. I mean I know the civette will, but that’s a hybrid…

Easily....I have an SI and getting to 100 feels like driving to 70
The top speed is listed at 130 mph

I'll take Fleeing from Police for 1000 Alex.



SNOHOMISH — A driver who crashed into a traffic pole and died Sunday had reportedly fled from state troopers moments earlier.

Around 12: 45 a. m., a 31-year-old man was driving west “at a high rate of speed” on Second Street, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

As the driver approached an intersection, a pickup driver was turning left to go south on Maple Avenue, police said. The man tried to pass the white pickup asit turned. The man collided with the front bumper of the truck, causing him to crash into the traffic light pole, according to the sheriff’s office.


Crash scene photos showed the car was obliterated.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, near Triangle Bait & Tackle. No other passengers were in his car. The 63-yearold driver of the pickup was not injured.

Just before the crash, Washington State Patrol troopers had tried to stop the driver on U.S. 2. The car fled from troopers near 88th Street SE. Troopers didn’t pursue him, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased.

Well, with that piece of info, any sympathy I might have felt for the driver, fully disappeared.

That is a typical modern day cop-out boilerplate response/excuse/retort when someone criticizes another over what is obviously bad behavior-and the (relative of the) perp knows it.

Meaningless.
