My friend died today in is GT3...

Guys,

I just want to remind you to be prudent and careful while driving your Porsche, we always think that it cannot happen, but I lost one of my best friend today...

He just changed is 2005 Carrera S for a 2007 white GT3 about a month ago, today was is last drive in a Porsche,

God bless you Thomas, we will missed you,

JD

Sorry for the loss of your friend, JD.

At least he went out doing what he loved.

But yes....way too young.

Sorry to hear about your friend, JD. My heart felt condolences to his family and friends.

When it is my time, I'd rather it be doing something I love than wasting away in old age.

Yes, he "went out" as a result of a squashed and mangled body...and possibly gagging on his own blood. And he loved it. Sheeze!
