Totaled because of stupidity

Why would anyone be stupid enough to drink and drive. A guy I knew quite well was driving home from a chicago party early sunday mourning and was going 130mph when he slammed into the back of a abonded van on the side of the highway. His car was instantly thrown into the air, rolling from side to side. His passenger was killed instantly, he is in serious condition. His car is completely totaled. He is only 20, so he will probably be charged with man slaughter, cause he was on a suspended liscence also. Dont drink and drive. Oh yea, they both weren't wearing their seat belts and the t-tops were off. SOOOOO stupid!
Just figured Ide let you all know that another thirdgen was needlessly taken out of use for a very stupid reason, and to bring attention to all you people who think you can drive drunk. I wish I had a picture of the car before and after. It was a 1984 firebird with GTA ground effects and rear-end. Was white with reaco( SP?) racing seats, nice system, 327 built up to 340 hp w/ crager s/s rims. Now, 3 rims are ripped apart, the front end is now the rear end, it is an actual chop top, and the engine block is where the passenger used to be.

Sounds like the passenger got what the driver deserved.

another thirdgen was needlessly taken out
I hope you mean another thirdgenner, because the car doesn't matter man... it's insignifigant compared to losing someone. Cars can be replaced.
