I don't know if any of you Ontario guys ever chatted with GTA-Paladin.... he was a member from BC. I talked to him a few times about crazy build ups... apparently there was no suffering for him.

Cascade Crew has plans to attend the funeral and possibly a memorial cruize.

RIP buddy.

 

thats really sad....sorry to hear about that.

 

Man I just saw the pic of it in the wall... that's a hell of a way to go out. Wake up call for the young guys. Save it for the track.

 

yeah car is devastated and the car put a whole in the wall.

 

very very very sad!!!! ( I hate to sound shallow, but sad about the car too, it was nice... hate to lose a fellow car nut too... I feel teary eyed.

Wish I can join on the cruise

 

I dug up this picture of GTA-Paladin and his baby.... I am devastated.. he was younger then me

 

this is so sad.....the paper said they were between 19 -21. no older than me....and looking at those pictures it hard to believe its the same car. those poor guys...this a tradegdy.

 

Theres just no way to put in words how sad that is or how bad it sucks... I think Im honestly going to change the way I drive my gta on a few roads...

I hear ya man... kinda makes me fell like an *** in how I drovbe last night when I was pissed off

 

I'm going to sticky this for a little while... I don't feel right just letting it drop to the bottom.

 

good idea man...

 

.

 

oh man thats really terrible..
that someone from the board is gone forever, and there last few post are still seen on the board.

 

That's sad to hear...

 

It's an aweful thing. Three people are gone, one of them a member of the thirdgen family. Let this be a lesson for us all...we all like the performance of our cars, we get a rush when we drive fast, feeling the power accelerating the car to high speeds...but, let's play it safe people, keep it on the track.

 

Damn I really cant believe that. Im so used to seeing him on the boards... that picture of him and his car was pretty upsetting too. My condolences.

 

Very devastating,thoughts are out for family and friends.

 

Damn! That's aweful! I hope they are wrong about the alcohol related bit cause that's a helluva way to learn a lesson.

 

Just read the link/report.

This is a tragedy. This is a sickening waste. I, we have all seen this too many times. The GTA can be replaced but these people are lost forever.

If the truth be known... but for the g-r-a-c-e-o-f-G-o-d I myself (and maybe some of you too ?) would be in the obituaries too. I'll be reminding myself about that next Sunday in Church.

my .02 cents worth,
RP.

 

Very sad. Those pictures are chilling. My thoughts are with their families right now.

but it is very sad..
i feel for his families and the families of the 2 others that were in the car...

keep it safe boys/girls!!

Hello, just wanted to post an update to our Crew brother GTA-Paladin. This is the news update of the crash:

http://www.canada.com/vancouver/thep...1-A385DC02200C

We will miss him in the Crew, we never even got to meet him face-to-face with his beautuful Bird. May his memory live on. He has a guestbook on his website if you look in his profile if you'd like to send your condolances to his family/friends.

Edited to add his guestbook: http://pub.alxnet.com/guestbook?id=2257161.

 

That says it right there please guys KEEP IT OFF THE STREETS, I know I am guilty of speeding and we all are but this is a real eye opener and my thoughts are with all their families now.

 

A tragic loss for all. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of those involved. I specially feel bad for the families of the 2 passengers. We are masters of our own destiny when we are behind the wheel, but, the others were just along for the ride.

 

My wife and I are very saddened by this.

 

Sad...very sad...

When I first saw this I didn’t know what to respond with, but all I gotta say is hopefully he is in a good place and my condolences to all his family, friends and all who have been saddened by this.

 

I would like to expand on what I said before. By no means at all am I trying to brag, but I have done speeds comparable to that with friends as well at night on the way to a party or whatever. The thing that really hits me, if it was like a kid racing a ford explorer or some 20 year old in a civic, I would be like, well that was foolish to mess around in a vehicle like that. But je$us, thats the same thing that I drive, Im sure he loved his car as much as any of us, and chances are as an enthusiast he wasnt a bad driver skill wise. That could easily have been me, and Im sure other drivers on this board that drive a bit too fast for fun at times. Theres no way we or anyone else can justify their deaths but if we can all learn a lesson from this, then maybe it wasnt a complete loss. I know theres a few things I wont do anymore... A drift or a donut in an emptied parking lot, or maybe a quick blast down a straight empty road is still ok in my books, but theres a time and place for everything. Thanks for reading this, and if anyone disagrees with this then keep it to themselves or pm me cause this isnt the time or place for a flame war.

Take a look at that, all three ages together dont even equal a canadian citizens average life span... RIP

 

Just wanted to say I love you guys. seriously, hope you're all safe in driving.

 

Well, I feel better to know that alcohol was not a factor. May *** be with the families of all three passengers, as well as their friends. Not much more I can say... I still get chills thinking about it

 

this is really unbeiliveable...this has really changed my outlook on driving fast....i just hate to think what his last few moments were like...im at a loss for words

"I still get chills thinking about it"
your not alone man

like mark said..i hope all you guys are safe

RIP brotha...you are in our hearts and will be greatly missed

 

Wow...I don't know what to say...I didn't know him, never got to speak with him, but I'll miss him just the same.

-Trace

 

R.I.P. for all 3 of the victims

 

I don't post here much anymore, but a link was posted over on SLP's forum. RIP to a fellow thirdgenner.

And ya'll are right, it could have been any one of us. Wow.

RIP

Sorry to hear about the loss

 

Having alot of horsepower in a street car can be like putting a drink down in front of an alchoholic, to tempting to resist. Its unfortunate that it takes a tragedy like this to make us all drive a little more responsibly.In time this incident will fade from our memories,hopefully we will not have to read about any other member of this board meeting the same fate.My sincere condolences to family and friends

 

This will certainly make us all stop & think how prescious our time on this earth is, and how quickly things can change...... May he rest in peace & our thought & prayers go out to all who knew him and his family. Wish we could all be at the memorial cruise...

 

We have all done it before...

even the old timers that now keep it at the track.

There is always a time and a place...



I don't want to read another post like this..


Take care, drive safe...
