I don't see anyone receiving any joy from this guy's accident. It's a unfortunate (albeit preventable) mistake, that's it really. I'll reiterate what he said above drinking and driving is never a good mix... EVER. It's not a personal attack this just serves as a reminder.

George, maybe I just skipped some posts, or I just fail at reading comprehension (which I'm frequently guilty of lol) but I don't see where anyone is being hard on Vito. I've seen a few wisecracks, but that's to be expected.
I do agree people shouldn't take pleasure in other's misfortunes, but I don't see anyone doing that here.
Me personally I'm just a bit shocked by the whole scenario. Can't even imagine what the parties involved are having to deal with...

While there have been a few posts attempting humor, I think it's just an example of dark humor. No harm is mean't, it's just the kind of thing you would see when people are not personally connected to the person or the situation.

Has anybody thought of the possibility of the driver reading these posts or lurking on other Boss threads and not being able to post? Part of the Mustang experience is not just having the car but sharing the passion with a group of friends at the end of the day.
The event itself and its subsequent penalties is punishment enough.

Sounds to me like your just looking for a reason to make an arguement. Accidents happen all the time. They get reported all the time. No reason that this one is so special that it shouldn't be reported.

I will also point out that I have not said a single negative comment about the member in question. But I also don't feel that he should be offered some sort of TMS protection.
The picture of his accident should be a stark reminder to all of us the sort of thing that can happen in the blink of an eye when driving a high performance car. It should also be a reminder of what could happen if you drink and drive. It has the potential to absolutely destroy lives. I'm sure he's remorseful but these are things you need to think about before getting behind the wheel of a car.

Regardless, the points regarding this matter are clear and additional comments would be pointless.

And vito if you're reading this, I'm sorry it happened to you man. Hopefully everyone makes it out ok. We all make mistakes at one point or another, some small, some big. And I'm definitely not in a place to be casting stones

Well I guess the news shouldn't cover a car crash of any type either.

i have no sympathy for someone who drinks, then proceeds to get behind the wheel and do over TRIPLE the speed limit in a residential neighborhood.

No sympathy for whoever it was from me. If someone is stupid enough to go that fast on a public street after drinking that much, they deserves everything the law can throw at them. Hope they spend some time in jail thinking about what they've done.
Very sad for the car, especially being a LS. The car did not deserve a death like that. Boss's deserve a death sliding off a racetrack at 130+ mph. Not a tree in a residential area.
RIP Boss.
