Unhappy RIP Pedro Aguirre

We suffered a tragic loss at what I can only call lack of respect for speed on a public highway… at this point only God knows what really happened but I just want to show this to remind folks here to take it easy on the street (I know I have been guilty in the past of ridiculous speeds on public highways so not throwing any stones here… but something I stopped doing more than 6 years ago)… leave the high speeds for the track.

We lost a dear friend (cousin of a very close friend)… Pedro Aguirre lost his life Thursday night/Friday morning at a tragic accident. He leaves behind his wife and two lovely daughters that will miss him dearly.

RIP Pedro.

Yes. He smashed into the guard rail...


PS - Before some one else points it out... this is not a GT3 but a GT3 look alike... just felt that it was a reminder to keep safe on the roads...

Wachuko, where did this happen? I noticed you're in Orlando, but we had a very similar accident a week ago in PR.

Sorry for your loss. Looks like a cooler in the boot. Hope it was not alcohol related.

That and the fact it was "Thursday night/Friday morning" had me wondering the same thing. If so, I think that (alcohol) rather than speed was the cause of this tragedy. And if it was, thank God he didn't have his family with him or take out someone elses.
