My friends MR2... -

So I just got off the phone with my friend who has an MR2. To give you a little backround on this guy, he's 20 yrs old and works his ass off at school and works at Toyota detailing cars. Well I've known him since we were 14. He's literally been working since then to buy a car. When he was 17, he bought a 1992 MR2. We lovingly named his car "The Deuce". I've never seen someone work so hard for or on a car.
He didn't rice it up or anything, he actually put care and effort into this car by installing actual good shit for his engine. His dad worked at the Sony around here and naturally got good discounts on things like fold out dvd/TV and CD players and shit. On top of that , his dad also did work for a local garage as a comp tech guy. Recently my friend had installed a turbo engine in it. It took him like 2 years to save up for, but when he got it he literally himself helped install it and did alot of extra stuff for the engine like powder coating it and cleaning it really good. This thing could really haul. He wasn't dumb about it racing on streets or anything, he did it on tracks and when he went to MR2 meets all over Florida.
Well last nite was the death of the Deuce. My friend was at a stop light with his GF when all of a sudden he felt a huge WHACK! His car, which is only 2 seater, was pushed forward about 20-30 feet. He got out of his car to see if the guy behind him was okay. HE gets out of his car only to see nothingness behind him. A lady and her kids who were in McDee's and saw the whole thing rushed out to see how he was and shit. His car was TOTALED. His engine is in the back of the car and thankfully it took the brunt of the force. He and his GF were okay, but as they were sitting there at McDee's waiting for the cops and shit, he see's a truck at the same light that had it's front end all messed up with parts of his engine in the front of it and it's riding on like 3 rims or something. Another kid who also saw it asked if that was the guy who hit my friend and he said yes. The kid jumps into his Saleen Mustang and takes off after these dudes. The kid and the cops follow these guys about 5-10 miles from the accident scene and the fuckers jump out of the truck and take off in a field. Needless to say the K9's slame these fuckers to the ground hard and the two are arrested. These guys were high and drunk as shit.
Now the reason I post this is because I know some of you guys are really into cars and shit. Just remember that for as much money,devotion and all that shit you put into a car, and no matter how safe and responsible you drive, there's always fuckers who aren't.
Here's some pics of my friends car before the accident. When he gets the chance, he's going to send me some of it now.
