Sorry for the blurry video, but it'll give you an idea of the huge turnout for these guys. They were loved by the entire car community around here and it was really nice for all these people to show up. Rest in piece, guys.

For all the people who didn't see my earlier post, basically, after this morning's Cars and Coffee, Jake (who had an R33 GTS), was trying to help Josh (who had an old beetle). They were on the side of the highway standing in at the back of the beetle when a unlicensed, uninsured, Illegal immigrant smashed into them, killing them instantly. It's been a huge blow for all of Knoxville's car scene...

DISCUSSION (18)

It's always nice to see how the community comes together when one of their own passes. My condolences go out to their family and friends.

That illegal bastard! Killing one of our own! It's a shame when the car community loses someone, it's worse when it's more than one, especially young people(provided the fact I don't know their age).. :(

Would you like a picture of a car? My condolences..

They were both in their early to mid 20s...

Kinja'd!!!

Sure man that would be nice, and I'll give you a picture of Jake's car. I took probably 30 mins before the accident. (His R33 was also damaged in the accident, the rear end is all smashed in...)

dayum man so sorry to hear. I had a friend die at 22, it sucked.

Sure! What car would you like me to find you? That R33 looks gorgeous! I like the wheels especially. Very clean looking and I bet it's a great car as well. I don't know much about them. Shame what happened to his car too. What will become of it?

Around here it's basically achieved mythical status, so someone will probably scoop it up and fix it. It just recently got tuned at the shop I got my car dyno'd at, too. It was there when I was there.

Anyway, uhh, how about an E28 M5?

Now, on top of all of that, the unspeakable one will not get deported, because the ICE/DHS doesn't see it necessary.

I'll find the best one I can! Anything specific about the E28 M5? Color?

Yep, most likely. I have a (legal, lol) Mexican friend who normally doesn't like it when I bring up the not so great things about Mexico. I told him about this though and he told me that they need to deport his ass and throw him in prison for the rest of his life. I totally agree. He said that people like this guy give Mexicans a bad wrap.

Nope, just any one will do!

Yeah, my parents had some friends that went to their church... hard working, they helped him become legal. I can handle that... but shit like this... no. Between this, and seeing constant news reports of shootings and rapes by multiple-offence illegals. As if we didn't have enough problems as it is.
