``` 'A man's attempt to impress a group of women he had just met outside a Northeast Heights dance hall turned deadly Friday morning when he crashed the car he was driving at high speed, killing himself and two passengers and injuring two others' http://www.abqjournal.com/720317/news/police-name-3-killed-2-injured-in-friday-morning-crash.html I bicycle up Pennsylvania to Osuna often; there's a nice multi-use trail along Bear Canyon on the north side of Osuna. Pennsylvania is a residential street. ``` ---

This just proves that brainless idiots are still alive and well all over the world. They are born every day so they will be around for a very long time. Sadly…these types of stories will be with us forever. ---

You guys are harsh. It is a sad story no matter what. I am just trying to keep my kids out of cars driven like this and keep my fingers crossed. ---

**galant…** there is a time to be harsh and a time to be soft. This is the time to be harsh in my opinion. Did you catch the Helen Mirren commercial dealing with drunk drivers? She was harsh and I loved it. It’s time to call a “spade” a “spade” in this country. ---

It might be the time, but is this forum the place to be harsh? Wasn’t there recently a piece on NPR about more US military personnel dying from reckless behavior off base than in combat? ---

If not ‘‘harsh’’ at least . .brutally honest. ---

I thought the thread title meant something else by “man showing off”. There have been a few times when driving down the road, either alone or with other females in the car, that a man has pulled along next to my/our car to show us how he can wag his front tail. ---

I was young and stupid for a while, luckily I survived it. ---

Count me in too. I regret having been that way and thankful my kids are not like me. I am not sure what had gotten into me between the ages of 12-19, but somehow I survived it and didn’t hurt anybody either. ---

I’m in the young and stupid survived anyway crowd; and in some cases not that young. Consider it old enough to know better and still no smarter. ---

The last well known event of a guy showing off to his girlfriend was when he grounded an ocean liner on the Italian coast with the loss of many lives. Driving on public roads is serious business; doing this carelessly will invoke Darwinism. Reality is usually “harsh”. ---
