Hey boys....we're not invincible!!!

Hey guys...I'm getting tired as **** of writing these things...I just found out that my good buddy died in a car accident Friday night. Because he wasn't wearing a seat belt! I'm guilty of it too from time to time...hell I didn't have one on tonight before I heard the news. We gotta stop this ****!
You guys might have met him (or known him from Miami) at the Singer Island Invasion. He was the kid with the green '54 Chevy with flames. Damn...I'm just numb. He was my good friend and my neighbor....****.

That ****s.

 

That's rough man, he had some talent too, that was a nice looking car. It's too bad that it takes something like this to remind everyone to buckle up.

 

You gotta be ****in kidding me.,****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nope...Jesse's brother just came by mu house to tell me. Anthony...sorry...I'm confused and in La la land....I should of called you! Sorry you had to hear it like this!

 

holy ****! that ****s, sorry to hear this

i dont wear my seatbelt...was anyone else hurt or killed??

 

The guy was cool! First I stripe the guys car,than I hung out with him at your show,he ends up being the guy who sets up my cable and spent an hour and a half extra fixing my computer while he was here....I showed him pics of every custom Chevy I ever saw.....and now this.......... Thank you for introducing us,keep your head up!

 

I am sorry to hear of that. My prayers go out to you and your friend.

 

im sorry dude, was he killed in the chevy?

I pray for you and his family. Sorry.

 

I don't get it! How hard is it & how much time does it take to snap a seatbelt? Is it that uncomfortable for you? Maybe if you saw the cars that were in accidents where folks have hit the windshield - like I have doing repair work - you'd change your mind. The blood, hair, & even teeth stuck in the gl***... Want that to be you?
Not only that, but you should wear one anyway just to maintain control of the vehicle. Ever had to dodge some idiot? Think you can do that & get slung out of your seat jumping a curb or ditch & still control the car? Think again.
Parsonally I'm uncomfortable if mine is not tight; you will be too once you're used to it.
WEAR THE DAMN THING!

Sorry to hear about your buddy. It is never good news to hear this kinda **** some of us dont even think twice about hopping in are cars and going. I have to install a set of belts in my ford. I have new ones sitting in my garage and and havent put them in. I guess this is the reminder I needed!!! May god be with you, his family and freinds!!!!

I just met the guy, he was cool as hell.

This is so sad, I'm at a loss for words.

 

Very sorry to hear about your friend.


Nobody goes anywhere in my car without a belt on.

 

Josh...that's EXACTLY why I posted this. Hoping I would remind someone to put their seat belt on, start wearing them or install some. Please do me a favor and get some in your Ford. I'm installing some in my old Dodge today.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, guys.

 

My Condolenances to you and his family. I lost my best friend about 30 yrs ago in a wreck because he wasn't wearing a seat belt. Seeing a young person killed in a wreck is one of the toughest things I have to do as a Professional Firefighter. It's almost as bad to be maimed in an auto accident tho. That's what I've always feared trying to navigate traffic running emergency.
Seat belts, good tires and brakes are lifesavers with the volume of traffic on the roads today.

 

Sorry to hear about him.

 

I'm sorry to hear it unpunk...It's true - we never know when the accident is coming.

















.

 

Im sorry to hear this and my prays go out to all who know him and his family.I havent been wearing mine much in my daily and i dont have any in my 50 yet but it scares the hell outa me when i look down at that steering column of death. i dont want that thing thru my chest or face. Thanks for making this post it got me to want seat belts in my 50 now. was he driving the chevy when he got in the accident?

Bryan

 

Sorry to hear that! My heart goes out to all his family & friends.

 

So you know the post did some good, I am on my way out the door to get the hardware to install the belts in the Pontiac. Been puting it off for too long.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

James... Jesse has spoken through you with this post. Judging by the responses in this thread, people have heard his message.

Starting today, I'm buckling up. My wife and kids will be thrilled.

 

The cars most of us drive(like Jesse's Chevy) have as much metal in them as 3 Toyotas, as long as we can stay in em there is no reason this has to happen, if you really hate the look that much you can easily tuck the belts into the seat when you get to the show or cruise night, there is no reason not to have them.

 

Damn,,,

One of the good ones gone. Only met Jesse once but it seemed like we knew each other for years. We talked stuff like computers, the mods to his car and all sorts of stuff. When I read this I immediately thought of all the ideas he had and plans, makes me want to cry. Hopefully hes up there now installin the airbags in his Chevy. I'm gonna go hug my kids.

If theres anything that needs to be done...
John.

 

I'm sorry about your loss

 

Hell no one would want too......

on a more serious note, bummer on your pal, I know I don't in the Olds pretty regular, figure it aint going to keep me off the steering column anyway, but I damn well should !!
We had 6 die here in a single car V tree at the weekend not one including a 2 y/o wearing a belt.... and its been law here for like 30 years.

 

...............................................................................prayers to you ,and his family.

 

So sorry to hear about your good friend. May God bless him and his family.
