Bootcamp, your thoughts kind of mirror mine. I was thinking about the same person when I read this. I am pretty young guy, I’ll be 21 this year god willing; but when I look at the way I drive compared to so many of those younger people, and they seem to drive like they are invincible. And now it’s not only horsepower we have to worry about but size as well. In my area young guys and girls get big vehicles, when mixed without experience. I’ll never forget on my way home to school. This guy had a raised truck with off road tires; he ended up running over a car like he was in a monster truck rally. They had to get the Jaws of Life to get her out.

My parents would even think about getting me anything like this rather they or I had the money for it either. In fact my parents withheld me from getting a license to I was nearly 18; and while it was a little extreme looking back on it was a blessing. The peer pressure of doing things stupid were long gone by then I had a chance to mature personally.

1 Bad Mirada I sorta agree with your assessment, Parents were being cool instead of being responsible. I would expect a child to act like this in that situation. But I feel sorry that the parents most likely were trying to be cool, and it cost these kids their lives. I would expect this from children. But I would hate to be in the parents shoes. Four other kids are gone. Four sets parents lost a child, some of which may not have know what he was planning until it was too late.
