C5 Owner Killed

Hey guys, I'm normally over in the C3 area but thought I'd pop over here and post this. This happened not too far from my house in Lutz (near Tampa) - Andy Suarez was killed in his 97 vette yesterday, he lost control and hit another vehicle and was ejected.

I don't know if he was a member or not, but our thoughts and prayers go out to his and the other drivers families.

Hopefully peace comes to all involved and the bystanders very soon.
God bless the families and friends.

Horrific accident, I guess he was not wearing his seat belt.

These kinds of things are hard to hear about. It reminds us that these cars can get away from us in a heart beat. We must be careful at all tilmes. Our prayers go out to all involved.
