Default What happened to Steven Lorenzo??

Does anyone know, I have seen it asked a couple of times in different threads, but I think it's getting skipped over.


Any answers?

HE wasn't driving the car, another kid Max was driving the OB SRT-4 that hit a tree at 70mph. The driver and steven in the front were killed instantly. The passenger in the rear lived.

They had installed a BOV, and there was also an STB on the car. Other than that, nothing.

Steven helped out alot of people by offering color matched eyelids to the SRT community. I never met him nor did business with him but everyone said he was a great kid to work with.

*Edit* He also owned a 2005 Orange Blast SRT

a bunch of people with srt-4's around here have either totalled or been killed, the car does not handle a crash well....I was very moved and saden when i watched the steven lorenzo memorial video ahwile back. The only thing i wish for srt-4 members and anyone who likes to drive fast or have a fast car.....just be careful, think before you want to play around. I have been to a few accidents with my girlfriends dad(fire chief), the last one i attended a lady drove 15 feet and hit a tree on her motorcycle. It only takes 15 feet to really get hurt!!! She was at a complete stop, went forward and laid the throttle, wheelie was started and then the tree was hit. At the scene she was out cold, blood coming from her head, lifeless, no movement. She wouldnt open her mouth for a oxygen tube(this is a serious sign of brain damage). 15 feet, i couldnt believe it, from that space curb to tree she broke both her eyesockets, side of her head caved in, so much swelling that doctors but her in a medically induced comma. To this day she is still in that comma and in serious condition.

Be safe guys/girls

It doesn't seem many newer cars handle crashes well.

I was woken at 3am by a loud noise followed by a car horn going off continually. After calling 911, I drove down to an area near our pasture. The first thing I saw was the entire rear end of a car wrapped around a fence post. Then my lights caught what was remaining of the front. Only thing left to what I found out was a Ford Contour was the drivers compartment. The pasenger side was gone, the car was cut in half behind the front seat and what was left was about 6 feet from going into the river. Someone was standing by the car and my first thoughts were "thank God someone got here first". I walked up to him to see if he needed help only to find out it was the driver. All I could see is a few cuts on his chest. Though the ambulance was there in an amazingly short time, I didn't have a blanket (it was December) and didn't have a flashlight in the car. I never felt so ill prepared before.

I now have flashlights and blankets in every car, and will add other things to the first aid kit. (Asprin and bandaids aren't much help.) I hope I'm never in that situation again, but will be better prepared.
