Was heading to my friend's body shop yesterday for our usual car talk and him drooling over my car day when I got a text I never thought I would get. My friend John had collapsed at his shop and passed away just a few hours earlier. John was the guy that never let me pay for anything with my car. He used to laugh at me cause I was always so **** about every tiny chip or scratch and just tell me to bring it in and he would take care of it. He was an old school muscle car guy but really took to my F telling his employees the "Lexus with the bad adittude" is hear when he would hear me pull up. After driving my car a few times he told me he was gonna have to get one even if he would be sleeping in it once his wife found out. John was only 53 and went way too soon. Here is to u my friend, wish I could have had a last ride in my F with u.

 

sorry for your loss

 

My condolence to you and his family. The most important things in life are good health and happy, anything else are just fumes now let ride

 

Very sorry for your loss.

 

sorry for your loss buddy. It really hurts when you dont even have a chance to say goodbye

 

Sorry to hear of the passing of your friend,
I lost one of my closest friends about a year ago and can tell you I miss him everyday.
He could talk cars for hours.

 

I'm sorry for your loss. There's nothing more meaningful in life than family and friends. He's looking down on you now and reminding you to seize each and every day. You never know what tomorrow has in store, so you might as well enjoy today to its fullest. May he rest in peace.

 

Thanks for the all the nice thoughts everybody

 

This is very sad. Hopefully he went peacefully, turning that wrench one more time on his favorite Muscle Car in the shop

 

Damn mrd, sorry to hear about this. Big hug to you from your F family.

 

sorry to hear about the loss of a good friend. it always punches you in the heart, reminding you, that life is truly short and to live it to the fullest.

 

Sorry to hear... In '09, My Dad died of cancer just a few months before his 60th birthday. Before he got sick, he lived a pretty healthy lifestyle for someone in his 50s (physically fit, non-smoker), so his illness & eventual death was definitely a shock for us. That changed me forever. I try to enjoy myself as much as possible and do the fun things I want to ASAP rather than putting them off till later in life. My wife is the opposite and if she had her way, we'd save every dime not spent on essentials. F that!

Of course, I try to remain responsible by saving for retirement, etc, but I also strive to keep a good balance of living in the moment & planning for the future. As they say, life is too short & YOLO.

Sorry for your loss. Losing friends is no fun, and you just never know how much time you have on earth.
