uhhh.... buy my car or come get it on friday cause i'm gonna kill my self

I'm confused. Steve, are you saying someone did or did not commit suicide because of this site? And who are we talking about, because it isn't ringing any bells. The only people I remember threatening suicide on here or just talking about it are : Back In Black, red89notch, you, and Maverick. If it was Maverick, pardon me while I toast to less downs syndrome genes in the shallow end of the pool.

i firmly believe we have already lost 1 member to suicide, though it may have not been this sites fault, which is really impossible, but he did come on here looking for help and was harrassed aggressivly and left the site and later killed himself.

You don't go on to a Mustang website looking for help when you're going to blow your head off. That's what suicide hotlines are for. It's been proven time and time again, that it's purely seeking out attention. You've been guilty of it yourself.


I've lost two close friends to suicide, and many not so close friends. Not a single one of them sought out attention or asked for help from anywhere, or anyone. People that are going to do it, don't talk about it. They just do it.

Can this site be nominated for some kind of Nobel Prize? Peace prize, Humanitarian prize? Just sayin...

For all the bullshit that goes on around here, this was a breath of fresh air. Hats off to you two guys.

i am jaded, i go to almost all the track and ft worth meets. people in person are great. its the tools that dont attend the meets that add salt to peoples open wounds trying to get their rocks off that i worry about. i firmly believe we have already lost 1 member to suicide, though it may have not been this sites fault, which is really impossible, but he did come on here looking for help and was harrassed aggressivly and left the site and later killed himself. was is our fault? no? did we help? no? its hard to be certain, but i think everyone will agree we have alot of people here guilty for kicking dead horses when they should just shut the fuck up for once.

CandyJunkie?


Edit:

Good job Ram, Teamjacob, and King for actually being nice to "teamfag" for once.

You sound jaded. With only a couple of exceptions, everyone I've met in person through this site is the diametric opposite of your assessment. I think you might take what is said on this site at face value. You should attend more meets.

With a sawed off 12 guage maybe

I might have a job for you if you're willing to relocate to Houston. The pay isn't that great, but it's very rewarding work

can you hit shoot a pit bull from a moving vehicle?

I've done a LOT of different things over the years but my provable job history is mechanical/electrical maintenance work (12+yrs as a signal technician for 2 different railroads). I've done electrical work, computer work (IT), retail sales, drove a Limo for the last superbowl, and have even done Wide-Load escort driving. I DO have a CDL license.
I wouldn't mind having a normal 9-5 indoor job considering the last 12 years have been spent dodging cars and trains while making repairs in the pouring rain, sleet, snow, and lightning. The money was good but I was killing myself. Money aint everything.

If you're willing to relocate, I think you would have vast more opportunities. Just a quick glance at the Jobs forum will enlighten you to that fact. Hell, even North Star Dragway is hiring.

I've got an opening hauling sand for frac if you have 3+ years experience doing class A driving. if you want more info just shoot me a PM, its based out of Alvarado, TX.

Just a followup for anyone interested. I've lost too many friends and too many relatives from suicide to not react to this. Sure a lot of people make statements like this to get a reaction or for kicks. This was not the case. I contacted both the LH Police and the Williamson county sherrifs office. I just got a follow up phone call from the sherrifs office. They did make contact with him and he was actually planning to kill himself. The deputy told me that he was 100% certain that if I hadn't contacted them that he would have killed himself and told me that they were getting him help. The deputy looked at this forum also and said that it was good that TEAMJACOB posted the initial question because by doing so he saved someones life.

Well done sir. One day this board is going to go too far with it's antics and push someone over the edge.
