We buried my best friend in 1986. He had the speed thing bad. Cars, bikes, quads, he had it all.
He died in a single-vehicle crash, due to excessive speed. It was a Fastback Mustang with the final touch of his modifications done the day before, new tires.
I thought it was dream talk but I later learned it was not. He kept saying to me that he was going to buy a Yamaha dealership and I was going to be the manager. He, the mechanic. I was nearly done with my business degree.
Found out that his mother was 2nd on the ladder for a large local brick plant. She had been leaving the first digit off her income she told her family for a long time. She was hiding her income, from the family, had paid cash for everything they had, and was making payments on the non-existent loans out of the fake income for the family. She was working on buying the Yamaha dealership before Mark died. It was likely to close on the deal later that year. How life can turn as you make choices. Or, others near you make choices.
