Goddamn, this accident has really gotten to me. I never knew armando personally, but we talked here and there and he was always a good guy.

RIP Armando.

RIP Armando.
same here man, i thought about this accident a few times today.

i too never had the pleasure to meet this fine fellow personally, wish i did...
we did have some cool convos via p/m over the years though. he always seemed like a very genuine legit guy, something that is lacking in the world today. he was def. a good guy for sure...


godspeed & ride in peace 'mando.

I had meet him once at a local car meet, down to earth guy and easy to talk to.
He had bought his bike a few weeks before I bought the same exact bike with the same color!

My condolences go out to his family,
May he RIP and God be with him.

Horrible news. My condolences goes out to family and friends.

Even though many of us don't know each other, I feel that /26 is a closely knit group...and events like these can really shaken us up.

Godspeed brother

Exactly, funeral costs & etc aren't cheap. I will get in touch with my vinyl guy, I will also need more info on him (DOB) and possibly someone to design the decal. Also I need a way to contact the family to verify that this is ok.

Stickerdude is going to do the decal's along with my magazine (Tuner Maneuver), we will be overnighting 300-500 stickers to sneakherhunter tomorrow. You can get these from him at the Eibach meet or on here through PM for $5 a piece.
