Very Sad.
I am trying to put myself in your shoes to understand the pain/guilt that you must be going through right now. You must be really feeling depressed.
From what I can read, there was nothing that you did that could be deemed negligent. It is an 'accident' in the truest sense of the word. Hopefully the police enquiry will come to the same conclusion. I assume you have a decent driving record for a couple years - that will help your case.
Lean on your family and girlfriend - their support and ours will pull you back to normal. It is gonna take time though. Have you had a chance to talk to your friend's family?

Really sorry to hear that Matteo You're OK and it's a good thing but it's scary to think how life can change rapidly, in just a second. I was having this thought this morning when driving my car and I am sorry it happened to you
Keep on the positive note and all my condolence for your friend Matteo.

When read the topic title I was hoping it was the 944 you were calling your friend... Sadly not. This must be tearing you up inside...
Unfortunately there is nothing that I can say that will make you feel better right now. I just wish to express my deepest sympathy with you and your friends family. May your friend RIP.

Oh my! When you said we're like family, I really do feel like that too. When I read your story it made me very sad because it feels we've been friends for so long now. Keep your head up and you'll make it! May your friend rest in peace. :cry:

OMG sorry to hear this Matteo
I am happy that you are ok without inguries. Fingers crossed that they dont charge you for his death cause those things just can happen, this is same here with the law's but I know people who didnt have to go to prison or anything. I really hope everything will be ok!
Hard to give you any advise but dont blame yourself on this what happend, it can happen to any of us.
Be strong and we are always here for you, PM me if you need anything I can help you with.

Matteo, my friend, words cannot describe what I know you are going through so don’t even try to fully explain them. First let me say that you are a very strong individual for even coming to JW and explaining what happened. The loss of a friend, especially very close ones (I have lost a few to motorcycle accidents), is difficult to say the least. When it happens with you under the controls it just makes it that much harder. I know the guilt you fell must be heavy but please keep with you that you did all that you could to prevent this unfortunate incident from occurring. Whenever you feel the need to just stop what you are doing and breakdown, do it. Holding it in will just tug and your heart more and the show of emotion just further solidifies the love you had for your friend and will continue to have even in his passing.

Don't really know what to say. I was also hoping that the friend you lost was the car. I really feel for you even if I don't actually know what it's like to lose a very close friend. Just try to stay strong Matteo and hopefully you will feel better as time goes by.

This may be the most inapropriet question rightnow but as it was your dream car - was all the insurance papers 944 done before the crash? i mean if all was payed and so?
Were you driving more than allowed on the road?
