Default RIP Michael (Lurius)

Some of you may or may not remember a guy that went by the username of Lurius, but he drove a very nice black lowered 04 ECSB with a 408. Well i just received news that he died in a car wreck yesterday. They aren't sure exactly what happend, but they think it had something to do with his diabetes. Just thought I would share the news on here for anyone that knew him or had talked to him.

Here is the only article I could find on it so far

I had just talked to him yesterday about him searching for a 72 Skylark to throw a motor in

I'm not sure which truck he was driving, he had his 408 truck and he also had a 68 c10. I'm assuming it was the c10 since he daily drove it and was on his way home from work. It also doesn't have any crash protection which would explain why he didn't survive the head on collision.

His truck was the whole reason I started modding mine.

Heres an old video I found of him and his truck, he was a great guy and one of the nicest people I've met. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have a modded truck.

To explain the end of the video, he had told all the members on ls1tech and chevytruckworld that his 5.3 had blown and was doing a 6.0 swap.
