if there's anything we could do to help we should. i know for the fact Ben doesn't like people posting pic with him in the car. maybe u should remove the pic if u're willing to do so.

Unbelievably sad...having recently had a child myself, I find this just too stunning for words.
May he rest in peace, and with time, I hope his family can find some sort of tranquility.
just unbelievable....I'm just sick
RIP Ben, never knew you, but knew you were a good guy.

I'm with all of you. Never met Ben, but recognized his contribution to this board and "knew" him as a real car enthusiast.
I know he has a new baby girl, and can't imagine how his family -- or the family of the passenger -- are coping.
RIP and godspeed to his family and friends.
Sad.

I still can't believe it. I knew the guy, met him a couple times, and I am in shock. RIP Ben. I am still at a loss for words.

Wow. Sitting here stunned ...
Really too shocked to comment coherently. I just had a long conversation with him 2 weeks ago. He helped me get floor mats for my new Turbo and ding service for my old one.
... And saw him and his car at an event in Carlsbad ...
RIP Ben.
