    Oh no, very sad to hear. I can't believe it.

    R.I.P Ben

    Edit, I took out my comment. Don't want to make this thread into an argument.

    It is sad news, but where are you getting your information from? You weren't there.

    This was posted on CR. Has some new/different info. To me, the details just don't add up. There's no ring of truth in the story.

    But really, I'm just sad. Can't believe he's gone.

    I agree. Let's just keep this as a remembrance in his honor. Everything else will follow suit.

    I've talked to Ben several times on instagram and via email about parts and eachothers cars. Being on the other end of the country, I had never met him, but he seemed like a cool guy. This story is totally out of left field to me. RIP man, hope there's a miata for you to slide around in wherever you are.

    Very sad. So young. Certainly a loss for the Miata community.

    Loren was able to swap out the banner in his section of the forum to this one in memory of Ben.




    All of the other threads in his sponsor section have been closed, except for this thread.

    Several people and tuners are working on printing up some free BOSS stickers in memory of Ben in case anyone wants one.

    details on those to follow.

    Rest in Peace Ben, we will all miss you.

    Ben was the first CR member I met in person back in '07...I'm still in shock.
