A Grafton, Ohio man will spend six and a half years in prison after killing his father while spinning the wheels of a 1978 Ford Pinto in his driveway.

Brian Naylor, 55, pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of his 77-year-old father and another man. Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge Cassandra Collier-Williams sentenced him to prison Thursday afternoon.

Naylor was drunk the evening of Aug. 13, 2015, spinning the wheels of his modified 1978 Ford Pinto in an attempt to do burnouts in the driveway of a Strongsville home.

He lost control of the Pinto, which tore across the driveway and into the house where his father, Delmar Naylor, and his father's best friend, Thomas Beaune, were relaxing.

Naylor's father and the 61-year-old friend were severely injured as the car crashed through the home. Both were hospitalized and later died from their injuries.

Doing burnouts at age 55?

Doing burnouts at age 55?

age isn't the issue here.

the real issue is the Ford Pinto.

True. Any other car and ut would have been just regular vehicular homicide instead of aggravated.

Poor bastard. All he wanted in life was a fast pinto. Now pappy is dead. :'(

John Force is 67. He has been known to do a burnout or two.

Burnouts at 55 is definitely an issue.

Ohio is not quite as South as I would have expected this story to be though. Although it does boarder Kentucky..

Why the hell would anyone modify a Pinto????

in all seriousness, pintos are cheap to modify.

they are light and cheap. drop in a turbo 4 from a SVO Mustang or from any other Ford with a turbo 4 and you have yourself a 12 second street car (assuming other mods to the chassis/drive-train are done).

a V8 swap is a no brainer as well.

Well you certainly aren't going to do burnouts in an UN-modified Pinto. And as Iron Woode points out, they are cheap and easily modified. They make great cheap hot rods. Assuming fiery death isn't one of your buttons, anyway.

My Dad owned a restoration & body shop while I was growing up before he retired. He took a Ford Pinto, tossed a v8 in it and some other bits and bobs. Let me tell you...that car was fast. It was a bad ass ride.

I owned a Mercury Bobcat at that time and wanted to do the v8 swap as well and my Dad wouldn't let me. I was a bit of a speed freak and he figured I'd wrap it around a tree.

Pinto's can be bad ass if done right. This was back in the mid 80's if I remember correctly.

Nice turnaround of reality. Usually the most dangerous place to be is INSIDE the Pinto.

How old is Jeremy Clarkson? Jay Leno?

Why not? If he claimed affluenza, he could have killed four people and just get probation.

"He sold his two Super Stock Mustangs late in the season 1972, and purchased a Pinto Pro Stock from Jack Roush and Wayne Gapp"


Still sounds bizarre, and he looks really old for 55.

Not really, I'll be 55 in October and I do not look anywhere near as old as the guy that crashed.

I would have expected manslaughter but I guess being drunk changes that. Kinda assumed that only applied on the road, so it's still weird to me that they called it a homicide. Was he angry with them? Did he do it on purpose? Didn't see anything to indicate that in the story.

Homicide just means that one Homo killed another; it makes no value judgement about the legality of that killing. Or for that matter, even the particular species - although the options there are admittedly somewhat thin.

Legally, there's a difference. Murder 1, Murder 2, Manslaughter, Involuntary Manslaughter, Justifiable Homicide. If you were convicted of "Vehicular Homicide" like this source indicates, it's probably not a Manslaughter conviction. It's essentially the "Murder 1 by Car."
