A fool and his car are BOTH departed
Just read about the guy from the "JackA**" series of Movies and MTV wadded his 2007 Porsche GT3 around a tree and off an embankment in PA. If you've ever driven one of these, and I have, it is about as near perfect a car to drive as you'll ever get. Even the power-off over-steer is very tame compared to old 911s. The ONLY thing I can possibly attribute this to is BOTH bad driving skill and alcohol. Please don't blame the car!!! Mr. Dunn, the self -professed "slacker" truly lived up to his name of being a JackA** Worst part is he took someone with him who WASN'T driving.

This happened about 10 minutes from my house so as you could imagine there's been a ton of coverage here. Just read today that they figured out he was doing 130. The road he crashed on is essentially a two lane back road...

From AOL News:
After an accident reconstruction, Police Chief Michael Carroll told RadarOnline.com that the Porsche 911 was going "about 130 mph" when the accident happened in a reported 55-mph zone.
"I've never seen a car destroyed in an automobile accident the way this car was even before it caught on fire," Carroll said. "The automobile actually came apart. It was unbelievable and I've been on a lot of fatal accident scenes. This is by far the worse I've ever seen."
Just confirms that he was an idiot and a slacker................130 on a small country two lane road in West Chester PA!!! Oh and 130 is nothing for a GT3, so it was definitely driver error......No disrespect, just stating the facts

respectfully, he disrespected public roads and ultimately killed another life, therefore in my own eyes, respect for the dead is out of the question in this situation.

hmmm...I think I finally figured you out 
....at what point is he stating anything other then the obvious that most likely happened to that actor? Yes it's bad to die but even worse when you do it foolishly(drunken stupor) and take another life with you. It wasn't the cars fault unless poorly maintained to begin with but even that goes back to the owner whose suppose to keep up maintenance.

F this guy. We are supposed to be respectful of a loser slacker who made money acting like an idiot, and died doing the same? Really this guy only had two options coming, drug overdose or dying in some stupid accident... natural selection at work here....nothing further to see.

since when has anybody cared about the dead, other than their own family and friends? Not to sound harsh, but it is the harsh truth.
the dude decides to drive **** drunk down a small road at over 120mph+ with a friend and ultimately kills them both? no sympathy from me.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
Huh? I couldn't care less about him or the guy being dead. Point is, say your opinion and leave off the "no disrespect".
