80+ on a road with a limit of 40, and 80+ in a 15 mph turn

I knew who he was as my kids loved those movies. I personally could not deal with more than 15 minutes of them but hey, I am just an old fart.

Everything I have read about him since he passed has been pretty positive. A good man's life cut short.

Bad decision to go fast at that time.

......Yeah......me too,but.......got'a admit......when Diesel stands 'at 'Merican muscle on it's azz........at's baaaaaaadddd shizzola,LOL......

Not doubting you…but do you have a link?

Not doubting you…but do you have a link?

Cant find the link I was reading but here is an interesting snippet

"The road near the crash site showed burned rubber and doughnut marks. "I don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen."

You were right, chez, there is one in every crowd.

Wrong! There are at least two.

They leveled a 45mph sign and came to a rest in front of a 25mph sign...

Your whitness

So, 225 mph? I understand you were just showing the ridiculousness of the speed, but maybe they were only doing about 90, and tied to avoid something in the road. Maybe they were being idiots and street racing someone who bumped them and are afraid to come forward? Obviously speed was a factor, but maybe there were circumstances outside of their control? Maybe they modded it and put a Toyota engine in it that stuck throttle wide open?

Rodas was a professional driver and did extremely well on one of the circuits. He was Walker's partner in a racing team.

I haven't heard anything at this point that indicates a cause for the accident. High speed…how high? There were skid marks (apparently) before he went into the light pole and subsequently into the tree. Something in the road? Mechanical failure? I'm sure we'll hear more.

This is exactly what I was getting at. Maybe there were circumstances outside of their control.

So when do we get to see the charred corpses?

 

[stephen87]

Most likely, and hopefully, never. There are some things that should not be posted on the internet. This, is one of those things.

I guess the implied purple wasn't obvious enough...

And I'm sure that most people here might suggest such atrocities, but if actually given the opportunity to make that call they wouldn't.

And if you WOULD truly like to see people you disagree with dead, please speak up so I can add you to my ignore list now.

I apologize if my purple meter failed me. I've just seen a lot of implications, if not downright suggestions lately on here that some people would rather see someone dead than alive with a different opinion.

I think sympathy sex is in order.

Are you worried about the taste of charcoal, pdog?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Hey now, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the tree was speeding!

Great answer! Let's leave chez on the jury, your honor.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

That is exactly what I've told several friends that decided to get married when they wondered why they're never allowed to come out and play.

I loved his movie Eight Below. He was so passionate about his dogs (kids) in that movie. He was taken way too soon. Prayers to his daughter and family.

Yeah I was reading a lot about him. Apparently he really loved the outdoors and outdoor activities more than anything.

Apparently no matter how fast and how furiously someone slams the vehicle in which you are riding into something, if it breaks and burns and kills you, it's the manufacturer's fault...

 

[1911ly]

Yeah. I read about that yesterday. Stupidity and a total lack of responsibility, not a car defect caused that crash. Doesn't she have enough of daddy's millions left?

Truth is she's most likely a tree hugger that doesn't like fast cars now. So no one should have them.

This is ridiculous on "ALL" levels. Just ridiculous.

Too soon?
