may god rest them both in peace

It is strange when I bought my new motorbike the user manual stated "ride with care and within your capabilities" meaning do not think you can preform stunts and take bends at speeds with defy physics or your handling capabilities.

I do not know what caused this tragic incident for two people to leave this earth much earlier rather then later but I am sure speed had a part to play.

SPEED KILLS

keep it on a track where at least some element of health and safety is present.

Hindsight a beautiful thing.

also found out today both james dean and paul walker were killed along with the other person in the car.....not just 2 dead but 4....it was revealed that paul walker was not driving however.

we all know it was some sort of race happening though....obviously too much speed for the conditions....a few differences....james dean was hit broadside....paul walkers car hit either a telephone pole or an electrical pole....


still reminds me of the foolish way I used to drive when I was 16 or 17..I am so grateful I survived those heavy heeled days intact

...I am also so glad my car feels so much nicer on a nice slow cruise around the shore.....normally way under the limit so I can watch the water waves and scenery....she growls like a mean and nasty killer.....but I never have to prove it

Sean Edwards also died in the passenger seat of a GT3 Cup. He was the leader in the Porsche championship.

CGT's don't have a history of killing their occupants any more than other type of sports cars.

The type of car is only one of many contributing factors. The biggest contribution to these tragic crashes is usually the combination of the drivers and the conditions they are driving in.

Actually, the mechanic driving with James Dean at the time of his deadly accident survived the crash

Any car is only as safe as the person behind the wheel, alas.

Dean was behind the wheel of his 550 Spyder. Donald Turnipseed, driving a 1950 Ford, turned in front of Dean, causing a collision that resulted in Dean's death. Rolf Weutherich, Dean's mechanic, and Turnipseed survived.
